Good luck, I hope you don’t have trouble. A lot of well regulated places (like hospitals) actually have to meet age gender and ethnicity quotas to prove non-corrupt non-discrimination in court or audits. I’m also moving, supposedly 60% find jobs before moving and 40% find them after. You’ve made me feel less guilty about wanting to find one after I get there 😂

Just my opinion however, most places want you in between the have some experience but not to much…. They can hire more newer nurses that make far less.
Hospitals I feel you have a better chance of getting your earned pay rate for your experience

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
