    Do you agree with Gov. Cuomo?

    Hoosier_RN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The news items I read is that Cuomo forced nursing homes to take new admit covid positive patients that weren't critical, to free up hospital resources. If that's true, he's the biggest **%&^$#$...

    How Has Your Nursing Career Affected Your Relationships Or Other Aspects of Your Life?

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest getting all educational aspirations out of the way before starting a family. A husband won't necessarily stop it, but kiddos and their activities can definitely put your plans on hold. Just...

    We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    Hoosier_RN replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Then you haven't worked for very good managers. I've always done it. That way I can always say that I'm not asking anyone to do something that I can't/won't do

    Hoosier_RN replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare
