I'm not a nurse, but a nutritionist and I did a hospital internship for my career in two different hospitals. One was a pediatric hospital, and the work environment was really great. The other one was a general hospital, and I remember being locked in the kitchen helping with peeling and chopping vegetables all day long while nobody would talk to us, not even the people in charge. I am so grateful it was just an internship! Otherwise, that's a job I would have quit immediately. How about you? Did you ever have a nursing job that was unbearable?

Thoughts on the noncompete ban for healthcare workers?
Karin Zonneveld posted a question in General Questions
It's about time that the noncompete ban legislation came out. It only seems right that nurses and healthcare workers should have the ability to work where they choose to and that there should not be "ownership" over their license. I for one am glad to see the ban on noncompetes. What are your thoughts? -

I’m a Louisiana resident and want to pick up in other states over the summer. I’m a little anxious about making a move and not sure which move to make first. I’d hate to pay for a full month of lodging and drive to another state, and then not be selected to work the shifts. Do facilities have bias when considering approving a shift? Has anyone had this same dilemma and have advice to navigate this? I am contracted with a local agency and I am having difficulties getting shifts. I just don’t want the same problem being away from home.

Hey! I would like input on what states are the easiest to obtain licensure when you have a DUI on your record. I have been sober 5 years now, and travel nursing has always been a dream job for me. (I am not eligible for a compact license, but I CAN apply to states individually!) Does anyone have experience with this or can put me in touch with a resource?!
