    Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    The nearest Costco is over an hour away, so I don't shop there. Even if I did, I probably wouldn't use that

    Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    Hoosier_RN replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    If the license lapses, you (general you, not specific you) are no longer a RN, so that is correct, you can't be held to that standard. If you have that licensure, you can definitely be held to RN...

    Hoosier_RN replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Hoosier_RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    many that I see post on SM platforms post so much misinformation, and yes, they are nurses who should know better. After 25+ years doing this, I have no need to advertise that I'm a nurse. Those...

    Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    Hoosier_RN replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    If you have licensure as an RN, regardless of title working as, you are held to the accountability of RN. Job title downgrade doesn't absolve you of the responsibility, sadly. Many posts on AN...

    Using RN after your name in a different state.

    Hoosier_RN replied to emipn's topic in General Nursing

    In some states, it is illegal to use the title registered nurse if you don't hold licensure in that state. If you are wanting to use it on a business card, something tells me that it's a nursing...

    Should I quit my manager job to finish my Master's?

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

    There are so many online programs out there: GCU, WGU, and Phoenix. I got my masters at WGU and can recommend. Like Nurse Beth said, this isn't an either/or situation. Look into online schools and...

    NO JOBS

    Hoosier_RN replied to NewNurseBSN's topic in Nursing Career

    The market just sucks right now. Hospitals lost tons of money, especially at the beginning of the pandemic, so many programs canceled, and many positions showing open, not being filled. I'll keep...

    What are they teaching?

    Hoosier_RN replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, not really different than getting a nurse from any other background. After 5 years, you do expect at least a basic level of skills and competence to build

    Nurses only stay late in dialysis if there's an emergency or a patient isn't picked up immediately at last treatment. Other than that, out on

    Me too LOL. But that supposed HR person from HCA was trippy to say the very least. Maybe now, some will understand why we say no real pictures, or names. Who knows if that poster was for real, but...

    #1-if you can prove slander or libel, then there is legal recourse. Unfortunately, most of the time, the statement is a better candidate found, or something in that line. If you are on an official do...
