  2. Trying to decide on nursing school

    I've blown off studying to cruise Allnurses, and here you are! My resume looks like a sampler platter rather than a main course. One of the things that I liked about being a truck driver was that I...
  3. Urgent question

    Management refusing to fix their staffing issues, and refusing to come in to cover a shift. Poor leadership seems to be a systemic problem, but I'm sure there's an excuse for

    Have you considered a Pediatric ER? I bet you're a wizard at those really short sick people! I'll also bet you're good with their sometimes frantic
  5. New nurse struggling

    I'm maybe a bit of an oxymoron: I'm a travel nurse who wants to stay close to home. You mentioned you like to travel. Spend a year becoming a competent ICU nurse, and then become a travel nurse. You...
  6. Kooky Kork's got it nailed. This thread provided an interesting debate in our sleepy ER tonight, so that was fun. What if I wear my "Media Kills Love" T shirt? No doubt that'll offend some people who...

    I'm an ER nurse, and my wife is a veteran Home Health nurse. Prior to nursing I was a Paramedic. I mention it because I definitely understand your affinity for Emergency care, and because I lived with...
  13. Travel nurse specialty?

    I'm currently a travel nurse, about half way through a geriatric in-patient psych assignment. Prior to this, all of my nursing experience (just under 18months) has been ER. ER and psych are my two...
  14. Required to stay after night shift?

    Personally, I would be more concerned about the ability to return to work and stand your assigned shift safely, than the safety of staying late at the end of the shift. I have a one hour commute each...
  15. LPN to RN bridge program

    I went to Pratt Community College, Pratt, KS. They have a bridge for Paramedics and LPNs to go to nursing school. Myself and several other students were from out of state. I realize you said you...
