Do you want to get paid to travel and at the same time help people in need? If you happen to be a nurse and have wanderlust, travel rn jobs would be perfect for you. You get to travel and still practice your profession!

Most travel nursing job assignments last 13 weeks, but typically range from four weeks to a year. A possibility for an extension to an assignment is likely too, since most nurses grow quite attached to the facility they are assigned to. It is a contractual assignment – meaning your job (and its benefits) is based on a per assignment basis.

A 40-hour work week is considered full time for travelers working eight- or 10-hour shifts. For travelers who work 12-hour shifts, 36-hour work weeks are considered full time. Most travel nurse contracts will guarantee a minimum weekly payment for a full-time schedule. Travel nurse job assignments are offered at small community facilities, as well as at some of the nation’s top-rated hospitals and health care facilities in larger metropolitan areas.

If you are keen on applying, make sure you go through a travel rn agency. There are travel nurse companies like On Assignment Nurse Travel that will help you find a perfect match for a job and a location you would like.

My parents are both senior citizens and one of their benefits is to be entitled to 20% discount on medicines they buy from drug stores. This is such a huge help since it is a known fact that you need more medicines as you get older. With my parents, their maintenance medicines cost almost as much as their monthly pensions from the government, with very little left over for their living expenses. Getting that additional discount will help them have more allowance to spend on other things.

I wish that there would be prescription assistance programss implemented on a national level soon. This way, people of all ages can benefit from discount prescription drugs. Drug companies that provide free or low cost drugs to those that are unable to pay for the medication(s) set up Prescription assistance Programs (PAPs). Major drug companies have PAPs and for this reason, every pharmaceutical manufacturer has a different eligibility and application requirements. An additional note, the drug companies offer these assisted programs voluntary; evidently, the government does not require the companies to provide free medicine. The programs offer and have over 2500 medications to choose from that are offered free and discounted.

The internet has opened so many new doors for people – job opportunities, being able to learn more, communicate with people easier, faster and at more affordable rates and meet people online. There are relationships that have started with an online date that led to stable marriages and happy families. One would still need to practice caution when meeting people, especially for the first time. Here are some safety tips when you meet singles online:

1. Don’t provide your personal information too soon. A lot can be searched about you with just your full name and home phone number. One can easily gain access to your home address, income information, where you work and more.
2. Use a free e-mail account. When signing up for dating web sites, use a free e-mail account like Yahoo or Gmail. Don’t put your full name in the From field – only your first name or something else. This protects you from a person being able to search your normal email address to find out more information about you.
3. Use a cell phone for talking with people you meet online, especially during the early stages. When it’s time to move your communication to the next level (talking on the phone), never give out your home phone number. Either provide a cell phone number, use Skype to communicate, or use an anonymous phone service. It’s just an added protection barrier until you get to know the person better.

There are two kinds of flooring that I think should be just the options to someone’s home, that’s the Hardwood flooring and the carpeted floors. Let’s talk about the wooden floors first because I always love wooden floors. Hardwood floors can be very durable and can last for years and even centuries. Some old houses still have intact hardwood floors when discovered, keeping the colors and shape of the floors in tip top shape. They are also easy to clean and easy to maintain. What I love about it is that woods usually have unique patterns that can accentuate a room of the house. They can be affordable too like the Bruce hardwood floors that are tough and is worth every penny.

From the hardwood floors, the next best alternative is the carpet.
It is very affordable, sometimes even cheaper than wood flooring. But
don’t fret because they are also durable and in great quality. Like the
Shaw carpet or the Books Carpet, they come in many shapes and sizes. You can choose from different designs that will suit your home and style.
They are very easy to install and though they can stain easily, they
also can be cleaned easily. Nowadays there are shampoos that can easily
remove stains. There are advantages and disadvantages of each flooring
but you have the choice and it won’t be very hard because you can see so
many choices at Carpet Express and you will definitely be a happy camper in the comforts of your own home after your purchase.

Christmas is fast approaching and a lot of people I know have not even started their Christmas shopping yet. Many malls have already held sales and I am hoping there will be more in the next few weeks so that I can also catch up on my shopping and hopefully cross out some items in my Christmas list. My indecision over what to get for some people on my list is also making it difficult for me to get started.

For the men, I am thinking of getting men’s sunglasses. However, I am not sure if I can choose good ones which means I would have to ask my husband to get them if I decide to pursue this idea. Likewise for the women, I could get women’s sunglasses. The only problem is buying sunglasses can be difficult since the fit and style are vital in having the perfect sunglasses. I would not want to give items that they will not be able to use in the long run. Also, there might be some specific sunglasses like golf sunglasses or fishing sunglasses that some of them prefer.

There are just so many options that come with buying a single pair of sunglasses that makes it very difficult for me to give them to several people at once. However, I think it will work perfectly for the kids. I’m sure the mommies would also love getting them for their sons and daughters.
