  2. Just want to vent about SELU SON program

    Gottago replied to StudentNursePedrito's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    If this is the same Dolores, I also had class with you many, many moons ago. We were in the first semester of nursing together, if you had X for the first nursing comp lab. If this is you,...

  3. Gas Chamber - Asthma

    Gottago posted a topic in Government, Military

    After reading the thread about the gas chamber, I think I understand why the military does not allow people with asthma to join. Seems like if you have asthma, going into the gas chamber could be...

  7. Gas Chamber - Asthma

    Gottago replied to Gottago's topic in Government, Military

    You made an interesting point. I wonder why you would've preferred a test drive? Culture shock? I would think going from civilain to military life would be an adjustment, to say the least....

    Thank you. I've looked into usajobs. I plan to pursue the military, since I feel this is something I want to

  9. Gas Chamber - Asthma

    Gottago replied to Gottago's topic in Government, Military

    Thankfully, I do not use an inhaler. I was diagnosed with asthma after an accident. I believe the test they used as the diagnosis was the methylcholine stress test. I failed. Yet, as of today, I...

    Gottago replied to Gottago's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I think this answers my second question. Thanks. I suppose I'll have to investigate the individual state's residency requirements,

  13. Another Compact State Question

    Gottago replied to Gottago's topic in General Nursing

    How about this twist: What if you live in a non-compact state, but begin work as a travel nurse (traveling, say every 3 to 6 months, back and forth from the compact to the non-compact state)? (Due to...

  15. When do you count ?

    Gottago replied to OR male nurse's topic in Operating Room

    Dude, you're preachin' to the choir. I feel you, my man. It's a tech world where I live, and like you, I'm expected to do the same multi-task stuff. Sometimes I feel like the tail is wagging the...

    Gottago replied to amybradley2006's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I agree. Avoid the East Baton Rouge Parish Public School system. Zachary, just north of Baton Rouge, has traditionally had a good school program, and it, along with Central, has a "small...

  18. Anyone with OR travel nurse experience?

    Gottago replied to Gottago's topic in Travel

    Again, thanks for the reply. I've read that ER, ICU, and OR are areas which are most often in demand for travel nurses. Do you find this to be true? My facility does not offer neuro, but all the...

    Initially, I didn't have any specific questions in mind. I was just trying to get a general feel for OR travel nursing. This is the first time I have come across a thread saying five years experience...

    Gottago replied to bikerbabechic69's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    If you could move down to the Baton Rouge area, then the diploma program at the Baton Rouge General Hospital could be a possible option. I think its a 2 year RN program. Then, you could work as an...

    Gottago replied to Gottago's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Why the high turnover? I almost went to work for Pitt, and was thinking I made the wrong choice in deciding to work elsewhere. What are the high turnover units? I've heard ER is a high turnover...
