Do you moonlight somewhere other than your FT position?

I was thinking of getting a job somewhere in addition to my FT position in the ER down the road. Several of the nurses I work with do this at a rehab hospital in town and make very good money.

Where do you moonlight? Do you make more than your 'regular' job? How much experience did you have before getting a second position?
A patient is to receive 40mg of furosemide (Lasix) IV now because of evidence of respiratory compromise from pulmonary edema. How should the nurse administer the drug?a. give IV push over no less than 10 minutesb. add the drug to 200ml of fluid over 20 minutesc. give IV push over 2 minutesd. administer over 2 hours in 250 ml of normal salineI have no clue I am a level 1 nursing student. We have not gotten to IV stuff yet but this question is on my at home quiz. I would say D but am not sure at all.

After I worked as a nurse for a year, i began working a perdiem job in addition to my full time job . . first i did it with an agency, but after realizing i did not like the agency, I took a per diem position with another hospital . . .I used to work there 1x per week but the last 6 months or so i have only done a handful of shifts bec there is not the need like there used to be. I actually make a little less at the per-diem job . . .

I just started a PRN position at a hospital. I make more at that position than I do at my full time job. However, my boss at my full time job just found out about this other job and she is not happy at all.

Quote from LETRNThe answer is C and I'm pretty sure you're on the wrong post

Quote from ayla2004-A less than 4mg a minute

Most people in home health are signed up with more than one agency if they do extended care. That is the only way to stay employed when your primary agency doesn't give a care whether you work or not.
