    Should nurses be forced to wear tracking device at work?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Many places in healthcare do use cameras- mainly outpatient facilities. It's to protect staff and patients alike (avoid he said/she said situations), as well as monitor staff activity. I don't care...

    WSU's DNP in Leadership Innovation VS MHA

    Hoosier_RN replied to ilum3's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If I'm reading you right, I would think the MBA wouldn't be as helpful as the MHA, as the MHA is more focused on healthcare. That's the route I would

    We cannot offer legal advice per TOS. But just the same, it goes case by case basis with state. What another person may have been told yes, you may get rejected and vice versa. Only you can decide if...

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    While I agree that these guys definitely made mistakes, it's happened in many other sources, both right and left leaning. That's why I don't particularly trust any media source fully. They can say...

    From what my mom told me, a female couldn't get a mortgage without a man either. I had multiple credit cards in the late 80s. I just wanted a frame of reference. This young genius and her druggie mom...

    My Coworkers are Driving Me Nuts

    Hoosier_RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    We have a nurse that looks up a patients fb profile to see "what kind of person they are", and gets upset if they don't have one, or has the privacies locked down. This creeps me out, as it's a kin to...

    Wanting to explore dialysis nursing

    Hoosier_RN replied to Kadeeja Darden's topic in Nursing Career

    New Grad Scared to Start in Med-Surg

    Hoosier_RN replied to SuperSassySally's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It depends on your end game/goals. For home health, med surg is the preference, and it is for many jobs, as it covers so many disease processes. But it's not necessary. As far as being busy, ICU can...
