  3. Advice for interview

    BeachNurse replied to t2000JC's topic in Research

  4. Your priorities

    BeachNurse replied to Sahn's topic in General Nursing

    Family first, then work. I have 3 kids. One of the reasons I left the hospital was so I could take a M-F job that was flexible whenever I needed time off for appointments or other matters. No 12...

    BeachNurse replied to dietersmanifesto's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, people need to take responsibility for their actions. Otherwise, we could sue just about everyone for every single poor decision we make in our lives. I can't even agree on your example about...

    BeachNurse replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  10. New BUSH Overtime TakeBack Law

    BeachNurse replied to alatta58's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is just my opinion, but personally I do not want to work overtime and I would assume that most people don't enjoy working overtime. I would think that places who rely heavily on FT nurses...

  11. New overtime law "myths and facts" Yes, hourly RNs are affected

    BeachNurse replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  16. Subject Recruitment

  18. Subject Recruitment

    BeachNurse replied to Charlott's topic in Research

    Has your clinic tried radio ads? What about a website? You can be listed with Centerwatch or some of the other clinical trials websites. Sometimes, the hard work and effort you put forth may only...

    BeachNurse replied to KibbsRNstudent's topic in Infectious Disease

    I wasn't meaning to jump down your throat..it just sounded odd. Sorry if you thought I was being mean!

  20. i've heard of nursing students having Hep B. they are allowed to ..

    BeachNurse replied to KibbsRNstudent's topic in Infectious Disease

  22. i've heard of nursing students having Hep B. they are allowed to ..

    BeachNurse replied to KibbsRNstudent's topic in Infectious Disease

    BeachNurse replied to KibbsRNstudent's topic in Infectious Disease

    First of all, nurses are not required to disclose their status. Why would having a nurse with a disease be scary? A nurse (like any other person) would have to exchange bodily fluids with a person...

  24. To the RN's in research

    BeachNurse replied to dee201's topic in Research

    Hi Dee..I would recommend at least a year of clinical experience if you are a new nurse. Doing M/S would be extremely helpful in the areas you are interested in. Good luck!
