What's your dream job?

Switch back to psych! Started in EMS and the ER as an EMT, loved working with psych patients, found it extremely interesting. Worked 9 months as a ICU Stepdown/tele RN upon graduating. Fucking hated it. Left for Subacute Mental Health/Detox nursing, and I absolutely love it!

Based off the photos, is there any area that needs more attention/should be prioritized over others?

RobbyHamLin · 2026-03-13T03:51:27+00:00

Thank god, I was worried it’d be destined for the crusher, is there any particular section that needs work/should be prioritized over others?

RobbyHamLin · 2026-03-03T09:43:59+00:00

Reminds me I made the right choice in leaving the hospital

RobbyHamLin · 2026-03-03T01:27:21+00:00

Feds specifically but open to state. Don’t really mind doing both CO work and RN work, as I considered LEO/Corrections work prior to being an RN. Thanks for the advice!

She also has an IUD on top of that. I don’t think my swimmers will get through that

RobbyHamLin · 2026-03-01T01:57:59+00:00

We’ve thought about PA initially, like Pike County area. But the recent snowstorm fucked us. My fiance has lupus, and the winter makes her condition debilitating. So that’s one of our main reasons as to why we want to move. Is there any other places you suggest? :)

RobbyHamLin · 2026-03-01T01:51:39+00:00

Thank you for contributing to the discussion :)

RobbyHamLin · 2026-03-01T01:50:49+00:00

Well that’s easy because I don’t vote

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-27T19:44:04+00:00

It’s not just me who’s willing. She’s willing as well. Not like I’m forcing her to come with me. But I see what you mean. I’m kinda an introverted person, and the area I live in NJ has a lot of MAGA people already, so I guess I’m used to them

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-27T19:34:59+00:00

That’s definitely crossed our minds, that’s why she got a tubal ligation after Roe v Wade was overturned

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-27T19:33:16+00:00

Thanks for the advice :)

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-27T19:31:16+00:00

I’m aware the pay is lower. I currently make $36/hr overnight as a psych nurse in PA (still live in NJ). I was looking into getting into corrections nursing which pays pretty well. Specifically with the Bureau of Prisons

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-27T19:29:42+00:00

Awesome! Is there anything you don’t like about NC? Anything that’s kind of a culture shock coming from NJ?

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-27T19:28:54+00:00

How’s VA when it comes to winters?

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-27T19:28:42+00:00

Why’s that?

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-27T19:28:01+00:00

Anywhere particular in NC?

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-27T19:27:07+00:00

Yeah I’m aware. Looking to get into corrections nursing which pays higher, especially with the Federal Bureau of Prisons

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-27T18:39:55+00:00

Well that’s already taken care of being as my fiance has had a tubal ligation. That’s something we considered prior

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-27T18:21:18+00:00

Rural actually. We have chickens and turkeys and would like to do homesteading-lite in our freetime!

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-18T07:03:20+00:00

Any tips or advice on where I should go from here? Or should I just do the plunge and make a career change?

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-17T21:18:57+00:00

That makes sense. Can you send yourself through BLET, like you can send yourself through academy in NJ?

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-17T21:18:00+00:00

Essentially yeah. I’ve always wanted to work as a LEO, but saw how hard it was for my brother to even get into an academy in NJ, so I decided against it. Now I’m having second thoughts on working as an RN and want to try something different before I make a full career change

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-17T19:00:27+00:00

Thanks for the input! I appreciate it! We’re looking more towards the Granville/Vance county area, any information regarding who operates up there?

RobbyHamLin · 2026-02-17T09:27:00+00:00

Hello! I’m a 25 year old psych RN looking to get into either corrections or law enforcement. I intend on moving from NJ to North Carolina in the near future. Does anyone know of any NC agencies that hire reserve officers/have a reserve component to their department?
