This is yet another reason to tell your friends to stay out of nursing.

While you may make more money and have more job opportunities, you'll certainly inherit all that is wrong with health care. Our RT's are CRUISIN' compared to what we go through in 12 hours a day....

Ya' wanna' be a nurse? You passed the test. You want more letters after your name? Become a professional in another field. It's folly to stick on BSN after the RN. There is NOTHING that an ADN can do...

When you're saving money, you won't see snazzy ideas such as these. When you've got OPM (other people's money) from universities, county facilities, and so on, you start to see the paper mill...

Take your breaks before they take your spirit. Insist that "night shift" can handle it. It's a 24 hour job and this mantra that day shift has to do it all is preposterous and shouldn't be fostered. ...

Always a pleasure to work with.

Maybe I'm allergic to, uh, lessee now...um. NON-LATEX PRODUCTS! Yeah! Sue em', get me outta' here!

This ain't news to anyone in healthcare.

If a patient threatens to sue you, stop taking care of them. Their statement constitutes a conflict of interest; they intend to harm you financially despite your efforts to treat them. Another...

I've been fighting to keep my ward clerk and not having them sent home to save a hundred bucks a shift.
