   Health problems such as HIV, AIDS, TB as a few examples are associated with trafficking....can go undetected due to the clandestine nature of trafficking (Sabella, 2011). "A majority of known domestic (U.S.) victims are children involved in prostitu...

2. Human trafficking

   JuliaRNMSN posted a topic in General Nursing

   I would like to raise awareness of human trafficking by gathering information based on member learning needs. If the forum members want information I could post resource links and share my knowledge from a conference I'll be attending next month. Hu...

   JuliaRNMSN replied to macanes's topic in Disabilities

   I really liked my research classes. Struggled but liked the structure of of the many components. Method, design, all the pieces includ. statistics. I still do problems to keep adding to what I learned in classes. Your research hypothesis is full ...

4. Left horrific SNF job; struggling to find another job. HELP!

   JuliaRNMSN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I liked this article in response to an RN who left a setting unsuitable for her. Advising RN's that leaving a position holds less stigma now than in the past, and re-framing the experience for future interviews was for me brilliant. Thank-you

   JuliaRNMSN replied to thesegotoeleven's topic in General Nursing

   What a mess!! I'd be saying to myself that this will not be the last time management handles an unsafe situation in this manner. The event is a clue to your work life there. I have experienced similar situations where management puts the bottom l...

7. Has anyone else "sensed" when something was wrong with a patient?

   JuliaRNMSN replied to Norepinephrine's topic in Relations

   A nurse theorist a U of Colorado Denver speaks to this. When her name comes to me I'll post it. In nursing I've used it but not when charting. I use to guide my problem solving and support it with facts if possible. If I can't get facts to suppor...

8. I See Lots Of Job Postings, So Why Can't I Find A Nursing Job?

   JuliaRNMSN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Hunt

9. I See Lots Of Job Postings, So Why Can't I Find A Nursing Job?

   JuliaRNMSN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Hunt

   Tedious is right. I started wondering what was going on in 2009. The time it takes to fill out app after app, put keywords in your resume for each job applied for, and the wasted time on calling your references giving them a heads up that they may ...

    A belated thank-you for pointing me to the article I couldn't find

11. "I have an ethical problem"

    JuliaRNMSN replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    How out of the box your thinking is. I mean that as a compliment. I'd probably run the idea by Social Services if there were no other community resources to take homeless folks in. I'd have to feel that I had support from other professionals if the ...

12. Independent nurse with questions

    JuliaRNMSN replied to NatashaW.BSNRN's topic in Entrepreneurs

    I don't have an answer but I have asked myself that same question. My S.O. is in marketing and I try to pick his brain because in my experience sales and marketing were the furthest subjects from my mind. He is a real extrovert and go getter. He i...

15. Am I too old to be an RN.... or should I just stay an LPN?

    JuliaRNMSN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    Age is a number...some people are young even if they are considered "old." I really like the article that I can't find on this site anymore that spoke to: There are many nursing jobs available so why can't I get a job? I felt after reading the art...
