  3. I Detest My Job--Help!!

  4. How can you find out if a CON has been granted?

  8. ANGRY! Forced to work??

    Ask them if they care. I remedied that situation early on, by quitting and going into home health. Their lack of management did not constitute my emergency!
  9. Number of Disease Management nurses

  12. Job Discrimination...despite nursing shortage

  13. Please Help Me!! 50 pts med pass [New grad]

    Trying to pass meds to 50 patients is not only unrealistic, but is downright dangerous. I was a new graduate LPN thirty-some-odd years ago on an extremely busy surgical floor, when my partner and...
  14. how many (nursing students) are sick?

    I made the Director's List (in Peds and Leadership Nursing) during the first two quarters of my Senior year. I made a C in Advanced Med-Surg the last quarter, but let me tell you, I was PROUD of it,...

  19. RN Scrubs

    Jasco Uniforms does have great prices. As a matter of fact, I ordered both a cute scrub top with animal prints and a pair of white pants for $25.00 just last night. You can't beat their service,...
  20. Lost It at Work!
