    Journey_On replied to StepbyStep's topic in Neurological

    One of the PCAs (nurse tech/CNA) on our floor was saying that she heard our floor was the hardest floor to work on in our hospital - I wouldn't be surprised if that were true! I work on the stroke...

    Question about scrubs

    Journey_On replied to michelle2369's topic in General Nursing

    Ever since nursing school clinicals, I have worn an extra shirt under my scrub top. I originally started wearing a shirt underneath because my nursing school scrubs had a low v-neck. Also because in...

    Crushing meds?

    Journey_On replied to Macbs4's topic in First Year After Licensure

    We have this device called the Silent Knight (at least, that's what it says on it). I don't like it very much, though it does work. We used to have a hammer, but it's gone now. I wonder if it was too...

    When to apply to Frontier

    Journey_On replied to HHheart's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Ahh now I see that you have 15 years of experience! Hmm, that is a good question then. Since you are so close to getting your BSN, maybe it would be good to wait to apply to the MSN program rather...

    Journey_On replied to *PaintedSky*'s topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't really know how it was when I was accepted. I imagine it may have become a little more competitive, however, because they changed some things to the admission process. For example, now they...

    Journey_On replied to TPA_CW_Shelley's topic in Florida Nursing

    I did not work at MPM, but I did my clinicals there and liked it. I am working at a non-magnet hospital now, and I cannot really point out any huge differences between non-magnet and magnet hospitals....
