Thanks for all the replies. I will encourage him to keep looking at this as a career option. At this stage in his life he would not be interested in going to nursing school, but I think being a...
Child care is definitely an issue and I have been following this thread closely. I am not a single mother, thank G-d, but I often feel like one. LOL. My hubby works retail telecommunications so his...
Congrats! I suggest you keep checking. My friend just took her NCLEX last Friday and it didn't show up until yesterday. I'm in NY as well so I am talking about the office of the professions online...
HisTreasure replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC
In my experience, the elderly often do know-sometimes before we do! My grandmother hadn't seen me in a couple of months. She took one look at me and said "When are you due? I bet you haven't told...
I need to get my CPR certification as mine from nursing school is expired. I came across this website and it has a pretty impressive list of facilities that utilize them. Don't know how accurate it...

I signed on with MSN. Here in my parts they have a really good rep. I have yet to do any shifts with them as I am still postpartum, but I plan to in the near future. The daily pay is a BIG

I have a Medicaid provider number but I have yet to get a full case all to myself. Those that I associate with are private duty nurses and I hear generally excellent things about this "specialty"...
I just interviewed for a position in an assisted living facility as a resident services director. I think the interview went fairly well and I am confident that I am at least a contender for the...
Congrats to everyone! I remember getting the letter and all the anticipation leading up to the first day. I remember my first day so vividly even though it was almost two years ago (WOW!) This is a...
This topic surely strikes a cord with me. In Florida I went into preterm labor with my daughter. Spontaneously, and even after the terb and mag my uterus continued to contract regularly. My husband...

I have three youngins, 2, 3, and 4. My older two were very easy to teach how to brush. I started them early with baby toothbrushes and baby orajel toothpaste (with little bear on it). As they got...
HisTreasure replied to Gompers's topic in NICU, Neonatal
I watched it OnDemand, I believe it was a week and a half ago. I was intrigued by it because for a while I thought I was going to be a NICU mommy. Thank you, Jesus, that hasn't happened. I found it...

Paycheckcity will give you what your take home will be after taxes. It is very accurate, to the penny, in my experience. I am not an RN yet so I can't offer any advice in that category, but my...
Just found out my brother's girlfriend pregnancy is threatened. Her baby has fetal obstructive uropathy. She's eighteen weeks along. The bladder is distended and larger than his whole abdomen and...
CMA is a very rewarding job, if you can find a position. My cousin is a CMA and was able to secure a job in a wonderful pediatrician's office. But she works her butt off and she is paid $9/hr....

No, I'm not implying why SHE would go through with the procedure. That is understandable. My pregnancy has been threatened and high risk from the beginning, but I was willing to do whatever I had to...
I am so worried about my unemployment insurance claim! I was let go from the job because I was out on disability past eight weeks and they could no longer hold my job. I was told that my...

Just to piggy back on this excellent post, St. Mary's Campus (hospital) is part of the Unity Health System which includes Park Ridge. St Mary's campus has an excellent brain injury unit. They...
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Allnurses is a global phenomenon. It is hugely popular, and a lot of us spend a good amount of time here, venting, learning, and sharing. So, the odds...
HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing
Thanks for all the responses. I did the google thing, and I was very...scared. I'm happy this thread got so many hits, because I was starting to feel selfish for not sharing this site with some of...
I upgraded to premium to help out the board that has been a source of inspiration (and in some cases, perspiration LOL) for me. It just seemed right that I would pay to use such a valuable source....
