I have played with the idea of traveling for so long. I feel like I just need to go for it and then I will know for sure if its for me. I am originally from Mississippi, but now living in Maine. Maybe a seasonal position would be better for me. Does ...

Anyone out there taken an assignment from NursesRx. I have never traveled before and I am doing my research on each company that offers me a contract. Thank You for any info. -Catherine

check in your text books too on the inside cover, they will give websites with practice questions

It took me two months, I applied a lot of different places near my home in Mississippi, I did not have any experience, I have a BSN and I worked on a med surg/resp. floor.

How much critical care does one need before they can be considered for flight nursing? It seems so exciting..all I have dont thos is med surg so I know I need to get some critical care under my belt.

If you work hard, study hard and keep believing that you will succeed, it will happen. Simple as that. The biggest thing holding you back right now, is not your "average" acedemic profile, its your confidence. YOU CAN DO THIS. I was an average studen...

I didn't work during the last semester, but I did during the rest. and I know a lot of people who had kids and worked. You know, maybe working on a floor part time as a tech would be something to consider.

I haven't heard it, but I feel you. That seems pretty hurtful towards folks who do work as CNAs or with an ADN. No one is better than anyone. point, blank

Hell Yea! like @Nursepreneur said! GO FOR IT

I feel you. I hate to be ugly but it can be soooo frustrating when you have morbidly obese patients in your facility needing to be waited on hand and foot and yet they still are snacking and drinking soda. It's such a fine line to cross..with reimbur...

I feel like a BSN is truly only useful if you want to pursue another degree or MGMT position. I have a BSN and work with A LOT of people who have an ADN and we all make just about the same amount of money and do they same sort of tasks during our shi...

I am curious if being a school nurse is a job that people usually find through word of mouth or do they post them online? I think it would be a good job for me but I am new to the area I live in now and haven't really had any luck asking around. Than...

I want to get my masters, primarily so I can teach. However, everyone tells me I should get my NP but will that still allow me to teach at most Universities. Thank you for any info.

I want to spread some hope to anyone in the same boat or maybe even a worse boat (a denied appeal). I failed two classes in school too, and everyone that I knew who had once apealed got back in. So even though I was extremely upset, I felt like I had...

I know there are a million questions on travel nursing. I have read a lot of people's topics but I want to be able to PM people, so I need to start somewhere and this topic is most interesting to me at this moment. So if anyone would like to share s...

Don't be upset, don't lose sleep and no more smoking! You don't want a trach either!! Love your self and love what you're doing with your life. You are smart or you wouldn't be where you are. You are doing great!

You got this! You just need to accept that. You will never feel like you know everything. You are brand new and all you need to tell your new employer is that you promise to do your best and do no harm. No one expects you to know it all. Just believe...

practice yoga and meditation. Im serious. You can't let work bring you down and when you practice stopping and breathing and being in the moment you drive away stress. Exercising and eating right will keep you happy and strong. Those hrs are hard wor...

I think you are making a wise decision on taking the job. As long as you get some experience, your opitions will only get better. Im sure after you work, the California job will fall into place

Try taking a moment to meditate before your interview. Literally just sit down, close your eyes and think about nothing more than your breath. It's harder than it sounds, but once you give it a try you will see sometimes in order to get your thoughts...

Also none in some rural hospitals in Maine. I work in Maine and we don't have random testing nor did I have to pass one before I was hired. In Portland, ME, where the hospitals are much bigger it may be different. But in the smaller hospitals its not...
