I am a long term experienced hospice RN, CHPN, and thinking about making a change, so want to move to NM, love it there, vacationed there many times, love the state. Currently live in the Midwest. I...
I have been a RN for 11 years now, have seen much as many of you have. One thing that continues to irk me are nurses that think because they are a nurse are somehow a cross between Florence...
- Yes I agree totally, that is what I find revolting about a shirt like that. It sends exact message as you stated. Just another "look at me, I'm so great and such a giver, hold me in AWE" person in...
I hear you, I love my job, can not stand the administrative BS , the ego's that go with it. Thankfully I do home care, hospital and nursing home visits, so once I get my daily assignments, I am out...
Personally I find a shirt that says something like that a bit condescending. "I sacrificed my life to save yours". It implies that you owe the wearer of the shirt something, because after all they...
" It's just that to me the statement implies that the general public owes the T shirt wearer some great debt of gratitude for their selfless act (of becoming a nurse). I'm not clear on what the...
Thanks for all the comments guys, glad to know I am not the only nurse that finds things like that ridiculous. I do like being a nurse and am proud of my profession and what I do, JUST LIKE ANY ONE...

Red Kryptonite Yes we have INPT where I work as well and the whole medicare thing is changing hospice care--not for the better I fear. We really don't have CHC any more, just...
Libbey, Sorry to hear about your Father. Yep and Yep, I always stress to people that it is better to come on hospice sooner rather than later. My mother was on our hospice, she did not want to...
heron, I see your in Albuquerque, that is exactly where I want to move to. Love NM and that area, currently in the mid west. Long story short have been getting things in order to move this summer....

Thanks for you information, I was looking on line at Rio Rancho and yes housing looks very affordable there. How much is your House insurance run you per year? How long does the commute to ABQ...
