   nyforlove replied to rn2themaxx's topic in Travel

   Yikes--what a disaster floor! Unfortunately, weak middle management--facilitated by a lack of leadership by the CNO--allows such nonsense to go on more frequently than one would think in a business where--after all--LIVES are at stake. Don't know i...

4. What to do after being fired.

   nyforlove replied to lynkay's topic in General Nursing

   You may discuss this with an employment attorney, who can evaluate the situation and discuss possible legal options that may be available. Good luck and keep us posted. Nurses must be able to advocate for patient safety without fear of retaliation....

7. Good Samaritan laws for off duty New Jersey RN's.

   nyforlove replied to mrsinquisitive's topic in General Nursing

   This is a good question for the nurse-attorney who writes a Q-and-A column for "Nurse Spectrum" magazine--I believe her name is Nancy Brent and her column is "Brent's Law." Perhaps you would consider submitting it to her.

10. Job Market/ICU Job Market

    nyforlove replied to bridgfor428's topic in New York

    Yes, I agree with the horrific analysis above; with your 1.5 yrs in StepDown, I highly doubt you'd get an ICU job...not a good time to be entering the NYC job market---sit tight where you are and try to gain some ICU experience there.....

13. Adult Health NP can apply for ACUTE Care Certific. Exam?

    nyforlove replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I read an article in Advance for NPs that about 9% of NPs work in the ICU, but only half of those have the Acute Care Certification---apparently some states have scope of practice for Adult and Family NPs that encompasses critical-care stag...

    nyforlove replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard that many Adult Health NPs are in fact hired by hospitals to work in acute and even critical-care settings AND I have RN experience as a critical-care nurse.....I guess this is part of the ongoing difficulty with poorly-defined scope-of-...
