Hi I had malpractice ins but after meeting with my insurance guy who always does a great job keeping my costs down he said I already have a clause in my existing homeowners policy similar to malpractice ins that covers me for inflicting any harm anywhere I go (8-0 lol (even at work) so he said I did not really need extra ins because this one covers my net worth which is what he recommends . So if you have something in place already then u might not need it but I do suggest some sort of coverage and the malpractice wasn't too expensive anyway.. Better safe than sorry!

That's a tough position. Myself I would prob do something part time within the day care hours. It's good for you have some interaction with adults while your husband is deployed but full time might be too much time from the kids.. (?) overall in the big picture any experience is good experience and the acute care can.come later if that the way it needs to be for now.. ..I'm in the same career boat without "acute" care experience but I have a very rewarding position with medically fragile kids .. I think after working here now I'd prob qualify to work acute but not sure i even care if I ever do anymore : )

I disagree re acls and pals I was specifically ruled out for several positions because I did not have them. Where I live there are 800 new grads coming into the market at every semester completion with all the JC university and private school graduations. Competition is very very stiff for new grads and every certification you can get behind you will keep your resume at the top of the stack .. Around here anyway. Maybe there really is a nursing shortage where you are and these things don't matter. If so that's awesome for you!

Acls and pals are great to have though many laces will pay for them later it looks better on ur resume up front

I agree .. Compared to a lot of people I do pretty great financially.. Especially in my area which was one of the 5 worst hit in the nation during the recent economic problems. I make about 73k and it goes pretty far because our cost of living is pretty low.

And ps you might want to give a sincere thanks for the break for positive reinforcement.

Mho: If the dr handled then I wait and see if it happens again.. She may have learned something there. Make a note of the date and time as suggested and give her the benefit of the doubt for now..

Ps there are some good demos on you tube ..just looked at a few..

Funny I was just about check you tube for video demos on Iv insertion lol.. I'm having a dry spell ..was getting pretty good but now I've failed at my last 3 .. I hate the feeling that I can't do what I'm supposed to be able to do : (

As a fellow nurse- baker.. Don't limit your self to cupcakes.. They are a trend and the next low carb diet craze rolls around you'll be out of beeswax faster than Krispy Kreme was in my state when Atkins hit the news. You need a variety of offerings and skills to make it in the bakery biz... So hone up on cake making /decorating and learn a few other tricks and treats..something special not being offered in ur area.. cupcake only shops need to be somewhere that gets very intense foot traffic of ppl in a good mood to have a treat..like down town in a tourist area where hundreds of ppl are going by.. Think of how many $3 cupcakes u need to sell per day to operate a storefront and rent and utilities and other staff in a prime tourist spot.. .. That's a LOT of cupcakes..you'd need a few $500 wedding cakes a week just cover ur costs..not trying to be negative.. I'd like to do the same thing someday lol.. Just some practical thoughts I have had for my own considerations of having a small bakery some day.. Good luck : )

It's ok. You will like it once you get past the awkward phase of being a student. And there are a lot of biotches out there that's true but ur new best friends are out there too ..give it a try for a bit,, and see what happens. Being a nursing student is completely different than being a nurse . ..

I'm not sure what the official answer is but I've gotten every job I've interviewed for while wearing scrubs. I think it's a way for them to visualize you working there as that is what you will look like when you come to work (?)

I've known people who have gotten stuck. They rushed .. I refuse to rush with sharps.

When I went to nursing school I was a single mom with no child support or family financial support. I could t even get food stamps. The only aide I got was a $750 pell grant each semester and discounted child care. Turned out it was all I really needed. I waitressed full time and worked at a Dairy Queen decorating ice cream cakes part time while i went to nursing school full time. My mom helped with the extra child care because that was the only way she could help me. I paid for each semester with my waitressing tips lol! ...the place was just a neighborhood pub where a bunch of regulars came. Nice people and very fond memories of THEIR support knowing I was juggling all this with a 4 yr old. Ahhhhhh I miss those days!!! I loved school!! I remember the first day of school when an instructor asked those who had jobs to raise their hands an about 6 of us did and she told the rest of the class "take a look at these people with their hands raised.. You won't be seeing them next semester" sent chills down my spine.. But they saw me, the next semester and the next and the next lol

That's a rather suckish system going on.
