   Section8UpX68WM6 replied to SlowlyButSurely's topic in LPN/LVN

   Here's my take. I've worked healthcare for 27 years. I couldn't care less what people think. I've got skills and experience in the military, LTC, major city hospitals, visiting patients in their homes, and office nursing some RNs (especially new grad...

   Section8UpX68WM6 replied to dodiewayne's topic in LPN/LVN

7. Do Employers Desire Nurses With FEMA ICS Certifications

   Section8UpX68WM6 replied to jeremypcaldwell's topic in COVID

   I took a couple of those courses (FEMA). Interesting and dry subject at the same time. But it all makes sense if you are into disaster preparedness. The terrorism subjects are the scary ones to read about. Very eye opening. You'll never look at the s...

    Section8UpX68WM6 replied to Rocknurse's topic in Headlines

    The worse bullying besides being threatened to be killed or "assassinated" by psycho managers or a coworker *cough* is the gossiping and character assassination. Sweet Jesus. I remember I was one week or two from going on my annual vacation back in ...
