    Getting rid of my nursing library at home

    I would see if they are still being sold for a decent price on Amazon. If so sell those puppies and make some $$$. Everything is available online or at your employer now

    Is anyone else bothered by this? You should be

    I don't think it's a big deal. Each State has their own requirements. I have one State that requires some, the other doesn't require any. I do think States should require something, but I have always...

    Posting Licensed Number in social media

    I would not. I try to keep information like that as private as I can. Sure it is easy to find, but I doubt most people in or out of healthcare know how easy it is to find. I don't post it on my resume...

    Time to move on

    LTC is tough, but I have say I don't know any "easy" nursing job. They all have their stresses. I currently don't feel like I am meeting my potential so I am starting the process of going back to...

    Georgia Licensing

    I can tell you NOTHING is fast or easy with the GA BON. They are the worst BON I have dealt with yet. Everything is a hassle, you next to never get to talk to anyone, and no one knows what's going on....

    Security in Healthcare Environments

    I don't there is a way to prevent these incidents, but we can find ways to deal with these situations. Your facilty can come up with a plan. I think it's smart to prepare in case of this sort of...

    A little concerned

    Well I have learned something new today. In all of the places I have worked either the Nurse or MD did the test and recorded the results. No lab techs

  20. Well anyone who knows about news knows that there is typically some sort of bias in a story. When I hear the phrase "liberal media bias" I just laugh. It's as absurd as "fair and balanced". I'm afraid...
