    llg replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

  7. CPN vs. Board Certification

    llg replied to kr0909's topic in Pediatric

  10. Should I include this in my nursing school application?

    llg replied to lotus_37's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Only certain departments in hospital got a pay increase?

    llg replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    I reached to top of the scale for my position several years ago (5 - 6 years ago, I think). I haven't gotten any raises of any kind since then. So yes, the "buying power" of my compensation has...

    llg replied to guest940422's topic in Nursing Career

    llg replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    I echo what Horseshoe wrote. You'll have to contact each required clinical site for the school of your choice and ask them for a waiver. That's the bottom line -- because without the required...

  17. ICU Nurse Activity Trackers

    llg replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    My thoughts were all negative when I saw this article, too. I guess I can imagine that it could be used for good purposes -- but I doubt it will. It will most likely be all about how we can...

    llg replied to sogbo223's topic in First Year After Licensure
