2. Becoming a NP

   Jason-ACNP replied to essarge's topic in General Nursing

   Jason-ACNP replied to Medic_Kev's topic in General Nursing

   Posted by mcl4 "job descriptions and responsibilities between a staff RN who has received their education through a two, three or four year nursing program are the same. In the twenty years as an LPN, I've yet to be able to see the difference in nurs...

4. Why do Nurse's wear there degree on there name badges?

   Jason-ACNP replied to Medic_Kev's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with feisty nurse as well. I would like to add that the curriculum of a bachelor's degree is more encompassing and thus I feel these nurses should be recognized if they so choose. Furthermore, it helps to promote nursing as an evolving profe...

   Jason-ACNP replied to Jason-ACNP's topic in Travel

   Thanks Wildtime, I thought the same thing. I thought surely that not everyone takes a six month assignment. She travels with American Mobile..I know excactly what you mean. The funniest part is that her recruiter NEEDS to KNOW RIGHT NOW for an...

8. Have any of you ever taken a six-month Hawaii travel assignment?

   Jason-ACNP posted a topic in Travel

   I was wondering if you could shed some light on the six-month Hawaii assignments for travelers. My girlfriend is very interested in traveling to Hawaii for an assignment, but she is only interested in 13 weeks vs. 26 weeks. Yet, that is the only time...

9. My license on the line, not theirs

   Jason-ACNP replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

   I was wondering if it was me being "weak". Nope...that is you being strong. As a previous post said...you are nothing more than a warm body to these people. Additionally, it's your license and THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN. You are doing the right thing.

    Wow, I'm impressed with the outcome of the initial post. I thought that surely this concept would have been disintegrated by now. I'm glad to know that it hasn't.

    Jason-ACNP replied to Future LPN Sheryl's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, look. I have not the time, the will, nor the desire to argue Yet, I find hilarious the number of LPNs who THINK they have what it takes to be an RN. Everyone wants to be considered a professional, BUT VERY FEW are willing to put forth the...

14. Nat'l Nurses Week(ness)

    Jason-ACNP replied to HotSpam's topic in General Nursing

    I can one-up the embarassing stuff...our management came up with a BRILLIANT scheme to help recognize nurses that receive pt. compliments, and give them a little 'something extra' as a bonus for each compliment rec'd. Hold that gag...it gets worse......

15. Nursing: Profession or Trade???

    Jason-ACNP replied to PeggyOhio's topic in General Nursing
