   Relocating

   hope3456 replied to NICUMomma's topic in Colorado

   I left Fort Collins 8 years ago for better job opportunities. In general Larimer county is a fairly choice place to live/work and it can be competitive - be prepared to expand your job search to surrounding locales (cheyenne, greeley, denver). An...

   Wyoming State Hospital

   hope3456 replied to CAnurse07's topic in Wyoming

   Not sure about WSH but the other state facility - Wyoming Life Resource Center in Lander - is extensively advertising all over the region for nurses (and other positions) right now. Avoid them at all costs. I'll bet they have had over 100% turnove...

   Wife is an RN, Can't find job in Las Vegas

   hope3456 replied to tschaefer's topic in Nevada

   Do yourself a favor and get a year of experience in MN before trying to relocate to LV. It could be very difficult for you to get into a hospital job as a new grad especially since you don't have the "local" advantage of having done clinicals there,...

   Can anyone speak of the market conditions for nurses in the southern part of the state - specifically St George? Are they any different than SLC?

   Paper charting in acute care

   hope3456 replied to sjalv's topic in Nursing

   Rocking in the same boat, friend. I work in a facility that still uses paper MARS and an outdated computer program for charting. I can't believe it's still legal.

   How do Nurses find trusted, flexible childcare for shift work?

   hope3456 replied to Autymn's topic in Nursing

   Nothing like reviving a 3 year old thread but I'm really struggling with finding childcare for 9 and 5 year olds and wondering about how to get them into extracurricular activities when I do not have a set schedule.

   "To BSN or Not to BSN That is the question." Should BSN be minimal requirement?

   hope3456 replied to nurseactivist's topic in ADN/BSN

   If given the opportunity to gain the right experience they can be prepared for about anything. RNs and BSNs run into the same problem - it's not all about education.

    "To BSN or Not to BSN That is the question." Should BSN be minimal requirement?

    hope3456 replied to nurseactivist's topic in ADN/BSN

    My employer could care less if I have a BSN. My manager does not have hers. I think it will depend a lot on your geographic location as to what employers requirements will be, as has been stated before in this thread. Educational "requirements" a...

    hope3456 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Headlines

    I live in a rural area...we have 2 obgyn docs that are quite obviously the " leftovers" that probably wouldn't make it anywhere they had competition. There is also a NP who does women's health visits. I just called to get an appt for my annual. The...

    Nursing shortage???

    hope3456 replied to MatrixRn's topic in Headlines

    I live in a rural "shortage" area and am seeing evidence that is not necessary the case anymore. There are 2 RNs resigning this month from my unit and they were able to replace them immediately - as well as hire a float to cover vacations. However ...
