I've done a little bit of almost everything in my 15 years so far. I've done tele, med/surg, ortho, travel nursing, step down, PACU, ICU, ER, and now work for a LTC/rehab facility and love it!
While I really do like the job I have now, I wish I would have stayed with travel nursing longer. My goal would be to work in all 50 states then go international Non nursing, I really like the idea of...
When I worked ER I had an 18-19 year old male patient come in. Don't remember why he was there, but for some reason we needed urine for a drug screen. Kid said he didn't have to go, so we gave him ice...

As I've already said, I love my ice cream! Wine is also great (and since I make my own, cheap and large amounts lol), but my absolute fav snack food is Cheese its. And don't mess with my cheese its! I...
Please, I'm dying to know the brand of ice cream???? I love ice cream, usually stick to the skinny cow ice cream stuff, but once a week I let myself indulge, and that one sounds
I did quit a job because they were mandating we change to white uniforms. But, it was not the only reason, more of just the last straw, so I got another job closer to home that paid more and let me...
I've been an RN for a little over 15 years, and I'll be the first one to tell you I make a horrible patient. Why? Because I know how the system works, it sucks, and I have no patience for it. Like a...
