    guest769224 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not sure it's that much more common. My state has LTC paying about $5 more per hour than the hospitals shell out. They can afford to keep wages low as there are so many in line to accept an acute...

    guest769224 replied to JMosby4's topic in General Students

    I would reconsider. You may be able to swing it, but either your sanity, grades, or sleep patterns will take a hit. Go part time, or change school hours if

  9. So I just failed out of Nursing School, is there hope after?

    guest769224 replied to Marvarapper's topic in General Students

  11. How do I tell my boss I want to change from full to part-time?

    guest769224 replied to nurset4835's topic in Medical-Surgical

  14. Relocation to a family friendly livable city with warm climate

    guest769224 replied to wasup's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest Arizona. Nursing wages are fair and it is almost always warm and sunny, If phoenix is too hot, check out flagstaff. Gorgeous areas. Not a far drive from the ocean and theme

  17. Extension dilemma

    guest769224 replied to perfexion's topic in Travel

  20. CNA jobs

    guest769224 replied to donaldalondra's topic in General Nursing

    I think you'll need to work your way up the ladder. I did 2 months in LTC before jumping on at the hospital. I don't think hospitals hire w/o previous exp typically, but couldn't hurt to apply! My...

  21. Random question.

    guest769224 replied to katierobin23's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    guest769224 replied to JustForToday's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
