    Common drugs used in L&D

    klone replied to Jayjormom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    klone replied to mapets's topic in General Nursing

    We really don't have the ability to answer that. It depends on the laws in your state, your pay rule at your facility (e.g. 12/40, 12/36, 8/80, etc), your union contract, and the verbiage in the...

    Just Say “NO” to Nurse Staffing Laws

    klone replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I think you are confusing the terms "right to work state" and "employment at will". Or, at least, the fictional nurse mentor at the beginning of the article is confusing

    New nurse looking for advice/feedback

    Are there any certifications I can take to increase my salary??

    klone replied to Hcc19's topic in General Nursing

    I think the bigger question is - why do you have so much debt that you have to work 48-72 hours a week to pay your bills? I would put laser-sharp focus on living as frugally as possible and pay off...

    In my experience, a degree program is what a person puts into it. You want to slide by with doing the minimal amount of work, you probably can. You want to actually LEARN something and challenge...

    You're right, I was referring to veganism. The OP is conflating veganism and plant-based. The NY mandate has nothing to do with the Esselstyn
