   Clipping replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

   I would make it your practice that whenever you have a serious question about medication consult a book/other verified source. I know its not a big deal in this scenario but if you get in the habit of trusting other people and not finding verified s...

4. drug testing in school

   Clipping replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Nursing

   In all my days I have only been drug tested when I applied for a job. Not a single random test otherwise. I do not think that there should be more drug testing unless a problem is noted. It is not very easy to get away with being an addict for ve...

   Clipping replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

   are you serious? I am an RN but both of my brothers and my sister are all physicians. NONE of them take call. All of them make over $450,000/year. None of them were ever married before their current marriage. I don't get why nurses still like t...

   Clipping replied to BluntForceTrauma's topic in General Nursing

   before I read your post I knew it was going to be a family member that had some sort of medical background... alas I was right. What the family member did could very likely have his license taken away if he is in fact a licensed nurse. I would hav...

   Clipping replied to nhovie's topic in General Nursing

   Hiring folks is an inexact science but my motto is that I can or a mentor can teach a "skill". Time management, attitude, interpersonal skills, communication skills and things like that are MUCH harder to teach for the most part and do not have a fa...

12. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Clipping replied to szccdw's topic in ADN/BSN

    There is not a nursing shortage in terms of people who are educated in the field of nursing. There IS a nursing shortage in terms of people practicing. One of these factors is stagnant wages. One way to fix that is to make it mandatory that an RN ...
