So the wait for a new assignment continues. I heard from my recruiter today, and apparently Oregon has decided that they require a license in hand prior to offering travelers positions. As I currently reside a few thousand miles away from Oregon, that puts me in a bit of a pickle. I'm in the process of getting it, but you know, paperwork. I'll hold out hope that I can still get up to Bend (and also, I am aware of the multitude of inappropriate jokes that can be made regarding this city name) at some point, but we shall see.
I still have an application in to Phoenix and that's currently plan B. If I have to move to Plan C, I'll probably put in for Columbia SC or go back to Texas since that will require zero effort in terms of licensing. If I have to move on to Plan D, you most likely won't hear from me because that means I've moved onto a sailboat and am hitching a ride to the Bahamas or something to spend my days fishing.
I should probably get on this next assignment thing quick though, because as of Saturday I'm homeless again.
Le sigh.

One day I woke up and realized I'm not a baby nurse anymore. I'm not even a young nurse. I'm a real adult who has now been doing this for years, and I'm definitely expected to know what I'm doing at all times. And that's fucking terrifying.

Good blogs gone dormant. Sadface.

HIPAA. Trust and believe, these stories are halfway made-up and halfway made up of lots of other stories. I will protect patient privacy like it's my job. Because it is.
Many of the photos showing mundane things are ones I took. As for memes and other google picture search images, I've been horribly bad at photo crediting - I will be attempting to go back through and properly credit things or remove them if I can't. But rest assured, ain't no real patient pictures up here, folks.
While I appreciate those reading the blog, I don't advertise for any website. I can only be responsible for my own opinion, and thus politely decline any offer to "host a post" or otherwise advertise something not written by me...But thanks anyway!

What about Vegas? I've heard Columbia, SC is really nice. And also, when we drove through SC a guy had a bobble head of a coonhound in a confederate army uniform. So there's that.
I live on the coast of SC and there is nothing to be had here!!! We just moved from Phoenix... and you have your pick of the buffet line out there! Plus amazing weather YEAR ROUND!!! Good luck ;)
Yeah alas I went to nursing school in Columbia and worked as a nurse there. I can tell you a bit about every hospital there (if I didnt work in it, I did clinicals in it). I'd pick Phoenix in a heartbeat. I travel nursed there and had a blast. And the 70 degree weather in January cant be neat!
