Interesting...Thanks for posting. Yes, seems like addiction treatment and the problem of relapse is a more complex problem than we thought. Wish we had more answers because someone I love has had a...

That's not what OP said. And it is interesting that NEWBIE nurses take so much offense to what we older ones have fought so hard to maintain. Seasoned nurses who lived through the mass importation...

hmmmm like another poster said i too haven't seen a slew of people claiming immigration is the "root" cause of the rn problem. i call bullhockey on your 'root cause' inflammatory claim. no one...

^This! But as someone else said I'm not a student, only an RN who lives with the realities (not conspiracies) of our profession. Also like many here I DO take responsibility for any career...

From the article: "It also would require special tools to enable maids to clean bathrooms without having to stoop or get down on their hands and knees." "Housekeepers have the highest rate of...

Something is fishy about your question and the very odd statement that you "passed' the NCLEX RN application. No one here has treated you unprofessionally as you claim. You say you graduated...

Very bad idea. I'm not even sure if TOS allows us to give advise on BON issues. That's how it used to be here on allnurses. Good luck op. With persistence you'll find a nursing job.

Exactly. HR will very often google your name and check to see if you have a fb prior to making a hiring decision. The monitoring of fb postings and pics comes in when friends or friends of your fb...

More money for the myriad of nursing school programs in the state and cheap easily abused new grads for hospitals. If the hospitals will even hire them.

Agree with the group who say both orders in your examples were VERY poorly written. The nurse was smart to question the orders. You're not smart to laugh and post about someone's diligence.

It doesn't matter that you don't care about doctor's and dentists needing licenses in each state. I was using it as an example of HOW professionals are licensed. I guess you're a new nurse and...

Do you expect each state you wish to work in to regulate and govern your practice for free. Nothing in life is free. It costs the state money to discipline and regulate nurses. Physicians,...

Well said. This ad is sad and could prompt unnecessary suspicion.

This ad is so wrong. I know a good male ED RN with 16 yrs experience who had a spotless record. He had a bogus BON complaint filed against him by a drunk combative patient. (Long story short, this...

Think of the diabetic patient without any access to his meds while the nurse is sleeping or staring at the wall. - Then report her. Call you BON to see if you have to give your name to report her.

Agree.

finally someone said what i've been thinking. given the over saturation of new nurses.... and the many still trying to get into nursing schools.... i think it will take about 10 years for the...

Usually you need a social security number to work in the US. As for foreign nurse sponsorship you'll get more specific information on the Philippine forum of this site. Tons of nurses there are...

Best to have a job before moving. Also you must check with the BON and hospitals as to any requirements you (possibly) might have to meet before working in an acute setting in the US. It's...

The reason a *Press Release* can be called a lie is because it actually is an *advertisement* made to look like an actual *news* story. The press release is deceptive in that it plays on certain...

Are colleges oversupplying nurses? | MinnEcon | Minnesota Public Radio This is another article that shows the nurse supply far exceeds future job openings. I know several good seasoned RN's...

No it ISN'T right. PA, CO and OH boards of nursing should be ashamed of themselves. Op should just jump some "extra hoops" you say? I sincerely doubt it will be that easy. Colorado's board...

Besides being a useless time suck for the "look at me" ego hungry entitled generation. It's is a fad that's so over. Facebook has a history of repeatedly violating users privacy so why should a...

Personally I've known many highly skilled EXTREMELY competent nurses who DO NOT buy into the "Caring Theory of Nursing" as proposed by Watson.

I know someone who got her license last December and is doing CNA work while looking for an RN position. After graduation she spent 6 months applying for jobs but after living without a paycheck and...
