Wondering if anyone wears some type of support on their legs. I've been getting some leg cramps in the middle of the night after working and my legs hurt after a couple shifts. If you do, what do you wear and where did you buy them?? TIA

I think a lot of the confusion comes at the end of the shift when we are getting totals. Somehow it always seems to get messed up trying to figure out what the last shift did and how that effects our totals. Just didn't know if there was an easier way.

Please help. I'm recently back working in nursing and am in search of a good flowsheet to use for CBI patients. I'm sure I've seen them in the past but there aren't any where I am working now. If anyone has one that they use at their hospital and don't mind sharing it, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I guess I should have been a little clearer when I said team interview. This is at a hospital for a program that takes nurses that have been out of work for a while and retrains them to work in the hospital. It's the only thing I've found around here like this so I don't want to mess it up. I guess a bunch of different departments interview you and then hopefully someone offers you a job.

Have you ever been on one (at a hospital)? What can I expect, how can I prepare? The thought of a regular interview makes me anxious, but a team, help!

I am considering looking into a job at Hospice, but when I read different posts and can't help crying, I wonder if I'd be able to handle it emotionally. I got into nursing because I love helping people, especially the elderly. Someone suggested Hospice and it sounds very rewarding, but I just don't know if I'm too emotional for the job. Isn't the nurse supposed to be strong for the patient and family, do I need to consider something else?

Countrymom, can you tell me more about Hospice? I've thought about that before, but don't know a lot about it. Is it like home health, what do you do?

I guess it just feels like it's been a long time. I know it will come back pretty quickly, it's just making that first step. Thanks.

Hi. I posted this on the greetings board, but maybe more people will see it here. I have been at home for the past four years with my children and am now ready to get back to work. I started working as an RN in 94 but only worked until my first child was born in 97. In 2000 I went back to work one day a week for just under a year (then we moved and I haven't been back). Now I feel stuck because I feel like I don't have a lot of experience and it's been a while, so I don't know where to start my search. I've worked Telemetry and then the last year I went back was on a Med Surg floor. I was really stressed out on the Med Surg. floor since I was out of work for a little while and only working once a week, it wasn't enough time to get comfortable. Any advice on where to look, anything that wouldn't be really stressful or the best way to get back out there would be greatly appreciated. By the way I'm in Central Florida and wondering about Florida Hospital vs Orlando Regional Medical Center. Anyone work for either or know if one would be better than the other. Sorry so long, thanks for any advice.
