  1. I'm back!

    Googlenurse replied to NurseCard's topic in Home Health

    Home health would be so much easier to work if we did not have OASIS. I get anxiety just thinking about it. I left skied visits after a year, I couldn’t take the

  2. 53 Yrs Old, No BSN and Feels Helpless

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

    I think with the Philly/ NYC area, there are so many schools that employers can be choosey. But since Covid, you are right. There are some places hiring Lpns that would had not hired them

  3. 53 Yrs Old, No BSN and Feels Helpless

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

    What? Hospitals in my area won’t even hire an RN if he or she does not have their BSN. Even the VNA ads say “BSN only.” Trust me, I’ve tried for years with just my ADN and hospitals would...

  4. Why is there a shortage of pediatric nurses?

    Googlenurse posted a topic in General Nursing

  5. 53 Yrs Old, No BSN and Feels Helpless

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

    Googlenurse replied to MTRNlove's topic in Private Duty

    Googlenurse replied to PPediRN's topic in Nursing News

  9. Should good health be a requirement for certain positions?

    Googlenurse replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    With so many places hiring right now,there really is no need to put up with disrespect or any aspects of a job you do not like. I quit my PRN job doing skilled visits. Why? I do not want to put...

  12. New Nurses - DON'T TRAVEL

    Googlenurse replied to acc1223's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Googlenurse replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

  20. LTC Question/Opinion
