  1. Aesthetics Clinic opened by RN's

    Today in the Sun paper (TX), I saw an ad seeking clients for an aesthetics clinic that just opened. I have also seen television commericals for them. There is no MD's name anywhere on the ad. My question is how--how do you open a clinic like this...

  7. The workload of the FNP program

    i got accepted into the fnp program for this fall. for those who have already graduated, how grueling was the workload? i'm going full-time, and i don't plan on working. don't get me wrong. i'm very much looking forward to studying and love the s...
  8. Am I too old to become an NP?

    i'll be 48 when i finish the fnp program. like the previous post, i too made a conscience thought and effort to exercise, eat right and to nourish my mind and soul. i was living in a black hole before i changed my ways. i was running on empty all ...
  9. Are there seasonal (traveling) NP's?

    i have recently applied to the fnp program. having said that, i would like to know if there are np's out there who (or can you) work 6 months in one state and 6 months in another? my husband loves the heat of texas, but i hate it. it's 90 degrees ...

    currently, i live geographically in a place that i hate and have no desire to be in, and i'm somewhat without a job. i work prn in a nicu (when i'm not canceled or "on call"-which is a lot lately). i've been looking intensely for a nicu position (h...

  12. when i graduated in 2003, there were so many nursing positions. now there are a handful of jobs. where have all the jobs gone? i have a few thoughts on the matter: 1) nurses who retired are back in the workforce due to loss of spouse's job or loss...
  13. there is a perfect job for me (almost), but it's a night position. what do you do to make sure you get enough sleep with the sun out? when i was a new grad, i took a night position. i only lasted 3 months. i found it very hard to stay awake, but ...
  14. Angel Staffing out of San Antonio

    I live in McAllen, Texas, and I got a flyer. I too am curious.
  15. I was a teacher too. I loved teaching, but I love my job as a NICU nurse more. I live in TX, and without getting specific, I make way more than 58,000/year. Yes, it can be a very stressful job, but you have those days when your bored. There are d...
  16. anyone having experience with coding?

    I have a bachelor's in nursing and an associate's in health info mgment. I didn't last long as a RHIT. Each to their own, but I found it to be extremely boring. I make way more as a nurse than I ever did as a coder. The only reason I ever pursed ...

    Thank you. I'll will be looking into Banner Health.
  18. Is anyone a seasonal nurse?

    Is there such a thing as working for 2 hospitals (6 months at one and 6 months at the other)? You go back and fourth to just those 2 hospitals throughout your entire nursing career. I'm asking because I don't like the idea of travel nursing-at least ...
  19. I'm wondering if there is a pay difference in NICU-level II? If so, does anyone know the range? Where I work it's $6.00/hour more. I'm moving to the pacific northwest in June of 2009. Also there is a lot of overtime available if I want it. Is th...
  20. Doctors Hospital

    As the previous post writes, I totally agree. I too am getting out of here as soon as I can. I hate this place so much. If you are not here yet you can send me a PM. Out of all the hospitals in the RGV, I think this is the best, but believe me, it's ...
  21. NICU in McAllen Medical Center??

    I can't begin to tell you that the previous post is soooooo correct. I have been trying to get out of this he-- hole for years and have approximately 1.5 left. More than half of your parents will speak spanish only. As a person who has tried to learn...
  22. Need help obtaining NICU job

    My job in nursery (level I) started out as a necessity, but it turned out unexpectly to be the best job I ever had. I love, love, love taking care of the babies. Sometimes, I can't believe that I'm getting paid for something I love to do. As I told a...
  23. I have lived in south Texas (Rio Grande Valley) for approximately 17 years, and I have always hated it. I so appreciate seeing other nurses complain about this place. I was starting to believe I was a wimp and complaining unnecessarily about nursin...
  24. I heard that if you accepted and worked a travel assignment at a particular hospital that you cannot work as a travel nurse at that hospital again. Is that true? I want to travel between 2 hospitals as a travel nurse--six months at one and 6 months...
  25. Have you ever been assigned to take care of a movie star, singer, etc? I never have, but I know there has to be at least one of us here who has.
