  1. Texas nurse moving to New Mexico

    If I remember correctly, Texas licenses are compact, and New Mexico participates. I don't think you need to do anything but apply at the hospital you
  2. RN in SF moving to Seattle. Need advice!!

    I'm in the midst of moving back too, so I feel for you! Feel free to message me if you want more info. I'm happy to
  3. Balancing work and family

    You're my hero. I'm also the worker bee in the our house, and my husband is a soon-to-be stay at home Dad. Plus, I'm crazy enough to go for my MSN this year. So, you make me feel like it's
  4. Changing units - need advice

    I think I need a little more background on what the real problem with your current unit is. Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you concerned about the nurse to patient ratio? Are you
  5. RN in SF moving to Seattle. Need advice!!

    Your specialty will be particularly helpful in Seattle, since it's usually one of the more short-staffed fields. I'm originally from Seattle (did all my nurse training there), and there are a lot of...
  6. The film: Vaxxed.

    I believe as nurses, and part of the medical community, we need to stop calling those who don't agree with vaccination as "insane" or "crazy". I've personally cared for people who have had...

    The whole "Magnet Hospital" and requiring a RN to get a BSN is ridiculous. RN's who hold an ADN are not less safe than those who hold a BSN. In fact, I work with enough of both that from personal...
  9. How in this world do you ever get 1 year experience?

    My facility is hiring right now with pretty descent pay. They'd take you for Med/Surg, Tele, Onco, Ortho, Step Down and CCU. Wanna work in
  10. Lost: Changing Specialties

    I'm basically in the same position. I've been in Med/Surg for a while, even as a charge, and I'm unhappy. The world of nursing has seemed to take a nose-dive in the area of safety all in the name of...
  11. Considering a Move to ED or NICU

    I'm currently a charge nurse with a few years experience on a busy Med/Surg floor. To be honest, I really don't like Med/Surg, but stuck it out because few opportunities for moving to a new specialty...
  12. Ratio + Acuity Controlled Facilities?

    Completely agree. Unless you live in California where ratios are regulated, hospitals can pretty much do as they wish. On my Med/Surg floor I take 7-8 patients and acuity is never taken into account...
  13. Male Nurses in OB

    I'm the same way about male doctors, but you're right... most people feel there is a difference. Never understood that
  14. Male Nurses in OB

    As a nurse, and a female patient, I can say it's 100% about being comfortable for me. While I know a lot of fantastic and compassionate male nurses, I wouldn't want them down in my nether regions...
