I would really appreciate any advice from LNC's out there. I completed the Kaplan LNC course a few years ago and never actually used it. I spent some time trying to get my foot in the door to no avail and then got involved in a new job etc etc. I no...

Is there a possibility of doing this as a part time work. I already work full time in a small drs office, but my boss is looking to reduce hours so I would love something that I can do on a part time basis. I like the sound of the reviewing - I have ...

TNNurse, Sorry can't offer much in way of advice but just want you to know you are doing a wonderful thing by following through - so many of us have been in that kind of situation (although not to the point of being fired) where nepotism comes above ...
To all who are thinking of leaving...... I can totally sympathize with you - I have seen plenty of new grads (and not so new nurses) treated like c**p on wards. I have been nursing for 25 years and have even left at one point to go to college to beco...

How about the patients that actually set their cell phones to wake them up every 2 hrs overnight so they can receive their 12mg Dilaudid. (off course they also need the benedryl and reglan to go with it.) Then the patient who was caught having sex w...

:wink2: I also work in a drs office as onc rn, after 20 years on med/onc floors. I love the office as eventually I became a burnt out coping with cancer patients on floor - usually the ones who are seriously ill and do not recover. The office shows y...
