    i don't know whose end you're referring to but it draws no conclusion for me. i think that's an unfair statement.

    i was really curious, is it ever enforced? so i looked on my state website to see if anyone has actually been prosecuted for using the title nurse. this is what i found. it is public record for all to see but i still have removed their city of reside...

  4. Are there any nurses who actually enjoy their jobs?

    i currently have 2 jobs and i enjoy them both. i work 60 hours a week because my husband is out of work and he has $16,000 worth of medical bills that are not covered by insurance. 60 hours won't cover everything but it's what i have to do. luckily i...
  5. under the influence at work/sleeping on the job

    i think once you've made your concerns known to both her director and hr then there's nothing more that you can do. since neither seemed concerned i'm sure that they know more about her condition and the needs for the meds. her doctor obviously know...
  6. what to do if...

    i believe it's against the tos for any member to offer any type of legal advice. i can tell you it's not unusual for the nurses involved to be put on suspension until the issue is resolved. it doesn't imply that one or the other or both is guilty. i...

    if a nurse has obtained a doctors degree whether it be in nursing, nursing management or as a dnp, that nurse has every right to use that title in a clinical setting, as does a pt, an rd, etc... misrepresenting themselves as a medical doctor is what ...

  10. Ankle Sprain Need Advice

    it would be best to wait and see what your doctor has to say about it. besides you'll surely need a note from him anyway. i hope it feels better soon.
  11. I have a question to ask.......

    med/surg is the best experience you can get. once you have a year or more of med/surg under your belt the world of nursing is yours. i absolutely loved med/surg for years....then i got to the point where i just could not do it one more day. it wasn't...
