I've had the same problem. I have had a New Mexico license for a long time and actually walked into the board of nursing, got a receipt for my renewal and was told that they only post online for renewals. No longer do they send you anything through...

Oh my gosh! You are an amazing young woman and you have done more than I have done in 25 years of nursing in America. God bless you and may you continue to help all of those mothers and babies in the years to come!
If you google around long enough, you will see the the CEO of Kalispell Hospital has a salary of almost half a million dollars a year. Does that answer your question? She makes more than most of the doctors. A lot of the admin that is on staff is ...
I would say, "I'll leave you alone, but I'd like to grab my lunch and try to find a place to sit down and eat.....space is tight and my lunchbreak time is ticking".

I think perhaps we should also remember that if it were not for our patients, we wouldn't have a job. I also think that some of you might feel somewhat different if you ended up being the patient in the ER. Sometimes, it is only a "gut feeling" of ...
rosieseattle replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing
Go to work when you're ill and think that you'll be able to leave early if you get really sick. Never put your job before your faith/family. Never connect a contaminted IV tubing connector to the patient. Never think you're indespensible. Never take ...
If you have to work with her, and you have to keep your job, try saying this the next time she yells: "It does not matter who you think you are, but nothing warrants you verbally abusing me". Then, tell her to "stop it immediately". Say that over a...

One thing you might learn first and foremost in nursing is that your value does not revolve around being overweight, unkept or with a child from a loser. That may be your circumstances at this time, but that is not WHO YOU ARE. Comparing yourself t...
