   I used the Barkley Review and DRTs (diagnostic reasoning tests), as well as the Leik AGNP Certification Review (3rd ED.). I liked the DRTs because they show you where you need to focus your studies. I...

   1MoreCoffee replied to 1MoreCoffee's topic in General Nursing

   I was referring to people who just show up, and I stand by that assertion. I said I didn't want them on my team. I said they were no more valuable than a new hire, not that they had no value. Why do...

   This is getting a bit tedious. 1. You are referring to an excerpt. In fact, the excerpt you quoted is plainly visible in what I just posted to you, but I include it again, with emphasis. Note the part...

   We do our vacations as you describe in your second example. I am fine with it. I respect the senior nurses, and I have no issue with them getting first pick. The way our schedules work, there is...

   Funny. You wrote it in response to the post below, written by me, that references senior nurses. ? 'I disagree. The concept of seniority is exclusively about longevity. Nobody distinguishes whether or...
