    Putting RN on license plate???

    SharonH, RN replied to Kalico's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the info Miranda. What a truly horrific story. I wonder if he targeted them because they were nursing students? It doesn't really change my original point. There are any number of ways a...

    Does this bother you?

    SharonH, RN replied to Gods child's topic in General Nursing

    It's a very bad idea but it is clear that the governor is badly mistaken about the education required to become an RN. I don't see how you can reasonably combine a high school education and an...

    Putting RN on license plate???

    SharonH, RN replied to Kalico's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. It must be a big, bad scary world for some of you. If someone is going to "get" me, they're going to get me because of the right circumstances, mainly opportunity. I just try to be prudent...

    Getting Paid $$ for End-of-Shift Overtime?

    SharonH, RN replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe it is even up for discussion. If your work it, you need to get paid for it. All that business about it being your fault if you don't get your work done on time is a load of garbage...

    nurses mixing meds

    SharonH, RN replied to Goldenhare's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need to start looking for another job ASAP. They are asking you to do procedures for which you have clearly not been trained for or educated on and they are endangering patients and your...

    Nurses and money.......

    SharonH, RN replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    Back to the original topic, I have not known a significant number of nurses who declared bankruptcy, in fact I haven't known any. I agree with others who stated that our society is very materialistic...

    Nurses and money.......

    SharonH, RN replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know the Black population had been "decimated". :uhoh21: Likewise, I didn't know that the rate of juvenile diabetes had been linked to free school lunches as opposed to nonnutritious school...

    The past 6 months have been brutal for me also. Not only my IRA is taking a beating but so are my individual stocks and my daughter's 529. It's so bad that the rate of retunr on our regular savings...

    SharonH, RN replied to asilmk's topic in General Nursing

    Help Pick Atlanta College for BSN!

    SharonH, RN replied to BSN_RN_to_be's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I would rule out Clayton based on location alone. For that matter, I would also eliminate Kennesaw. That leaves Emory and GSU. If cost is a factor, that leaves Georgia

    SharonH, RN replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    *snicker* It's more than a reach, it's completely absurd. Your dislike/resentment of nursing/nurses has seriously affected your ability to view things objectively. Factors affecting the explosion in...
