1. Immigrant Nurses

   againmlg replied to englishhyacinth's topic in General Nursing

   That's not what OP said. And it is interesting that NEWBIE nurses take so much offense to what we older ones have fought so hard to maintain. Seasoned nurses who lived through the mass importation of RN's during the 1980'S then again in the 1990's ...

2. Immigrant Nurses

   againmlg replied to englishhyacinth's topic in General Nursing

   hmmmm like another poster said i too haven't seen a slew of people claiming immigration is the "root" cause of the rn problem. i call bullhockey on your 'root cause' inflammatory claim. no one here says that's the nursing problem's root cause. ...

3. Nursing Conspiracies - Do I Need a Tinfoil Nurse's Cap?

   againmlg replied to KeepClimbing's topic in General Nursing

   ^This! But as someone else said I'm not a student, only an RN who lives with the realities (not conspiracies) of our profession. Also like many here I DO take responsibility for any career choice mistakes I've made...But I try to make things better...

4. BSN but want to take LPN/LVN exam. HELP!

   againmlg replied to quebby224's topic in NCLEX

   Something is fishy about your question and the very odd statement that you "passed' the NCLEX RN application. No one here has treated you unprofessionally as you claim. You say you graduated from school in the Philippines so I suspect you WELL kno...

5. Frustrated, need to vent and need advice...please!

   againmlg replied to danihunter37's topic in Criminal

   Very bad idea. I'm not even sure if TOS allows us to give advise on BON issues. That's how it used to be here on allnurses. Good luck op. With persistence you'll find a nursing job.

6. What is the silliest thing you've heard a nurse say?

   againmlg replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

   Agree with the group who say both orders in your examples were VERY poorly written. The nurse was smart to question the orders. You're not smart to laugh and post about someone's diligence.

7. It's Time for Universal Licensing In all 50 States

   againmlg replied to newgradRN001's topic in General Nursing

   It doesn't matter that you don't care about doctor's and dentists needing licenses in each state. I was using it as an example of HOW professionals are licensed. I guess you're a new nurse and never heard that we already have compact states with mo...

8. It's Time for Universal Licensing In all 50 States

   againmlg replied to newgradRN001's topic in General Nursing

   Do you expect each state you wish to work in to regulate and govern your practice for free. Nothing in life is free. It costs the state money to discipline and regulate nurses. Physicians, Dentists realtors etc need to apply and pay to license in ...

9. NCSBN commercial

   againmlg replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

   Well said. This ad is sad and could prompt unnecessary suspicion.

10. NCSBN commercial

    againmlg replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    This ad is so wrong. I know a good male ED RN with 16 yrs experience who had a spotless record. He had a bogus BON complaint filed against him by a drunk combative patient. (Long story short, this RN held the patient back because he was swinging a...

11. Sleeping on the job

    againmlg replied to mairose15's topic in General Nursing

    Think of the diabetic patient without any access to his meds while the nurse is sleeping or staring at the wall. - Then report her. Call you BON to see if you have to give your name to report her.

    againmlg replied to raebabelvn's topic in Relations

    Agree.

13. How Can Hospitals Afford Not To Hire?

    againmlg replied to European's topic in General Nursing

    finally someone said what i've been thinking. given the over saturation of new nurses.... and the many still trying to get into nursing schools.... i think it will take about 10 years for the employment prospects of nurses to improve. i also don't ...

14. willing to relocate, please recommend a place for nursing jobs

    againmlg replied to NewMac's topic in General Nursing

    Usually you need a social security number to work in the US. As for foreign nurse sponsorship you'll get more specific information on the Philippine forum of this site. Tons of nurses there are looking for ways to become US citizens now that we hav...

15. Just how bad is the job market for experienced Nurses?

    againmlg replied to Noahm's topic in General Nursing

    Best to have a job before moving. Also you must check with the BON and hospitals as to any requirements you (possibly) might have to meet before working in an acute setting in the US. It's easy to keep a state license active and in good standing ...
