Hi I’m looking to do short work placements in palliative or geriatric nursing which are what my experience is in. Anyone have any ideas where to apply for these jobs? I am a Canadian LPN looking for the opportunity to do some travel for the next year or so in Europe. Excellent references, responsible 51 year old nurse. Open to considering private duty or nursing in a facility. Thanks for any assistance.

Is it better to pay off student loans quickly?

7 Comments

I’m graduating this June and I’m going to have about 30,000 canadian in student loans. I want to pay off my loans as quickly as I can even if it means sharing a room with someone. I’m planning to take at least 50% of my pay check to go into loans. So maybe around 900 a month, which allows me to pay off my loans in about 3 years. I’m normally a saver anyway and I can live cheaply. I would have just enough money left over for rent and living expenses. My rent would only be about 400 dollars. Plus, I have savings right now that would work as my emergency fund. Do you guys think that it’s a good idea and is it worth it financially? My thought is that it would save me on interest even though it would be hard for a few years, but I will be much better off in the long run. Any suggestions?

LPN new grad.wants to know best way to break into travel nursing?

2 Comments

I am a new LPN grad with honors and was wondering if anyone could tell me the best firm or firm that is willing to accept new LPN grads for travel nursing. A lot of the firms that I have contacted thus far are wanting one year experience or more or will only hire RN’s. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW i do have a lot of clinical experience but am still green in quite a few areas but my classwork is excellent and I will be graduating with honors.
I know that to most "getting my feet wet" with a year’s experience may so be the best option but I really feel I am capable of hitting the ground running with my extensive clinical experiences. Taking that into consideration and knowing that there are firms that DO hire new LPN GRADS which of these are the best and do you have any other pointers for me? What I’m weak on I can bone up on and I am very strong on Medpass and most procedures. I am a very quick learner….I am really itching to get out of this area and relocate and travel nursing would be ideal to find my new home!

Are you getting enough calories each day?

Food is by and large the main source of calories for us all, and therefore, if we care about our weight, we should be paying at least some attention to what we eat and how much, as well. The reason being that our body handles calories by storing any excess as body fat.

This procedure is much influenced by our metabolic rate, which in turn is affected by how active we are and our genetics. Some people can eat a lot and yet not easily gain weight while others are not so fortunate. Nonetheless, it still helps to know and be mindful of the calorie content of foods, at least for common ones.

The amount of calories needed per day is also a factor, and finding out how much is an optimal calorie intake for your needs can help you in planning your daily meals better. This calorie intake is not fixed and depends a lot on individual needs.

An athlete may need 3000-4000 calories a day, depending on how intense their training is. It is said that a swimmer like Micheal Phelps needs more than 10,000 calories a day! A normal person would not need more than 1800 calories, but again this is highly subjective.
