   When I graduated I could not find anything in acute care. After applying everywhere I was finally was offered a job in pediatric private duty. It actually paid pretty well and was full time. They are for the most part stable kids/adults so it wasn't ...

   We found a patient smoking marijuana in his bathroom. We had another patient that was found with heroin in her room, went out front and bought it. Apparently you can buy drugs outside our hospital!

   Second interview, same manager

   PediLove2147 replied to PediLove2147's topic in Job Hunt

   Thanks, I do want to clarify this is not a second interview in the traditional sense. I interviewed back in November for a part-time position. It will be the same manager though so I guess it kind of is a second interview. I'll keep you posted. I am ...

    Unemployed New Nurses Would Be Wise To Remember These Equations

    Why Do I Care?

    PediLove2147 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    PediLove2147 replied to PediLove2147's topic in Career

    It is a benefited position, more expensive of course than what I pay as a full-time employee but I could make it work. Ideally I would stay with my current facility as per-diem then I could work there if I can't pick up any shifts past the 24 I am g...
