6. pros and cons of nurse paralegal jobs

   ninasnr replied to BulkyMonster's topic in Legal

   I'm not working as a LNC, but my question is for example: Where would you find rules/regs for different individual issues? All disciplines follow certain rules that are standard for their discipline. For a nurse, one would look at BON at the scope of...

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

   ninasnr replied to szccdw's topic in ADN/BSN

   I also have found that getting a BSN over an ADN doesn't ensure any 'perks'. Very few places offer a differential for having a BSN, and a lot of places don't offer differentials for having a certification either. If you go for your BSN &/or certi...

14. Hospice: Knowledge and Wisdom Worth Dying For

    ninasnr replied to WaynesvilleRN's topic in General Nursing

    Very touching to get so much from patients. I think alot of us get lost in the 'tasks' of doing our job. I, for one, sometimes wonder what my purpose in nursing is. I often feel as if I don't 'help'. I often feel 'sucked dry'. Pretty much, tired. I w...
