This is up to the employers in your geographic area. I live in a large city and the larger facilities do not hire non-BSN RNs. Same with most Magnet hospitals. If your employer offers tuition reimbursement or something, you might want to consider it ...
I just started researching Transcendental Meditation (TM) and I was wondering if anyone had any insights into TM in general. Also, are there any resources for scholarships for TM training?
You are fine. No one will judge you. Worry less about your overall weight and work on your stamina. My typical day is 12,000 steps in 12 hours. Track you macro nutrients on something like MyFitnessPal. Lower carb is good. 2lbs a week is a lot, althou...
When I feel fearful about leaving a job because I like the people, I remember that the new job will have people, too. Your work friends come with the job and they will come and go from your life.
Be very careful expressing opinions about your co...

Living expenses went up and you are both feeling the pinch. I suggest you work on budgeting together. Is your spouse working full time? Maybe there are ways to increase his salary in their current job? Or maybe look for a better job? Hard to do in yo...
All of my scrubs are dark navy and I wear black shirts underneath. I do wash them after one shift but I run a separate cycle for scrubs and work shirts: "for darks" detergent, cold water, pre-soak, gentle cycle, and warm (not hot) dryer. I usually wa...
Just because discrimination is illegal does not mean it does not happen every day based upon anything that might make the interviewer uncomfortable. Unless the discrimination is overt, like a declarative statement, "We don't hire people with CA hx," ...
