@TRAVEL.RN,
Is there a set dollar percentage that the recruiter can take from contracts offered by a hospital? I ask this because I recently saw the exact same job at two different agencies, and one agency offered $420 more weekly salary. The s...

Thanks for the advice. I've been giving flu shots and other immunizations for a few years, and just learned something new. Also, we get yearly training for flu clinics.
I wonder if the pharmacists and firefighters that are administering vaccinat...
Hi Cwiema, Praying everything WILL work out for your favor!! Please don't be sad and remember that your dad and many others have been successful with a role change. You'll still get to help others and be of great service in your next position. Many...

Hey Kat, Many congrats to you and your sobriety! I'm someone who became a nurse at an older age and I've learned the HARD way that med-surg is not for some of us 40+ year olds.... unless you're a charge nurse. I used to think people with substance ab...

Is it ethical or even legal for me to kindly suggest to a client that she start using adult diaper-underwear (aka Depends, Poise, etc.)? I'm going to be brief because I don't want to be recognized by any coworkers, should I give all the details. Wh...
Hi ST1959, Hope you find a new and better position soon! Also, my prayers go out to your father and to you, as his caregiver. I'm also dealing with a bully MSW (social worker) at my new job. I've been there less than two months, and there is drama, ...
Smile when you give your responses. :) Phone interviews can be harder than face-to-face encounters sometimes. It's the first step in the screening process. You have to pass it, in order to get to the hiring manager or panel. I've had some that are le...
