    CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

    Be careful with this- again, administratively you can be supervised by a non-licensed person. You need to be sure of the management structure before you automatically assume someone who is indeed in a...

    CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

    F1 Student Need Help

    Pretty sure that's not a thing in the US. You graduate from nursing school, pass NCLEX, and you're a licensed RN who can apply for regular jobs. There are employers with nursing residencies, but...

    Graduate Nurse Status-Military Spouse

    Did they truly state that you have to test in your state of residence or that your license must come from your legal state of residence? NCLEX is a national exam and can be taken anywhere it is...

    Mandatory Break Bill

    You do realize that those who choose (and many do choose, because it fits their outside of work schedule better) to work 10 or 12 hour shifts aren't working 5 days a week? 10 hour shifts work 4 days a...

    Question: Tooth or Foot First?

    My OR frequently works with surgeons to complete multiple surgeries at the same time in order not to give a patient multiple anesthetic encounters. Granted, the root canal could likely be done under...
