  1. pending Compact legislation in PA

    Ned, Most nurses in PA do not belong to a union and haven't gained many benefits, if any at all, despite advocacy by the unions. The strike staffing argument has been made for years but I don't see the benefit in PA, so I think that argument is self-...

  7. traveler's conference-live scan for california

    Hi NedRN, Yes, I've read about CA verification, so that is why I'm applying now to AZ, MA, and WA, to avoid that whole waiting on CA mess. NJ has three different checklists to complete for license endorsement, all three being different. I had to con...

    Hi vanurse1022, Thank you for the list! How do you know if the job is day or night shift? How has your housing been? No, I don't work for the VA. Just knew someone who did and he had quite the story to tell. I'm in a Philly hospital right now. You k...

    VAnurse1022, Yes, please e-mail me a list. Thank you! Are you driving to all these destinations? Do you rent a car if you fly? Have a soft spot for our vets, but was hesitant because of the horror stories I've heard about the Philly VA, and of course...

  15. Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    I have to agree with the OP. What drivel and you have to pay for it too! This whole BSN is bs. I have a BA and did that type of stuff many years ago. Sure, it was helpful and interesting 30 years ago. It is insulting, at this age, to pay to produce ...
