I suggest you take a few undergraduate philosophy classes and at least one ethics course while you are completing your BSN. If your school has a department of religious studies, I suggest taking an...

A recruiter told me this week that there is a drop in posted positions in some places like CA due to the severe budget shortfall ... if the state can't pay medicare/medicaid then the hospitals can't...

Which agencies are best to contact in Wisconsin for per diem work (L&D or PP)? Or can anyone advise me on where to look? The agencies/travel I'm signed with are based in CA and the southwest, not...

There are many midwives with MPH and/or DrPh degrees. Many want to get their MPH after finishing their MSN/CNM. It is a popular credential to have, for both those wanting to work in the US and...

Not only will nursing courses NOT count towards medical school, you need to look carefully at the undergraduate science prereqs you are taking for nursing vs. medical school. There are usually...

The way the OP phrases things, her speech patterns, strike me as a bit odd. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe English isn't her primary language? I suspect the OP has some codependency issues...

The Book of the Dead, the Bardo Thodol, the "liberation through hearing in the intermediate state", is a Tibetan Buddhist funerary text from the Tibetan Buddhist Nyingma tradition, again bringing up...

Hearing is the last sense to go ... when one leaves the body, one does not immediately "disappear" but lingers some time and observes what's going on. The Tibetan Book of the Dead gives an...

Sending you lots of luck! You'll do great!

Don't tell them anything at all about a custody battle or other personal issues. Just say a last minute family obligation came up that could not be rescheduled and leave it at that. Stay very...

TV and the internets ....

You need to find out which companies staff the area you are interested in traveling to. Try calling the hospitals' staffing offices and ask them if they will share with you which companies they use,...

You've made my day. Thank you.

I would like to hear people's comments about being an older NP/CRNA/CNM student. How do faculty, preceptors, and other nurses treat you? Are you respected? Or not? Treated like you're too old to...

I have been honored to meet and work with and care for the most amazing people, and the most amazing variety of people, who I would never have known otherwise. I have learned so much from coworkers...
