  1. Thinking about pursuing a degree in Forensic Nursing, BUT

    raindrop posted a topic in Forensic

    I don't want to spend 35k on a degree if I'm not going to get a pay raise. Don't misconstrue me, I'm not looking to get rich and my heart is 100 percent in the right place, but it's expensive to go...

    raindrop replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Yes, bitcoins have been very controversial. I bought my first 20 for around 5 bucks each. I've made a lot off of those. I played around around in the Bitcoin stock market and that wasn't so pretty....

  5. Retirement?

    raindrop posted a topic in Travel

    I still have 30-35 years until I can retire. I'm embarrassed to admit that I have not contributed anything towards retirement - no 401k, no Roth, nothing! I've always been more motivated to pay off...

    raindrop posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello, After 16 years of bedside, I'm thinking I may bite the bullet and go for the FNP. It seems to me that everyone and their grandmother are in NP programs these days. Which makes me wonder how...

    I've been with the same company for 2 years and my hourly has always been 10.00/hr with housing M/I being maxed out. My OT rate is always in the 50's and it begins after 36/hrs. I've been shopping...

  10. Need some reassurance

    raindrop replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Thanks again :). You'd think that after 3ish years of consistent traveling I'd have it all down by now. I learn something new about this field

  11. Need some reassurance

    raindrop replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Thanks Ned!! I certainly have had a legitimate tax home the entire time and I have been taking company housing or paying rent at every assignment. I really hope I do not get an audit though. What a...

  12. Relocation Advice?!

    raindrop replied to Spuen's topic in General Nursing

    Ok to be honest, if I had no choice but to work at Memorial or saint johns in spfld, I'd choose memorial. During your interview, make sure you ask about what comitees you can join, department goals....

    raindrop replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

  17. Relocation Advice?!

    raindrop replied to Spuen's topic in General Nursing

    Hopefully I'm not too late. I just want to tell you that I'm from Springfield and I'm very familiar with both hospitals. DO NOT MOVE TO SPFLD!! You are young and the city is extremely lame, there is...
