    allnurses Launches Thank A Nurse Website

    mclennan replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in News, Announcements

    Also, once I'm at the site, the only link to share on Facebook takes you directly to the AllNurses FB page. No way to share the actual Thank a Nurse site on FB - say, a hyperlink - without cutting and...

    allnurses Launches Thank A Nurse Website

    mclennan replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in News, Announcements

    An actual link/URL to the site in the OP would be very helpful. Nowhere in the press release does it mention the domain name, and Google also turns up nothing. Come on,

    allnurses Launches Thank A Nurse Website

    mclennan replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in News, Announcements

    Nope. All I see are the post and article titles laid out as headlines, those fill my entire screen. No logo or link to Thank A Nurse. I'm on an iPad mini and iPhone using the newest versions of the...

    Ambulatory Care Nurse Certification?

    mclennan replied to ART_RN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Honestly, if you have the experience in ambulatory that is required to sit for the ANCC cert exam, you can pass the test without dropping $ on prep materials. I had 4 years of full time clinic...

    Ccm entrant needs help with requirements

    mclennan replied to white2013's topic in Case Management

    Um, there's no such thing as an "RN degree." The CCM requires a BSN to sit for the exam, or other 4 year degree in a human service focus. If you are an ADN RN you cannot sit for the exam. The CCMC...

    Nurse with disabilities and case management

    mclennan replied to RN010101's topic in Case Management

    If you read what I wrote carefully, you'll see I said I sit all day ***EXCEPT*** when covering for the inpatient CM. Next time you want to rip on someone's post, maybe actually reading it might be a...

    Watch what you post on Facebook

    mclennan replied to classicdame's topic in General Students

    Don't vilify Facebook. Vilify people who use it stupidly. Believe it: there ARE ways to use social media responsibly, just like alcohol. Don't blame the tools for poor outcomes, blame the people who...

    Why Is It That Everyone Thinks They're A Good Nurse?

    mclennan replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Once again, the original point of Ruby's post is lost to narcissistic, self-absorbed comments that sound mildly defensive.....lots of self-reflective pondering about whether or not YOU are or aren't a...

    if you hate nursing, what would you rather do instead?

    mclennan replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to own and operate a cage free doggie daycare and run a dog rescue out of it, or own and operate a lavender farm. If I could figure out how to combine both I'd leave nursing in a...

    mclennan replied to tl44's topic in California Nursing

    I'm also speaking up as a CA RN. This is by far thee WORST state in the country for new grads - heck, even experienced nurses who live here, were born here, with CA licensure of many years, with BSNs...

    Do you lose nursing skills as a nurse case manager?

    mclennan replied to Nurse_Ayanna76's topic in Case Management

    Thanks GrnTea, you are spot on as usual in your analysis of CM nursing skills. In 7 years I've done clinic and public health nursing & home health which both involved case management of...

    Nurse with disabilities and case management

    mclennan replied to RN010101's topic in Case Management

    I sit all day in my job as a CM, except when I am asked to cover an inpatient CM's job once in a while or meet a patient/family on the unit which is rare. Huh. I'm always surprised at how little...

    Acidic Posting

    mclennan replied to NurseGuyBri's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience some of this should also be chalked up to some inconsistent moderation. What people consider rude or mean is so subjective that moderating it is difficult, I understand that, but I've...

    Where do most traveling nurses stay? And how do you fit all the things you'll need?

    mclennan replied to Inlocd454's topic in Travel

    I've never been a traveler but have worked closely with many and hosted 2 in my house as renters of my guest room. From this perspective, I recommend you be as organized as possible. I had one...

    mclennan replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Lol new grad, you make it sound like you will have a CHOICE! Take whatever job you can get. I seriously doubt you'll have the luxury of choice. I have never bought into the idea that every nurse...
