Hi. I'm a (relatively) new grad RN looking for different types of jobs. I'm not interested in hospital, ltc, etc. nursing. My focus is mostly on health promotion, prevention, and wellness. This...
Amber, I wanted a full-time job that would allow me to use more of my skills as well as allow me more time with patients, getting to know them. I enjoyed the traveling (when my car was still running...
Thanks! I try to stay positive. Some people on this site are great. Others not so much. Just like anywhere else online (or in the real world for that matter)!
I'm actually working FT now in a clinic. But I have a list of other flexible employers. Keep in mind you may not be hired as an RN exactly. You may be a "health screener" or something of that...
This would be a good place to start: http://www.ncbde.org/ It's the website for the National Certification Board for Diabetes Educators. While the entire website would be great to look over, the most...

I volunteered for several months with a health education non-profit before landing a very nice (non hospital) job. Without the networking and experience I gained from my volunteer work, there's no...
I've also been making a ton of notecards to help me. Reading/writing/teaching others are the best ways I learn. Haven't started drawing diagrams though, that's a helpful suggestion. I think that as...
Thanks suz! I found a ton of info online. I'd just like a handy reference to carry around. If I can't find a free copy of the AACE's booklet, I'm going to get it for myself. Thanks for the
Hello everyone. I am still a relative new grad with less than 6 months experience in outpatient settings (no inpatient). After applying to over 100 places, I've had 12 interviews and gotten a few...
