    perfexion replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    Rats! It seems like all of the people who got their license in 2 months or less did live scan and the people who have been waiting 4+ months did finger cards. I did finger cards so I guess I...

    Job to have more family time

    perfexion replied to Belle2013's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses don't do anything

    perfexion replied to Dtermnd2Bgreat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    perfexion replied to estephb21's topic in Nursing Career

    You could say you're looking for a change. You want to explore other facets of nursing. I transferred from a desk job to a floor job because I hated the people in the office but I never would've said...

    perfexion posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    What's your part time job?

    perfexion replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    Per diem home care is my part time job. I chose it because I thought it would be easy to work around a full time flex schedule but it isn't. I'm at the mercy of my patients and their

    perfexion replied to abudde6's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've worked in OB my whole career and I've never had this issue. I guess it helps that I have my own kids though. l think that would be more of a NICU/Peds problem than OB. You don't get as much one...

    perfexion replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not sure if an RNC-OB is necessary specifically for a career in labor and delivery. For instance if I decide to do L&D in a different hospital, would my MNN certification mean anything? Is...

    Would you like your job more if you were paid more?

    perfexion replied to proud nurse's topic in General Nursing
