  6. Mean nurses

    I have been a nurse for 25 plus years and worked with handicapped kids before that. And, I am still amazed at nurses who hate people. I have always wanted to ask them, "if you hate people so much, how did you get here? Didn't you know people can be...

  9. Interview Questions?

    Check out career builders, they have a whole section on interview tips with what you should do and/or don't. They even have some pretty funny stories on it, like you shouldn't show up to the interview in your bikini bathing top and short shorts over...
  10. RN Coder/Auditor

    Definitely a great idea. The more skills you have the better you'll do. Understanding billing and coding and being a nurse puts you in a unique position to assist physician offices, especially those who utilize NP's and PA's. The organization call...

    Jobs in Nursing - My Thought Has Always Been ALL THIS FUN, AND A PAYCHECK, TOO? Most people have to pay to get into comedy clubs, buy a minimum amount of drinks, and always run the risk that the comedian won't be that funny. Not for us, It's always ...

  15. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    Hey All, I have thought about this for a very long time and these are just my own thoughts but...Most of us get out of nursing school somewhere between 20-22y/o and then we're thrust into life and death situations. Some of us choose ER, ICU, LTC act...
