    Joyce, I'm not going to do the assignment for you, but you may want to think about a few things in this situation: 1. the evidence of critical analysis means what problems can you see in this...

    On-line ACLS recertification.

    No, it says that you will be referred to an advisor of some kind who will let you know what to review again, and then you retest. It did not say it would cost another

    What do you think is the MOST difficult clinical skill to acquire in your experience?

    child care problems

    ceecel.dee replied to marshalbc77's topic in General Nursing

    We expect paid holidays if we are off, and double time if we are on. If your daycare mom makes more being paid by the government for the low income families, it's no different than nurses going to...

    Newsweek letter to editor

    ceecel.dee replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    I am speechless (almost). Funny how a legitimate complaint like short staffing can be construed into something like "the whining of a female profession" by a presumed male author. (I admit that I...

    I wish I could get it through my thick head that the DON is not necessarily pro-nursing dept, but administrator and doctor pleaser. (I know that this is not true of all of them, and I didn't want it...

    RNs Performing Housekeeping Duties!

    Now this post could bring a whole thread's worth of comments about the portrayal of nurses even to nurses in training, and about college student's needing to be taught to make a bed! Oh

    Poor work attendance in a coworker -- what to do?

    ceecel.dee replied to obliviousRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes I think that the sick leave policies or benefits are just too liberal! I mean, maybe what your hospital should look at is making the sick leave bene leaner at your next contract...

    RNs Performing Housekeeping Duties!

    ceecel.dee replied to allsmiles's topic in General Nursing

    It is just plain ridiculous to pay a professional nurse to spend her time cleaning! We had to put ourselves on the agenda of the hospital board meeting to be heard on this point. Housekeepping was...

    ceecel.dee replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, Roland has a valid point, and nursing school sucks! And it's hard! But what are you going to do? You should present your concerns to the powers that be, and then move on. All the people in...

    This attitude...these words...are very un-Mother Thersa-like, as is all the status language. "The meek shall inherit the earth" is the kind of scripture she read, believed and lived. Your philosophy...

    ALL NP's PLEASE READ THIS!

    ceecel.dee replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Nursing

    Okay...why did you pick NP again? It probably should be better thought out than just nice hours, questionably "good" salaries, and cute old women who leave an emotional impression on you. I think...
