  2. Doctor's office and "nurses"

    Conqueror+ replied to stunt's topic in General Nursing

  6. Arlington Question

    Conqueror+ replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Texas Nursing

    I appreciate all of the input but we will be having a baby and simply cannot afford to rent and feel out all of the neighborhoods and then hunt endlessly for a home. We will be coming to look at homes...

  7. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Conqueror+ replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I saw a new program somewhere. its not in my state so I sorta brushed it off but if Nursing ED was structured this way it might satisfy many WITHOUT excluding many potential nurses by burdening them...

  16. Nursing Burnout...

    Conqueror+ replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I burned out after about ten years and took 6 months off. It worked wonders. If you can't do that try a change of shift, facility transfer, or a new specialty. I actually burnout easily but I do...

  17. RN's replacing G-tubes.

    Conqueror+ replied to Rolipoli 65's topic in General Nursing

    I work in some nursing homes and a clogged tube means the previous nurse did not flush it. We use the foleys to replace tubes and we do it at bedside. Nicely enough the foley insertion kit has...

    Conqueror+ replied to OBGYN Legal RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Conqueror+ replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Military and Gov jobs may give regular increases but the low starting salaries are horrible to begin with in most states. My mom has been a nurse longer that Ive been alive and an RN for 29 years of...

  24. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Conqueror+ replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Nurses are treated as second class citizens because it is still a predominately female profession and medicine is predominately male. Like it or not this is still America and it is a patriarchal...

    Conqueror+ replied to mrupp3's topic in Travel

    People like Karen are akin to bean counters. They only look at bottom lines and when they cannot prove their "point" they simply give a flippant, unclear response and dissapear. I have worked as a...
