    What's your dream nursing job?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Hospice or home health on call for after hours. Larger companies have them. I have a couple of friends who do this, and they still make good money without running like a headless

    Working On Expired License

    Hoosier_RN replied to KPowder's topic in General Nursing

    That is crazy! But still, you would think the facility that had employed this nurse would be on the ball. Someone dropped that ball, as well as the nurse. Someone in HR or nursing management should...

    Working On Expired License

    Hoosier_RN replied to KPowder's topic in General Nursing

    Colleague asked me for a Tylenol from my med cart. What to do?

    Hoosier_RN replied to FromMNtoCA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I haven't seen any anti Asian sentiment in my area, but maybe we're lucky and more open in rural Indiana. Yes, there is a decent sized Asian population, so I'm not being snarky. Tipping is...

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    If she and your ex live together, that's 2 incomes. It sounds like she's been a nurse longer and more education, meaning she may be making more. Again, you don't know specifics. You don't need
