    Guest27531 replied to curly76's topic in Holistic

  2. Does this research topic seem too easy for master thesis?

    Guest27531 replied to icudavis's topic in Research

    Both topics sound wonderful and definitely not easy. They would both make a great thesis but the one that looks at glucose monitoring might require greater collaboration with MD (due to MD orders)....

    Guest27531 replied to peoplenurse rn's topic in Holistic

  8. White Glove Placement? Agencies?

    Guest27531 replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    Guest27531 replied to iwillnotwasteit's topic in General Nursing

  11. Want to continue Education.. whats best?

    Guest27531 replied to nice_nurse88's topic in General Nursing

    Why did you get denied in an NP program? CRNA programs are tougher to get in and a more difficult curriculum, at least in NY. CRNA is definitely not for everyone... It sounds like you definitely...

    Guest27531 replied to boston HD's topic in New York Nursing

    Union vs non-union is sometimes a matter of political or personal preference, sometimes a matter of preferred benefits. When I first started I had no preference. I feel fortunate today that the...

  16. Which hospitals to recommend in NYC?

    Guest27531 replied to boston HD's topic in New York Nursing

    The most important advice I will give you is to get the job first. Interviews are hard to come by these days. If you really want to come to NYC you must dive in with your whole heart - forget about...

  18. Registry, Per Diem or Part Time in NYC

    Guest27531 replied to jrv100's topic in New York Nursing

  20. Prove my Mom wrong, please

    Guest27531 replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Guest27531 replied to Runman1914's topic in Cardiac

    Guest27531 replied to rnhh2008's topic in New York Nursing

  23. Getting screwed by an agency - need help!

    Guest27531 replied to Acrastic's topic in General Nursing

    It would be unusual for an agency not to have you sign a document where you understand that you may not work for the place they sent you, usually, for 1 year. If you do work for them before the year...

  24. Cardiac cath nurse being put in procedures with no training

    Guest27531 replied to Runman1914's topic in Cardiac

    It is a small lab with two rooms and about 8-10 cases a day + emergencies. Very often they have LHC scheduled and then continue to do ad hoc PCI. Doctors and nurses alike get frustrated when the...
