Hopefully not, it's just a PRN position so I'm probably going to be working 3 or 4 times a month so it's extra money that's always welcome in my wallet

Hello!! I'm about to accept a RN side job at a nearby Clinic and it looks like they are hiring me as a independent contractor. Anything I should keep in mind professionally as a independent contractor? Also, I heard that I will have more complicated taxes during tax season. Anybody have any experience?

I've been trying to figure that out for a while now but I can't figure out how it works. As in, should I claim 6 or 7 and guess (calculate) how much will be taken out of my paycheck and deposit it into a high yield interest account?

Depends on what certification. For me, I was looking into a wound care program which costs around 7k and there are other certification classes that have that high tuition. Of course, something like a Med Surg cert will cost only 400 dollars but I want to become certified in something where i might be able to expand my career

The second link. Just put in the hospital address and look at the score. I'm not sure about the mental health score. You should ask your representative to see if you can work there

We can do that?

It looks easy on TV haha. California Bay Area prices though

I was wondering about that too. NPs in city areas are plenty plus more paying dues...

Hello everybody. If you have 7k, from say, tax returns, would you use it to -Pay off part of your 30k student loan -get a specialty certificate such as WOCN -Apply and enroll in NP school around 25k What would you do?

Hello All I have the question from the cheap seats, I'm enrolling in a WOCN course for late spring/early summer and I'm hoping to get a job as a wound care nurse something by fall (hoping!!) My question is that if I take the WOCN course, do I immediately have to sit for the WOCNCB exam? Or is it one of those things where I work as a WOCN first and then sit for it after a couple of years of experience?

I actually just finished the nurse corps nursing scholarship program. If you have any questions, you can message me

That's actually really good advice, Thanks!

I think that is also what's stressing me out! Learning "their" right ways to do things!!!

Hello Everybody I just started traveling and I'm at my first new facility after working two years in a hospital in the south. While I only have a few years of experience under my belt, I feel completely brand new when entering this new hospital. I feel like I'm a new grad who knows how to nurse but hasn't adjusted to my unit's culture... My question is that feeling always there, with every new assignment I take? How do you get use to it? Thoughts?

Thanks, I been trying to figure out if two years is enough but this help assure me I should start looking into other areas. I see so many nurses get at least 5 years before doing so I thought I would be stuck for another 2.5 years before I could become competitive applicant.
