  1. Float pool in Missouri hospitals

    Different hospitals do different things. I was wondering if anyone who works in their hospital's float pool or knows someone who does can chime in on this one. How does your float pool work? What is starting pay? Can you work as many hours as you wan...
  2. Did I already screw up my nursing career?

    I admit that I almost job hopped myself out of my nursing career because of my anxiety. My suggestion is to definitely analyze why you left that last job. Was there something else you could have done? Be brutally honest with yourself because you don'...

  6. How to be successful with mental illness

    appreciate both your comments and I have to say that although I'm sorry you guys have been in the same situation, it feels good to know that some people understand because they've been through it. My most recent fail, I wish I didnt have to put it...
  7. How to be successful with mental illness

    I've also considered volunteering at our free clinic here, which is affiliated with one of the two major hospitals in my city, but I have a 2 year old and I cant afford to pay for babysitting for a free gig.
  8. How to be successful with mental illness

    I'm 42. I still have at least 20-30 years left before I'd want to retire. As much as I'd like to use that reason, I don't think 2 months is long enough to decide that I didn't have the opportunity to grow professionally. I'm in the process of workin...

  11. Any nurses with mental illness?

    I have Bipolar 2 and anxiety. As a new nurse, I tried acute care on a cardiac unit, looked into the nursing home, and psychiatric nursing in an inpatient facility. Personally, you have to look at your career from a more holistic view. It's not the ty...
  12. Does your state require mental health reporting?

    Georgia does ask the question. It is worded: "Do you currently possess any condition which may in any way impair your ability to practice or otherwise alter your behavior as it relates to the practice of nursing?"

    Uhmmitsrach, What is the first week like? I think I might have read there is a math test in the first week of every semester. I've been reading the syllabus and it talks about doing assigned readings and activities before class and lab. Is there anyt...

  21. Crossroads of Giving Up and Picking Another Degree.

    Then I would definitely urge you to go the community college route- cheap tuition = less loans....if you decide to go for nursing. Sounds like a really tough decision. Especially since getting in a nursing program is only the start of an uphill battl...

    Since you rent and don't have children, you can look into getting a smaller place. I'm a single parent and live off of one income and have the smallest size apartment I can have with a family of 4. I don't completely know your situation but rent is u...

    I'm curious as to where you are exactly, since you said you'd be willing to go to Orlando. Do you have children? DO you rent or own? I'm just trying to get a clearer picture of your situation. I know in St. Petersburg, at SPC, there are hospital expa...
