  1. Salary expectations

    Emilynn09 replied to Emilynn09's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Me? I have 1 year experience. I was making $39/ hr in CA. I'm married so dual income helps, as well as the lower cost of living. We definitely aren't as well of as we used to be but we make it just...

  2. Sleep Mask

    Emilynn09 posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hello, I am looking for reviews on specific sleeping masks. I am going to start working the night shift at the end of January and I need complete darkness or I don't really sleep. My living situation...

  3. High Desert Medical Center

    Emilynn09 posted a topic in California Nursing

    We may be moving out to 29 Palms soon (not by choice), and I was looking at hospitals out there and it seems this is the closest to where we'd be living. I've heard one thing from a friend who said...

  4. I'm not an ED nurse :(

    Emilynn09 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Emergency

    If the ED is not for you, the ED is not for you. There's no burning bridges, there's no feeling bad about it and honestly, it says nothing about you as a nurse, other than it's just not your thing. In...

    Emilynn09 replied to Emilynn09's topic in Health, Stress Management

    So, here's what I did. I got an ap for my iPad that is pretty loud, called Relax Melodies, you can make it sound like rain or a floor fan or combo of noises; it's been working pretty well. For the...

    Emilynn09 replied to Emilynn09's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I don't want to get her dinged by her HOA is the problem. The room I rent is right up front at street view. If she gets a citation because of me, I'd feel

    Emilynn09 replied to Emilynn09's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I had thought of that, but there's no space the way the blinds are set up to do that, even with the tiny ones. :/ this situation I am in is not ideal, so thank heavens it's only

  12. Dansko v. Sanita

    Emilynn09 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  15. Dansko v. Sanita

    Emilynn09 replied to Emilynn09's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    From what I've gathered, Sanita has been around longer than Dansko. Sanita began in 1907 and Dansko in 1990. I read that Dansko used to be a Sanita distributer and then when the agreement ended,...

    Emilynn09 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I will be starting a new job, in a new hospital in a new state. I'm used to working days and I'll be going to nights this time. Wondering if any of you seasoned night nurses have some tips for working...

    Emilynn09 replied to mcknis's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have 3 pairs of Dansko, and I alternate them. I've never noticed any wet insoles or anything of that nature. Maybe you just need a second pair so you can

  21. Is there something wrong with me?

    Emilynn09 replied to nursedanny614's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you have no reason that is anchoring you to where you live now, I would search for states that are in most need of nurses and start applying outside of your state. You need to get experience some...
