    klone replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    BSN is a joke

    klone replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, that's not true. There is A LOT involved in being designated a Magnet facility. And actually, NONE of it involves how many BSN-prepared floor nurses there

    What do nurse managers and clinical directors actually do?

    klone replied to poopylala's topic in Nurse Management

    OMGosh, I'm exhausted reading through that. When I write it all out, it seems like I do way more than what it feels like I do. But that's a pretty accurate representation of a typical

    Back in 2010, Centura had a "regional float pool" where you floated to a minimum of three different hospitals of your choosing. For specialty units, I wanted to say it was a flat $42/hour...
