  1. Best way to get CEUs and review after being out of work for a while?

    TravelRhythm posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    I was a MS/Tele traveler and took time off working to get my EMT-B, and also travel. While traveling, one thing led to another and… I’m still traveling. I want to jump back into travel...

  2. Am I too optimistic about paying off loans?

    TravelRhythm posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a neurotic planner and I like researching the hell out of things before I commit to them (that's how I switched from physical therapy to nursing, and so glad I did). So I hear a lot, a LOT about...

  3. Am I too optimistic about paying off loans?

    TravelRhythm replied to TravelRhythm's topic in General Nursing

    I was on a pre-PT forum for a while, and did a lot of newbie obnoxious posting about PT schools. I had my heart set on something out of state, regardless of cost- at this point, I was completely...

  4. Am I too optimistic about paying off loans?

    TravelRhythm replied to TravelRhythm's topic in General Nursing

    "Also realize that a "baby nurse" is a specialty. And that more than likely the new grad positions you may find are not specialties." Thank you, this is super helpful! Oh, and by baby nurse I mean a...

  5. Am I too optimistic about paying off loans?

    TravelRhythm replied to TravelRhythm's topic in General Nursing

    You're right, 100k does seem awfully high, that's why I was suspicious about how easy it looked to pay off loans! I don't think I'm going anywhere as a new grad, because I want to stay with my...

  6. Am I too optimistic about paying off loans?

    TravelRhythm replied to TravelRhythm's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I can see how I read that wrong. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to make sure some of the money I make is at least going to books and

  7. Am I too optimistic about paying off loans?

    TravelRhythm replied to TravelRhythm's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate the suggestion. My travel money is for camping in the state above me, and going into in a savings fund for my trip to Israel after I graduate- I'm Jewish. That being said I respectfully...

  8. Am I too optimistic about paying off loans?

    TravelRhythm replied to TravelRhythm's topic in General Nursing

    Awesome yes, I would not have even thought of that! Plan B is staying at the hospital I'll be in and out of through my university in my upper levels until I can secure a job

  9. Nursing program- should I stick with mine or look elsewhere?

    TravelRhythm replied to TravelRhythm's topic in School, College Programs

    I thought capillary osmotic pressure was the pressure in the circulatory system and colloidal osmotic pressure was the pressure in the tissue. Is that

  10. Nursing program- should I stick with mine or look elsewhere?

    TravelRhythm posted a topic in School, College Programs

    I was accepted into my schools program but decided to take an extra year to finish up some classes and work on my minor. I'm going to reapply but I'm having some doubts. I am on scholarship and it...

  11. Nursing program- should I stick with mine or look elsewhere?

    TravelRhythm replied to TravelRhythm's topic in School, College Programs

    Their last one was 72 but the year before it was 93 and the years before that it was in the 80s. I promise I know the difference between a disorganized program and being spoon fed! They are accredited...

  12. Is it still financially worth it to become CRNA?

    TravelRhythm replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Ok, all these posts are making me rethink things. I'm getting my BSN with a minor in chemistry (because I really like chemistry and I'm good at it). I'm looking at about 20k in loans for my undergrad,...

  13. Is living alone in nursing school a bad idea?

    TravelRhythm posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting nursing school next fall and I am considering living alone. Right now I live with 3 other nursing students in this beautiful apartment, and we all get our own bathrooms. But the apartment...

    TravelRhythm replied to TravelRhythm's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks everyone for being so

  15. Do you have limited time after a BSN to apply to CRNA programs?

    TravelRhythm posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    -If you're not a fan of reading, in short: can I wait as long as I want after my BSN to decide on whether I want to be a CRNA or choose a different specialty? - -If you're a fan of reading and could...

  16. Careers that blend nursing and EMT?

    TravelRhythm posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am part of an EMS service to my university campus (I work with EMTs and paramedics, but I'm only CPR certified so I don't do anything outside of my scope). I am applying to nursing school next...

  17. What can I afford as a beginning independent nurse?

    TravelRhythm posted a topic in General Nursing

    The short version if you don't feel like reading: How difficult is it to save 8,000 dollars on a nursing wage if I work in a hospital and have no one to support but myself (and... you know... start...

    TravelRhythm replied to TravelRhythm's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you everyone for being so nice and helpful

  19. why do nurses discourage nursing students?

    TravelRhythm replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see this a lot, and it can GET discouraging because I know a lot of students go into nursing thinking it's some magical world where you wear pajamas and make bank. What I wish I saw more of was some...
