Thanks nursej22 and monz1987. Sounds like important work given the consequences of untreated TB!
Do you mind sharing how you got these jobs? Is it through local county health office?
What's a day-in-the-life of WFH like?
Any insight into any role/job would be very much appreciated!
I am trying to transition from critical care after eight years of high stress, high intensity nursing. Thanks!
Does anyone know how to transition from ICU/ED bedside nursing to a lower stress, more flexible work-from-home (WFH) position?
What is it like to do chart review, utilization management, and other WFH jobs?
Any more insight into working fr...

Old thread but if anyone has updates on current conditions with the Navy Reserves:
- Likelihood of landing chosen base location or at least w/in the same state? (Washington has a quite few bases!)

Signed contract, booked housing, and then come to find out today that my contract pay will be reduced 50% per the hospital! My start date is in two weeks - can they do this?
Do I have any legal grounds to claim my agreed upon pay rate?

Thanks so much for weighing in Ned.
I had previously signed an arbitration agreement so I'm trying to contact lawyers who could help but it's been difficult to find one. Additionally I think my travel company will want me to sign a new contract...
Heart is set on finding an assignment in the PNW this fall! Had no luck this summer, but this time around I'm hoping to find something. Which agencies have assignments in WA and OR? Did you like working for them? Which WA/OR hospitals hire in the ICU...

To those RNs serving in uniform, I have scoured these forms, and the internet at large, and found very few first-hand-experience posts. Would any of you be kind enough to run through what a-day-in-the-life is like as a military nurse? Also, I'd appr...

Pixie, your deployment thread was eye-opening! Thank you so much for posting that. I am thinking of joining. Strong military tradition in my family. I sought service with healthcare, as an EMT then ICU RN, and am thinking more and more of military nu...
I am fortunate to have the choice of starting as a new grad either in the ICU or a Step-down unit at separate hospitals. Some background on each position: ICU position - Community-size hospital in a major city - Mixed ICU/Step-down unit, with 8 and 7...
I know I'm a little late, but I'll be interviewing/shadowing next week for 8E - Neuro ICU. It's my first in-person interview and of course, I'm pretty excited/nervous. Also, I'm from out of state (west coast). While I've done some research, I'd be SU...

Thanks for all of the advice dsb_fam. You weren't exaggerating about parking as it's nearly $600 for the year! Also, I am still looking for the right apartment or house near campus.

They've raised the bar for applicants since you were commissioned. At least they will still accept new grads, but it looks like I'll have better odds waiting until I have at least 1 year of RN experience. Will update this thread when I learn more abo...

Thanks for your input. I spoke with a healthcare recruiter via a chat window from the AF website and was informed that for new grads, a 3.4 GPA is required. Once you have 1 year of RN experience, a 3.0 GPA is sufficient to apply. I tried asking what ...

I am about 13 months from finishing a CCNE accredited BSN program. Interested in any comparisons former or current AF nurses can offer between civilian and AF nursing. I have prior healthcare experience in a hospital setting as a tech and orderly, ha...
