    Hoosier_RN replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And I'm answering as to why people may not trust our govt or its agencies due to a past history of lies of various levels. It's to add to the commentary as to why some may not trust and have...

    Anyone taken a pay cut for sanity?

    Hoosier_RN replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Listen to your heart and gut. They will guide you. Since money isn't a major driving force for survival, write down the pros and cons of each if you truly can't decide. Sometimes it takes seeing it on...

    They can complain to state all they want...the worst thing, in reality, that they can do is not give good feedback on a reference, if you list them. To some companies, the why's (not giving notice)...

    Ageism in Nursing?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Guest1176712's topic in General Nursing

    Some young nurses can't keep up well with the fast pace. They quit and complain about being expected to work. When I was still a clinic manager doing interviews, I had more than 1 young un tell me...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know if salaries would be much higher, but we'd get less persons thinking that they're walking into a cake job with extremely high pay straight out of nursing school (neither of which is...

    I don't know anything about this FLCCC group, but am going to investigate before I pass judgment. You can't use asking for donations on their main page as proof that they're not legit. St Jude...

    In your reply to me, you mentioned the longterm studies on this vaccine. As far as miniscule, fentanyl can kill you in a miniscule dose, compared to other narcotics. I know, not the same, but all the...

    You can only bring early so often until pyxis locks out as many time what can be pulled. Then someone else is dealing with someone screaming. No easy answer on this

    When I'm asked, I say I've gotten mine, but they need to consult their MD if they have any doubts. Their MD knows their complete health history, while I don't know every detail. I don't discount...

    Pity Party - US Hospitals Hit With Nurse Staffing Crisis Amid COVID

    Hoosier_RN replied to JKL33's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sadly, the number of unlicensed personnel is dwindling as well, due to low pay. They can go to a factory making $5-10/hr more an hour, and not have to put up with the crap, literally. CEOs sure...
