  2. How do you like case management nursing?

    I like case management. It is still very stressful, but I no longer worry about possibly making a mistake that could cost a patient his or her life. I have learned a lot about insurance issues/length...
  3. After numerous applications, a nurse recruiter contacted me to set up a phone interview. We set it up for a particular day/time/phone number. The day before I researched the company.... then on the...
  4. Is Hospice nursing "easier"?

    Thanks.
  8. Looking for an employer that offers good health insurance

    I'd like a plan that pays for most of a doctor visit when I"m sick. I don't mind a copay.... just not a multi-thousand dollar deductible! I'm more than willing to stay within a network. I just want...

    Another thought: would you have time to take a PRN hospice position to see if you like it, while maintaining your regular job for awhile, just in case you don't like it? A lot of hospice inpatient...
  11. need input, want to start Hospice Nursing

    I'd suggest volunteering to get your foot in the door and to see if hospice is something you'd like to try. That is what I did. I asked to volunteer in an area with a lot of patient contact so that I...

    I got a form letter rejection note 1.5 hours after the scheduled interview.... I guess that is why they did not keep the interview. But, geez, is that rude, or

    Hang in there! You are not alone. I feel like I could have written the same post (with a few different details). The job market is tough out there. It sounds like you are working hard. Something is...

  19. Former Teachers turned Nurses?

    I have never been a teacher, but, boy, are my hours AWFUL as a nurse. Most nursing jobs require lots of weekends (and 12s back to back on the weekend will translate into no time to enjoy your kids on...
  20. Why do you visit allnurses.com?

    I like this website because I can type certifications I don't know about, or just about anything else, in the search bar and threads will pop up explaining the subject. Sometimes the threads are...
