DITTO. Quit being a door matt. You are the child. Not the mother..of the mother. Only she can get her act together. Don't let her bring you down. As far as God goes..God loves you for what you have done...but you can't change her...only she can. God loves her if SHE reaches out. You are not her saviour...she has to do it. Now go reach out to God and focus on you and your family. If she can't do it...it's not your fault. This guilt stuff really gets to me. DONOT FEEL GUILTY. We are individuals, all born that way and the choices we make is what we should own. It's our own fault and not the fault of others!

90 minute infusion would be the fastest I would deliver it.

Worked both types of facilities. I prefer the non-profit. The profit hospitals I worked for never gave us a dime and one of them grossed over 15 million profit. Some new equipment would have been nice. Of course the non-profit are tight on OT. Patient care is better in the non-profit.

almost a ditto

2 weeks after my 18th b-day was my first son by c-section after many hours of labor. 2 more sons by c-section. glad I didn't wait. Now I can enjoy my grandchildren at a young age.

Hi and welcome to allnurses. I am sorry, I can't help with info on NY but I say go to college and get a BSN...not trade school.

What about Palos? The administrator is a pretty good guy, I sort of grew up with him. I know he'd like to get the nursing department staffed well. He keeps trying to recruit me...no way, cause I won't move back, been gone too long. Had my son there 24 yrs ago..I thought it was a pretty good hospital.

Welcome to allnurses! Use your PPE...It is for your protection. I'm sure you will get the feedback you need. Good luck in your new career!

Exactly...for Nevada too. And you'll have to pass the drug tests both urine and hair.

lol...the barbeque was a new twist...try it...

Just a thought Tweety.... We pack up a plate of the goodies and pass them around to friends and family that don't cook. That's why we cook so much. The boys eat it but we have to feed the world here.LOL Barbeque turkey is a good option too, or freezing it. I'm full of that turkey...back to salads till christmas. Just got to watch the taste testing of those cookies....we make baskets of those too. Ok, to the gym!

I'm working. Part of the territory. It works out for us since I work nights and my family is older now. We did have to turn down traveling to participate in holidays with the rest of the family, but over the years we have had an alternate schedule for holidays. It works out pretty good. Holidays and weekends are the best days to work, in my opinion.

Ah, you got me pegged.....I am a nut. Class clown...my brain is full. Nurses just wanna have fun. Is that criminal? Come on back to chat, with us nuts...We'll help ya unwind and maybe learn something. LOL I'm soooo crazy...and nuts too. And I like it that way!

My input...DO NOT BE A NURSE IN LAS VEGAS!!!!!! Been there, done that....there are other states much more suited for nursing and for grad and experienced nurses.....Will NEVER renew my license there...just my opinion... If you really want to try it...get your experience in a hospital somewhere else then do some travel nursing there...when you've had enough...GET OUT! Vegas burns you out if your a nurse!

welcome and thanks for your post. i too have resigned from hostile environments. i found the or, to be uncomfortable in my nursing rotation. but, the hostility continues in other nursing settings as well. i just do not do well in hostile situations and opt out vs hanging in. i have found this to be the best option for me. monster.com is a helpful site for working up a resume and getting in a environment much more suited for optimal pt care. good luck!:)
