  3. Are your student loans freaking you out?

    11:11 replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Men in Nursing

    Many of the NPs I know recieved their masters while working for a hospital or service that paid for their advanced education. Perhaps you might consider this route (if you havent already)? As far as...

  7. Unemployment

    11:11 replied to 11:11's topic in Travel

    Medic, no you werent simply asking whether the down time was voluntary or not. The issue of "deserve" was placed in the equation by you. Like I said...Ive never filed for it before. Travelers I work...

  8. Unemployment

    11:11 replied to 11:11's topic in Travel

    And no it isnt by choice. My company doesnt have any jobs in radiology anywhere though others are looking. And I have four mouths to feed other than my own. Since Ive been back from Iraq Ive only...

  9. Traveling Companies that hire new grads?

    11:11 replied to BROOK9960's topic in Travel

    This can easily be done, with a bonus and relocation too most likely. Traveling can be nice but it has its downsides too, things you cant and wont see coming unless you have a few years experience....

  10. Mail service

    11:11 posted a topic in Travel

    Can you experienced travelers comment on using mail services like Fedex etc, which ones you use, recommendations, pros and cons etc?

  11. Mail service

    11:11 replied to 11:11's topic in Travel

    I think I should requalify my question... Im referiing to mail services people use rather than a home mailing address. A Rad tech I work with uses a service as a mailing address which sends him his...

  12. Radiology tech, vs Radiology Nurse??

    11:11 replied to wackyj2000's topic in Radiology

    The RT®'s I work with make over $30.00 per hour. They not only do the radiology part but also scrub in. Sometimes the RNs do it but mostly we monitor, chart, and do

  13. What to do for RN/EMT-P?

    11:11 replied to tater.jake's topic in Men in Nursing

    Demonsthenes, Congratulations for earning your ACLS. However I believe that after a short time you will realize how much you do not know as opposed to how well prepared you are to deal with all...

  14. Are any of you guys as burned out as I am?

    11:11 replied to Germanicus's topic in Men in Nursing

    I dont blame you for wanting out. Ive only been in this for about six years and Ive just about had it. Ive been in a few jobs myself having got into this later in life. Ive never met a more rude group...

  15. ICU nurses?

    11:11 replied to 2ndChance's topic in Agency Nurses

    This hasnt happened more than once or twice the year or so Ive worked agency but it really depends on your area. Around here some of the agency nurses talk of a dry period where quite a few of them...

  16. Finally on the floor!!

    11:11 replied to nelsRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Youll most likely feel "uncomfortable" for more than a few days. Ive heard of nurses that puked after shifts for months. That was never me and doesnt have to be you of course. If youre like anyone...

  17. Finding a job harder than school and NCLEX put together

    11:11 replied to HotmaleSPN's topic in Men in Nursing

    This might be a route you should consider. Nothing wrong with being an LPN of course, but your opportunites will be greater as an RN. I would try to stay out of LTC and focus on hospitals or clinics...

  18. Need advice from agency nurses!!

    11:11 replied to lisa41rn's topic in Agency Nurses

    I think that you might want to give the agency a try if that is what you have been thinking about anyway (unless there is something you arent telling us). If you have a few years experience then you...

    11:11 replied to pw079's topic in Men in Nursing

    What kind of advice are you looking for? Scholastic? Inspiration? What....? Do good in school, get good grades blah blah blah. If you are already a senoir in highschool its too late to change anything...

  22. need some help with footwear guys

    11:11 replied to DONN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I wear Asics but thats irrelevant. I tried nursing specific shoes and found them to be substandard. I also went through a half dozen different medical clogs. You can spend all the money you want on...

  23. Late Start for Nursing?

    11:11 replied to nodaknurse's topic in Men in Nursing

  24. Developing Speed

    11:11 replied to brotherbear's topic in Men in Nursing

  25. Why Men In Nursing

    11:11 replied to nikdav4's topic in Men in Nursing

    After many trips to big city ERs as a lad, I thought nursing to be exciting. I took a paycut to enter this profession. I too, think there is a spiritual component to providing aid and
