    OR vs NICU nursing

    @LACryptid and @Casantos1212, I'm not too familiar with what's available in the NICU forum, but please check out the OR forum under specialties. Some threads I point folks to when asking about what...

  6. @MNTB, please speak with your primary care provider and/or the vaccine administrator. Medical advice is beyond the scope of Allnurses. We wish you the best. Thread
  7. This is not surprising in the least. Nursing, one of the main reasons patient require hospitalization, is viewed as expense by the bean counters. Of course they want to cut us to right at or below the...

    NCLEX after 14 years?

    NCLEX is a national exam. There is no difference between states (meaning there is no "California NCLEX”). What is different is the state to which one applies for licensure by examination. The test...
