Not hardly....esp. if you are around patients with chronic illness and immunosupressed patients...and you have a temp! I would send you home if you came to my unit....and be rather straight and upset...

The job outlook for both of them is very good, exp. if health care "reform" if that is what that bill is....passes. The difference is if you want an office based practice, or a hospital based...

I strongly disagree with the other person who posted and gave you a long list of possibilities. She did not hear that you do not like "social interaction." My advise, stay out of nursing. The core of...

Say it was not a good fit. Leave it at that and say no more. When you say it, in an interview, look them in the eye. Do not elaborate....no story, no justification, no whining, and whatever you do,...

You have a BA degree...look for a BSN "second degree" school. Do not do the "hopscotch" from LPN to ADN, to BSN. There are a zillion second-degree BSN programs now. Sounds like you are taking the...

Hi, I work with some of my advisee students on this and I wrote a little booklet on it that I would be glad to mail to you if you will send me your address. Some of what you are writing is the...

Hi, you just say you took a "leave" and you stop at that. They cannot by law ask you alot of questions. Just make sure you do not get real wordy and say more than you want. It is no one's business....

It is about adjusting....little tips to get ready and to recover. Some people never like it...but again if you want me to send you the handout, send me your e-mail address. Either way....good...

Anyone who has been an L&D nurse for any length of time has done an inaccurate cervical check. I would shame on the nurse who berated you....we need L&D nurses and learning cervical checks takes...

I am a nurse midwife and three years ago did a stint as an L&D nurse. I think doula's are incredible...and I recommended one to a fellow faculty member who is pregnant. I agree with the person that...
