    Any New Grads finding it hard to find a job here in KY?

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in General Nursing

    You are very lucky. If I managed to get the recruiters to call me back with an interview, I still wouldn't get the job. I applied for a few more positions last month in a last ditch effort to not...

    New Grad Internships in NC

    WildcatFanRN replied to EmilyLucille523's topic in First Year After Licensure

    WildcatFanRN replied to Valerie Salva's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Both sides are manipulating data to serve their own ends IMO. Its like smoking, you have doctors who will say smoking is bad for you. You can also find doctors who will say and have evidence to back...

    WildcatFanRN replied to Lexnursingstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I am totally dumbfounded by the OP attitude. A ADN's scope is less than a BSN's???? My guess she hasn't actually read what an RN's scope of practice is. Also, she might very well be surprised to...

    Attacks mount on 'preexisting conditions'

    WildcatFanRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I find it amazing how one can be against any form of universilized healthcare. There are ways of doing it where its a single payor system where EVERYONE can actually afford care, and the doctors not...
