    Advice on BSN

    klone replied to Kaceyn428's topic in General Nursing

    Holding a bachelor's in another field will not help you in an RN-BSN program, because all the classes you will need to take in an RN-BSN program are specific to nursing. I would recommend WGU...

    Health at Any Size?

    My opinion is there is a lot of validity to this program. The reading I have done on the research they've cited has shown that among individuals, it's more effective to look at specific issues like...

    False positive drug test for Benzos

    klone replied to NurseMotivator's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. It's the "vibrations" in the carrier that are supposed to have their magical medicinal properties. Also, the number before the X (or C) is supposed to be the strength. The higher the number, the...

    Manager Set Up A Meeting With Union Rep

    klone replied to PsychNurse6083's topic in General Nursing

    Also, DO NOT call in sick. Because that just postpones the meeting. Also, it could be an investigation of another employee, and you might have information they need. Which could be why the union...

    Manager Set Up A Meeting With Union Rep

    False positive drug test for Benzos

    klone replied to NurseMotivator's topic in General Nursing

    Except that, unlike herbal medicine, there is absolutely ZERO scientific evidence that homeopathy does ANYTHING (beyond placebo). Herbalism is NOT the same thing as homeopathy (I used to be an...

    Is it normal for an employer to manage your off time?

    klone replied to eBrekke's topic in General Nursing

    More thoughts...I feel like in today's gig economy, it's super out-of-touch and tone deaf for any organization to have a moonlighting policy (except for maybe certain industries that would then have a...

    Is it normal for an employer to manage your off time?

    klone replied to eBrekke's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with Rionoir that policies on moonlighting are not uncommon, although I feel like it used to be more of a thing 20+ years ago. In the past multiple nursing jobs I've had, I've never seen an...
