    Should good health be a requirement for certain positions?

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    If she is not your direct report, it's quite possible she has an intermittent FMLA case due to health, and you just are not aware of it. In which case, there really isn't anything you can do about...

    MSN or DNP?..

    klone replied to peeweedelivery's topic in Nurse Management

    IMO, unless your goal is to become the CNO of a major teaching hospital, a DNP is totally unnecessary. Go for the MSN-Leadership - it has opened MANY doors for

    Why is there a shortage of pediatric nurses?

    klone replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Muno, you're being ridiculous in your arguments, to the point of devolving into complete pedantry. I also think you realize you're being utterly pedantic, but are doing it for show or amusement....

    Grand Jury Indicts Nurse but not 5 Officers in inmate death

    klone replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like they will review charges again for the guards the next time the grand jury convenes (I hope??). As someone who lives daily with the reminder of George Floyd's death (I live 3 blocks...

    Radonda Vaught Trial
