Looks like a hoboglyph.

I did home health for my community health rotation and then my med surg 2 clinical was with a group of us for 1/2 the semester and then a preceptorship for the 2nd half, which was great because I was able to set a goal (carry a full assignment) and I was 1:1 with an experienced RN. A lot of the people in my program preferred to travel up to Dartmouth for their clinicals but I found I had better experiences at the smaller community hospitals.

Edit to say that my med surg one was on a skilled unit in a nursing home.

It was a semester whose clinicals were also split with maternity and unlike med surg 1 & 2 you didn't get to do much in the clinical portion; all I really did was take part in groups on the milieu and attend the team meeting. I also constantly heard that you should do at least one year in med surg before you think of specializing. I have my BSN so maybe it's different but gerontology was with community health clinical for us and pediatrics also had a clinical rotation.

Yup when I worked at Concord Hospital I constantly took care of psych patients

I don't see how they can prevent this, staffing issues have almost 50 beds unable to be utilized at the state psychiatric facility and Hampstead and Brattleboro don't have many beds either. They said in a previous article to utilize travel agencies but both Hampstead, NHH, and the state prison already do. People, especially nurses, do not want to work in psych in favor of other specialties that are more lucrative (such as telemetry, ICU, step-down, maternity, and OR/PACU). We have to pull nurses into psych nursing, it's barely a blip in nursing school and isn't sought after.

They sell at a bunch of local places but I usually get it at Hannaford! https://www.woodshedroast.com/Find-Us_ep_40.html

Woodshed Roasting is delightful and local (Laconia)

$1200 for less than 400 square feet is not affordable.

I see the kindness in it but $1200 a month for 364 Sq ft is hella expensive no matter who you are. That's the cost of my mortgage and escrow on a 1300 Sq ft house.

Yes, I agree the pay is a bit lower. I think they upped their new grad rate to $28. When I left I was making $34 with 7 years experience.

I 2nd the HCA hospitals as ones to avoid

I loved working at Concord Hospital! I was there as an RN for 5 years before moving into education.

It's a bit of a haul but I love La Corona in Rochester, NH followed by Mi Jalisco in Manchester.

I went there and interacted for maybe 30 minutes before walking out because of how rude they were.
