  1. 61 With No Current Nursing Experience

    2Ask replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    There are volunteer opportunities for nurses. I've volunteered at a church run clinic for underserved. Just brainstorming but perhaps you would qualify for work at a county health dept giving...

  2. 61 With No Current Nursing Experience

    2Ask replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I don't recall having to provide past salary and I don't think it is legally obligated: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/ask-the-headhunter/ask-the-headhunter-never-ever The past several jobs, the...

  3. Am I Too Old?

    2Ask replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Depends who the hiring manager is. I recently transitioned to a new state in my late 50's with 7 years as an RN and the managers half my age were dead end interviews. I had great rapport with the...

  5. Did I do the right thing in this code situation?

    2Ask replied to Nurse162's topic in General Nursing

    PS If you have not gotten your ACLS certification, I recommend it. Going into depth studying and practicing the algorithms and doing a refresh of skills every two years will build your knowledge and...

  6. Did I do the right thing in this code situation?

    2Ask replied to Nurse162's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you did what you were supposed to do and you need some debriefing with others who were there. Your patient coming out with a heartbeat, breathing, and talking is a GOOD OUTCOME. Don't beat...

  7. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    2Ask replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    I read the first few paragraphs which were all that showed up and it was about ABORTION and ASSISTED SUICIDE.. But really? You really want every healthcare worker who cannot do this or participate in...

  8. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    2Ask replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    I find this ironic considering the thread is about concience exceptions and some "medicine" is barbaric: https://www.mrctv.org/videos/warning-graphic-partial-birth-abortion-filmed Do those of you...

  9. California BRN question

    2Ask replied to daygo's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think California BRN looks too hard if you have been a practicing RN for awhile (but it is slow). I was all worried because my nursing program back in 2012 did not require micro so I didn't...

  10. Exhausted; I want a way out.

    2Ask replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    So fostering or adopting is not a good option, then. As far as having your own, bear in mind that their father is also a role model to them. If he role models disrespect and abuse, the children may...

  11. Exhausted; I want a way out.

    2Ask replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Not to get in the middle of this conflict but I see the same red flags that NurseBlaq sees. It is not conjecture. It is based on kalypsored's own observations about her husband: IMO ^ is a cruel...

  12. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    2Ask replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    Without researching this I'm guessing it means that if I believe abortion and assisted suicide are wrong, then I won't lose my job or be punished if I refuse a nursing assignment where I would be a...

    2Ask replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    And he is free to take it or leave it. I've found that 18 year old children have a mind of their own- some more than others. My 19 yos is more likely to do the opposite of any "advise" I give so I...

  15. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    2Ask replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I really liked your idea of doctors and nurses OWNING a hospital. It is visionary. You have mentioned that primary care docs in Florida are dissatisfied with their income, as are nurses. Florida might...

  16. Soon to be new grad, getting job out of state in San Diego, CA

    2Ask replied to puplover18's topic in General Nursing

    Get some nursing experience and certifications (eg PCCN). Then you will be competitive for a job in SD. If you avoid job hopping that will also help your prospects (there are SD hospitals who will...

  17. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    2Ask replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    At 15K you are still saving at least 60K (and much more compared to private school tuition). And 15K will be easy to cash-flow out of 180K income. Hopefully your son can live his own life and make his...

    2Ask replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    You can't do it without her and she doesn't want to do it. You sound frustrated by that but it is the reality. Based on what you have said about her, she sounds like she is sensible and makes smart...

  19. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    2Ask replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    If your son is a good student and graduates high school in Florida, he should qualify for Bright Futures which means he can go to a state school tuition free if I am not mistaken. With 180K income,...

    Action- lay down my dream of Hawaii because it is disruptive to my family and my SO does not want to do it. Stop saying "I love you" while trying to argue and armtwist SO into my plan for her life....

  21. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    2Ask replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    Does she have insurance? Couples counseling might help you to hear her. I bet she wasn't on board with you going into all that debt either... She is a smart and savvy woman. You would do much better...

  22. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    2Ask replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    OK and she is happy, settled, and successful in FL so if you make 80K you pay half the rent and expenses and put every other nickel to debt. And why might that be? IMO It comes across controlling...

  23. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    2Ask replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    She's by the ocean where she can swim NOW. She makes 180K NOW. Hawaii is far FAR more expensive. Her child lives in Florida and maybe will be in college there. She is rooted there - family? Friends,...

    2Ask replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    Myo, Do you think your partner would be willing to read the thread and comment? Unlike some others, I can see you two staying together- there's a long history with her, apparently she is very tolerant...

    2Ask replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    Puerto Rico is part of the US- it is a "commonwealth". Pretty much everyone speaks at least some English as it is a school requirement from Elementary school on. I would not suggest working in PR. I...
