    Wearing scrubs to a funeral?

    You can always wear black scrubs. Personally I don't think that anyone will care what you are wearing, instead they'll be glad you showed up to pay your respects. I'm amazed your clinic is closing and...
  3. I deal with this EVERY day. It honestly gets so old. Most of the people who are against vaccines will not change. They don't care about facts, statistics, research, education, common sense, etc. Most...

    Laser Hair RN pay in Ohio. 20% commission/no hourly

    Well they would certainly be profiting off of you. Will they offer you any free benefits? If all you are getting is 20% I'd keep looking or only do this on a very part time basis. That's a whole lot...

    redirecting to old threads

    There are some that give rude responses, but for the most part I think we are all just trying to be helpful. When it comes to topics that are discussed EVERY WEEK it sometimes gets old. Especially...

    I have a problem

    I have to do my pre-reqs again as well. It's best to just suck it up and get started. I've waited several years, and wish I would have started this process sooner. My suggestion is meet with your...

    Medical Assistants being called nurses

    I know that most of our local MD offices employ MA's and LPN's in a healthy mix. I don't know who is who unless I look at their nametag which clearly indicates which they are. The physicians do not...

    RT vs. RN? Is RT a useless profession?

    I LOVE good R/T. Their main focus is your patient's airway, while the Nurse has to focus on the patient as a whole. I would say they are F-A-R from useless. They can teach you a ton of things like...
  10. Everyone that I have talked to (inside and outside of Nursing) has said Florida's job market sucks. I've heard it's slowly improving, but that Nursing is still over

    Endorsing Maryland license in Georgia

    I can tell you that endorsing to GA can be a very long and tedious process. Last I knew you had to go to GA and get fingerprinted there for the application. Go to the GA BON website and print off the...

    PTSD & Nurses

    I don't know of anything outside of the USA. Perhaps starting with a local mental health provider and going from there. I know of many nurses who have suffered emotional and/or physical damage from...

    Black listing

    Sounds like they may have set the OP up.. Sometimes you have to look outside of your local area to find a job if you have been blacklisted locally. Good luck with the laywer/lawsuit. I know these...

    Free Professional Organizations for Nurses

    I agree with Elkpark.. I don't know of any free ones, and would be very suspicious if there was a free one. The money to run the organization would be coming from somewhere. If not by the members then...

    Notes: Laptop, Tablet, or Paper?

    Pen(cil) and paper has always worked best for me. I would be to tempted to do other things if I used a laptop/tablet. Plus I still find it a lot easier and quicker to type than

    So Nervous

    I think I am finally ready to start the process for my LPN to RN. I am taking a general placement test tomorrow to see how many pre-reqs I am going to have to take.. Man I forgot how tough some of...

    So Nervous

    Yeah that darn Accuplacer is a tough one. I hope it goes quickly.. I'm going to be working 1- full time & 1 part time job for as long as I can & going to school full time. I just won't ever...

    So Nervous

    I did much better than I expected. So now (if all goes according to plan.. Ha Ha) I have a year of pre-reqs then I can be eligible for the transition classes next fall. Thanks for

    Ivytech LPN - RN 2015

    I have heard some of the requirements are going to change for the fall of 2015 transition program. I am hoping to get in myself. I plan on taking the Teas this November.. We shall see how it all...

    If we had a conservative nurses forum

    I am more left leaning, but do have some views that aren't popular when it comes to certain things. Most of my close coworkers (that happen to be friends) know my beliefs because of other...

    Suspended until further notice

    I think this is a bit of an overreaction, however you did not document appropriately which led to a med error. Let this be an example to dot your i's and cross your t's because someone else's mistake...

    When a Doctor is very nasty...and

    I don't see any grounds for a lawsuit at this point. Either you find a new job, address the problem, or learn how to deal with this MD. I would start applying elsewhere
