    Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

    klone posted a topic in General Nursing

    Or, $7,500 if you just want her virtually. Good to know that negligent homicide is such a lucrative endeavor.

    Anyone know anything about American nurses working in Mexico?

    klone posted a topic in International Nursing

    My husband (also an RN) and I dream of packing up the kids and moving to Mexico someday. Unless we wait 15-20 years to do so, we would most likely need some kind of income to pay the bills, and I'm...

    PTO being used by hospital?

    klone replied to Duncan6's topic in General Nursing

    Is it typical for them to expect you to use PTO for hours you're not working? Yes. Either that, or go unpaid. Is it typical for hospitals to treat staff like widgets to move around at their whim,...

    Will getting my BSN from an accredited nursing school cover my ASN that was obtained from now closed school?

    klone replied to Yeka's topic in General Nursing

    Getting a BSN will not make the ASN "go away". You still have to disclose from which school you obtained your original degree that granted you licensure, every time you apply for a new license. As far...

    Is going on to be a NP my only option to make more money?

    klone replied to ConfusedNurse202's topic in General Nursing

    How far away do you live from a city (like, greater than 50,000 people)? What state do you live

    Remote nursing and practicing in multiple states. What licensure do I really need?

    klone replied to NurseyNurseNursey's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with Lunah. If you are not providing patient care, then it's unlikely you need to be licensed in multiple states. In fact, is licensure REQUIRED to do what you're doing (not referring to what...

    How do you feel about being asked to shadow in addition to interview?

    klone replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    A shadow experience is not working. Shadowing is not interacting with patients, it's literally SHADOWING. If you trip and fall, it would be the same as if you were there as a visitor and you tripped...

    Unfortunately, with only 5 months of employment you do not qualify for FMLA. Does your state offer its own protected medical leave? Call your employer's HR/benefits/leave department and ask what your...

    Maternal Fetal Medicine RN Interview

    MFM clinics are OB specialists that focus on high risk pregnancies. So you would ideally have a foundational knowledge of pregnancy complications and how chronic illnesses could affect pregnancy. I'm...

    The OB ICU - Does It Exist?

    klone replied to gracieD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So in answer to your question - no, obviously. A certification in high-risk obstetrics is not required for a nurse to take care of these patients. That is why they work in tandem with an ICU nurse -...

    Has the interview process changed?

    klone replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    No, the process has not changed; I'm sorry youve had two bad experiences. When I interview, I always let them know next steps, and when they should be hearing back from either me or HR, and I invite...

    Anyone like being a Nurse Manager?

    klone replied to KristybayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse manager for 8 years. It definitely has its headaches, and sometimes I wish I could just go in, work my three 12s, and clock out and not ever have to think about work when I'm not...

    Agree, JKL. That would not negatively influence my opinion on a candidate if they weren't involved in committee work. Everyone has different things happening in their lives and a lot of people...

    Workers Comp Case

    klone replied to maddieebobaddiee's topic in General Nursing

    I would have no idea as a hiring manager if you have a worker's comp case from a previous employer. As long as you're physically able to do the job, that's all that

    I have a medsurg stigma and can't get hired in any other specialty

    klone replied to Nurse4lifewithparrots's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to respond when you first posted, and then I came back to it and see others have said what I was going to say. Med/surg would not pigeonhole you or make you unmarketable. In fact, as a...

    Can a RN legally supervise BSN's and MSN's?

    klone replied to cosmicjustice's topic in General Nursing

    This is funny. I can tell you, NOTHING I learned about how to be a good supervisor/manager/leader was from my MSN program. In fact, I've known many LPNs who make better managers than RNs I've...

    Can nursing school be paid for by a hospital?
