Your passion will shine through! Best wishes to you, and as you grow in your career, NP might be a possibility, you never know! Women choose male OB GYN physicians, I'm sure working with a male...
My two cents, you should never be asked to hang chemo as a non-certified nurse (chemo certification is a long class). Two certified nurses are supposed to hang and check chemo agents. However, some...
I have to agree with Ned (as usual!) I am on my second assignment, my first was short term so the agency set me up with extended stay, which was fine, but for this one I toyed with the idea of finding...
Sadly, I'm a crafter. Sewing machine, Cricut, tons of paper, stamps, ink. Too expensive to buy each time, but hard on the body lugging this stuff up to my second floor apartment! That being said,...
NedRN, I think I'm finally getting the hang of looking at the ENTIRE compensation package to gauge how I'm doing. I've become more than satisfied with my hourly rate and benefits after understanding...

I did! I'm still trying to find time to get a few more posts in! Maybe one more after this? Yesterday was orientation, so maybe now I'll get my schedule. Stay tuned for a PM

Thanks so much! I'm a photographer in my "spare time" and I'm looking forward to this assignment, my second, as it's longer and will give me more time to settle into a place and begin my blog again....

Did you post a link to your blog? I'd love to take a look, but can't find where it is? I have a facebook friend in Hawaii, and his photos quite often. Make my day! It's so uniquely beautiful

I logged on to ask this exact same question! I'm a Pinterest/Netflix addict, so I know I'll end up paying...thanks for the great advice and many options! I'm looking into those antenna things

Ha! I'm currently hanging with my sister in Texas, I'm between assignments, so I'm acclimating to the heat and humidity for sure! I've been through town a few times and am very excited about the...
Not necessarily on topic, but I have found that teaching hospitals place more restrictions on nursing practice and focus on the students, residents and interns. Not necessarily a bad thing, but...

I agree, the individual hospital probably sets their policy and some just want the AWHONN class. You don't have to take the certification for some systems, just have either Intermediate or Advanced...
My daughter was a 36 weeker and needed an overnight stay in NICU for a little O2. She graduated to the regular nursery and went home the day after I did. THAT was a rough night, I'll tell you!!...

I've read several bits of advice here about trying craigslist for housing. You could try a search on that and read the great experiences people have had. I'm sure it's much more of a challenge in a...
Hi all! I'm an RN with nine years experience on my FIRST travel assignment! It's a short assignment that my recruiter thought would get extended, so she didn't seem very motivated to find me a new...

Thanks for that! I will let my first recruiter know tomorrow. I realize that I haven't been doing any bargaining at all, I'm just taking what is offered if it sounds reasonable. I really need to...
