  1. Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

    There is no reason that I can see that a nurse can't make a decent living and still care for their patients.
  2. Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

    Maybe some day nurses will be valued as much as a $25 000,000 NBA player....maybe we need agents to negociate our salaries for us?
  3. Pass NCLEX recently without Kaplan?

    Like so many others, I walked out of the NCLEX exam not knowing whether I had passed or failed. I was provided a Kaplan NCLEX study thing by my new employer, but got so busy I didn't have time to study it before my test date rolled around. After the ...
  4. Xray tech~ more $$$ than RN???

  10. Please explain to me why people think this is weird?

    __________________ "...the character of the nurse is as important as the knowledge she possesses." I like the thought, but as a male nurse, the "she"thing sounds a bit prejudiced
  11. Taking a child off life support

    Sounds alot like my medical ethics class I had. There are just no easy answers.
  12. NOW does the public understand?

    Just refuse to take crap off of anyone! I had a Dr.go off on me when I called him at 11pm one night to get clarify one of his poorly written orders. When I let him have a piece of my mind about his attitude, I could sense his jaw dropping open on his...
