I got my rejection this morning

The Macy Catheter was just introduced to our office a month ago, I have one in my truck but have not used one yet.

I work every other week/weekend. I come on at 5pm Friday and get off at 8am Monday. Weekends can get very busy as there are always 2-5 scheduled visits, plus the extra things that come up as people call on the weekends. There are three nurses on each weekend which helps, but it stays pretty busy. Where I am I can get called out at any time through the night too, so if I'm called out Sat night, I may get a few hours sleep before getting up Sunday and starting my scheduled visits. I love hospice though.

I applied for this Fall as well. I'm afraid I don't have enough extra-curricular activities like volunteer time and membership organizations. Good luck!

So is MedSurg travel not as bad as I'm imagining? We don't have tele on my unit.

I am almost at 2 years of med/surg experience, but would like to start traveling in another year or so. Med/surg travel scares me because I imagine getting stuck with 7 patients, or put in uncomfortable, low-staffed positions. I would like to go to the OR soon and then travel after a year or so there. I would also enjoy the ICU, but would again get nervous about nurse: patient ratios. What is the best specialty to travel with? I definitely don't want LD or PEDs.
