  1. Lets talk about $$$

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to russki1313's topic in Home Health

    I rarely work HH anymore but I'm still on with my agency and am offered shifts. Ours is private duty, 12 hour shifts with only one (wealthy) client, usually with minimal and sometimes no nursing...

  2. If you are an advocate for natural birth/homebirth with CNM

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to hardworkinmama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm of the opposite mindset in that I think it's safer (not necessarily more comfortable though) to give birth at a hospital where medical attention for mom and baby are on hand at all times. In...

  3. Finished my MSN this morning - ask me anything!

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Western Governors University

    Yes, Barkow, you have to pay for another term and can't officially "graduate" until the end of that term. You may want to consider pulling out all stops and getting that one last class done this term...

  4. Finished my MSN this morning - ask me anything!

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm scheduled to start the MSN Ed on 1/1/13 as well. I just completed my BSN through WGU (submitted my last assignment yesterday) and I love this

  5. Finally did my own delivery

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to itsnowornever's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Congrats! It's a great feeling but also a bit overwhelming because there's a lot of multi-tasking to do. Give it time, it'll all become second nature

  6. how long did it take for you to get into L&D nursing?

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to NurseJessie2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Med Surg and L&D are two completely different animals. The OB/GYN nurses who floated to your floor, lbingham, did not have some of those "foundational" skills you're describing because they never...

  7. New to nursing field - got fired after 2 months

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to lifeisgood2012's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Let's hope they were honest with you about the reason they let you go. I know our hospital just let a nurse go during orientation because no one liked her personality. It got to the point where she...

  8. Dealing with nosey nurses

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to Aviationurse's topic in Agency Nurses

    I don't think other nurses who ask questions about your agency work are being nosy, I think they're just curious or trying to gather information to see if it's a viable career move for them. I know...

  9. The Wisest Thing I've Ever Heard on Allnurses ...

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in General Nursing

    "The hard is what makes it good" That quote helped me to persevere through school and to not shy away from life's challenges Sent from my iPhone using

  10. I think I've landed my dream job

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to bostonbakednurse's topic in Home Health

    I, too, work in home health and absolutely love it! As someone already stated, I am my own boss and do not have to deal with hospital politics, I have more time with my pts, get to interact with them...

  11. New Grad First Job Question

    SanDiegoCaliRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi guys, I'm a new grad and have read along the way how important it is to career plan and to make smart career choices that'll help me to advance in my speciality of interest. Well, with as...

  12. does anyone get a set day off

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to sunshine1216's topic in General Nursing

    I wish everything can be fair just as much as the next person but it'll never be. How about the smokers who get frequent smoke breaks the rest of us don't? I do hope you can get the set day off...

  13. So I cannot find a job, thinking about relocating to Texas

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to lampost20's topic in Texas Nursing

    I LOVE Pensacola! I used to live 8 hours from you and vacationed there as often possible. The sugar white beaches are to die for! I'd jump at this job opportunity in a heartbeat if the planets...

  14. BS holder - ADN or Second Degree Program - Please help!

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to kalin's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely wouldn't describe the ADN program as slow-paced or laid-back. I had no life once I started the two-year nursing program for three reasons: 1) I was at the mercy of my university's...

  15. Maybe bedside nursing isn't for me

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to stewiegriffin's topic in Nursing Career

    I guess it depends on where you live but here in SD, aesthetics nurses make $40-50 an hour, have great hours, benefits, and oftentimes receive bonuses. It's also a huge plus that the clients do not...

  16. Maybe bedside nursing isn't for me

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to stewiegriffin's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you considered aesthetics? Laser treatments and Botox injections require an RN, at least here in CA. I've heard it can be a lucrative field with a fairly low-stress, predictable routine and...

  17. LPN instead of RN?

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to nowim clean's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is an interesting discussion. In my ADN program, we had LPN's and they had to do the entire 2 year program along with the rest of us (and were too buried in nursing school requirements to work...

  18. Anyone attending University of Phoenix RN-BSN?

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to nurse2bmom's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm also in San Diego and am starting UOP's on-campus RN-BSN program next month (10/3)

  19. RN-BSN

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to peanut2011's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I start my RN-BSN program of U of Phoenix on 10/3 and my total tuition, including online books will be almost 20K. The 68K they quote on their website is for an entire BSN degree, start to finish...

    Yep, in one word:

  21. Online Nursing

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to JuliaC2014's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would love an answer to this same question. I'm enrolled in the RN to BSN program at U of Phoenix and have the option to take my classes online instead of in the classroom. I wonder how much...

  22. New grads and student nurses...textbook question!

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to NothingsImpossible4U's topic in General Students

    Personally, I would get rid of every one of 'em. I kept my A&P book for reference (HUGE, heavy book) and never looked at it once throughout nursing school. The reason your Med-Surg book will be...

  23. New Grad First Job Question

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to SanDiegoCaliRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you everyone for taking the time to respond. I guess I'll go ahead and try to get ANY work right now and just hope to work into the speciality I'm interested in later. Who knows, I may love...

  24. New Grad First Job Question

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to SanDiegoCaliRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for all the great replies everyone. My long term goal is the OR but I know that's unrealistic right out of school. So, in the meantime, I'd really enjoy doing aesthetic nursing, including...

    SanDiegoCaliRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, very best of luck to you Mrs.SnowStormRN! I do hope you get the job and it was worth the long wait
