LizerRN

Good morning everyone! So I live in a city in South Texas that only has 2 hospitals and a handful of drs offices. I am currently 26 weeks pregnant and am trying to find some options for work after the baby comes. I've been a nurse for 3 years, worked adult med surg, pediatrics, NICU and interventional radiology. Due to my husband's schedule 12 hour days would make child care an issue but I feel like I've hit some dead ends looking for at home positions. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks for your time!

Thank you for the reply I do appreciate it. I was wondering if you knew of any advanced nursing options in radiology? Do they utilize NPs? In the next 12 months I'm looking at getting my CRN but I'm just trying to think long term.

Thank you for the reply and support! I was wondering if there were any other books besides the ARIN Core Curriculum that might be helpful?

Hi there! I worked for the past year on a pediatric med/surg unit (where we also primarily took care of adult med surg pts due to low pedi census). About 3 weeks ago I accepted a position in the radiology department. The RN I took over for was promoted to the nurse manager in our Cath Lab. I'm now the only radiology RN. The hours are great, the on call is a little rough but over all I really like my new position. My biggest question for ya'll is what resources should I have available? What tools can I use to make my job better and in the future train up to 2 more RN's that my Rad director wants to hire on? I've already become a member of the ARIN I'm just looking for any resources now that I'm pretty much on my own and I want to excel at the position I'm in and not just get by as an RN that works in a department no one ever thinks about. Thank in advance! -Liz
