    Is starting off LTC a bad thing?

    NurseBlaq replied to Flashsomefang's topic in General Nursing

    NurseBlaq replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    NurseBlaq replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Indeed. I get having travel nurses during an uptick in the pandemic, but use them too to train your staff nurses. Then when as they get better, you won't need the travel nurses any longer unless you...

    Credentialing

    NurseBlaq replied to futurenp14's topic in Advanced Practice

    IMO, I wouldn't worry about it. If you were honest on the application and they still hired you then they may have an idea it won't be an issue with credentialing. I think when it comes to...

    Credentialing

    NurseBlaq replied to futurenp14's topic in Advanced Practice

    Did the application ask if you were written up, or did it only ask about termination? Also, I'm not understanding the part about being an RN. Is the question that you were written up as an RN but now...

    Massive Shortage of ICU Trained Nurses During COVID-19 Pandemic: The Need for Cross Training

    NurseBlaq replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think instead of furloughing nurses, hospitals should be training them in the ICU or critical care units via a residency program. That way they're getting skills training yet are already employed...

    Which states leads the U.S in mask-wearing

    NurseBlaq replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation
