I'm trying to find a travel assignment in a specific area and am having trouble finding anything in my specialty (PICU, NICU and peds cardiac ICU). Should I feel safe trying for some less acute adult ICUs or is that too far out of practice?

I've had success with still working out but my problem is the diet. It's not easy to stick to it with a crazy night shift schedule. Sometimes McDs breakfast just sounds 100x better than that banana you packed for the way home. Hitting the vending machine seems like a good idea at the time but I always regret it when I don't like what the scale has to say. But I'd rather work night shift any day. Regardless. So I feel like the discipline will come to me in time. I'm still getting used to the shift. You can't make that kind of lifestyle change overnight.

I got my Bachelor's about five years ago and my GPA then was a 2.8. I should have my pre-reqs knocked out by the end of the summer with a GPA of around 3.7. I've worked as a pharmacy tech both part time and full time for about 10 years both in the retail and hospital setting. I don't have many volunteer hours but I plan to do some over the summer before I apply. Do I have a good shot?

Awesome. Thanks for the info. When I type NURS 1300 into the bookstore web site to see what books they needed this semester for it, it brought up like 2500 bucks worth of stuff. Is that accurate?

I'll be in the evening/weekend section at metro, too. Does anyone have any clue what the hours will be?
