Just a few thoughts. Would you consider pursuing nursing/crna after retiring from the PD? That way you can concentrate fully on your career choices. It sounds like your in the civil service department so you could be retiring quite young depending on...

Party foul!!! While these mindless twits sit around sipping coffee and gossiping we're actually working to make a difference....

Love this thread! I've had similar thoughts about being a nurse in Disney or even on a cruise ship lol.

I always drive over the speed limit. Coffee. All. Day. I almost never take my vitamins. I self diagnose and treat accordingly. I could eat steak every day.

Lol. It definately is ok to feel a bit "fainty"during new experiences. Especially if your expected to be a part of the process! I nearly passed out the first time I cleaned up a c-diff blowout!!! I made my way over to the chair the patient had just ...

Congrats on your new job! first question: Did you eat breakfast/hydrate? Second question: Are you pregnant?

Isn't this the same person who says they don't go on these "trips", and just ends up picking up the pieces on Monday morning. You know what, I give up...... I thought this was going to be a great thread til I opened it. Kinda like that acquaintance t...

Been following this thread all weekend and officially give up somewhere around post 130. OP is a boarding school nurse now, no? My timeline is reading that his experiences were almost 20 years ago. Doesn't that just make this all a MOOT point consid...

Oh darn and here I thought this thread was going to be about crazy parents lol!!!

June 13, 2015 Cc: DON; Nurse Manager; Entire Hospital Staff Dear Human Resources, I regret to inform you that I will be departing Wonderland University Hospital after 30 years of service. Wonderland has provided me many opportunities to learn and g...

Compression socks can be covered by your insurance if the compression you need is 20mmHg or more. But you have to find a provider in your area that will size you and prescribe them!

Agreed! I love what I do and will most likely still work after retirement! I want to do it because I can not because I have to financially.

I don't know what it is but I've been thinking about retirement all week! Maybe I just need a nice vacation. There must be plenty of nurses here thinking about their very distant retirement as well. Slightly depressing but also nice to start planni...

My thought is maybe as a "Health Aide". My kids school district hires them. They usually work in the school nurse/health office. Minimum requirements for the job is CPR and First Aide certified. They're the nurses helping hand around the office.

So today I left work and was on my way to meet hubby and kiddo to run errands. I was about 5 minutes away when I get a call from him saying they've been in a car accident! "We're ok though". I arrive on scene, police had just gotten there as well. I...

New York here... MA's teach MA classes. Most postings require you to have your certification and at least 5 years experience with preferably an associates degree (usually not specified in what). Nurses teach CNA classes.

Yes! I forgot to thank him for advocating for us since we're all working in trash and remaining silent, holding our bladders in our hands and crying in the broom closet, only to collect that lousy wage!!

This feels like one of those trickery/bait/rant/terrorize threads..... Where the OP makes some "well known" statement that no one else has experienced. Then when you reply with nope sorry no call/happy with job/career mobility/return on investment...

Well someone is unhappy about their career choice. Sorry to see that. But I may just be reading between the lines......

Thanks everybody for the opinions. There were so many things that went though my mind at the time and still thinking about what the possibilities could've been. At first I felt silly. I thought yea why shouldn't I be able to handle this? But truth...

Yes! This! I did think this as well because worse case scenario if something happened to my child I would want insurance to know he WAS evaluated at the scene! Thanks 😉

Don't know what this means but somehow I'm interested in whatever the story is!!!!

Keep the fuel efficient car while in school. With all the driving back and forth plus clinical sites you'll be happy you did. Especially idling in traffic on Long Island for what may be more than an hour most days. Get your big kid car when you are a...

Definately have a small crush on Sean. ❤️. I think that might be the only reason I'm watching the show. Not usually a reality tv buff, I actually watched the first episode by accident and got hooked! Pulling for Sean and Davina!

Straight out of a movie this situation......
