    Guest27531 replied to FutureRN81's topic in New York Nursing

  3. HELP! Social question-over the line?

    Guest27531 replied to jlove1821's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. switch careers later?

    Guest27531 replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Nursing

    If you are "older" and know how to study better now then I recommend switching back to nursing right away. If you graduate with a nursing degree and cannot find a job as an RN right away you will be...

    Guest27531 replied to Baubo516's topic in General Students

    Unless it is a specific program (like working in an underserved area with loan forgiveness) the tuition reimbursement is a benefit of employment. You must be working full time when you start the...

  9. Dept. of Human Services nurse ??

    Guest27531 replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like a Public Health Nurse which is a generic description and a government (usually state or city) job. The specific job could be almost anything in the community so you would need to...

  10. OR vs ICU

    Guest27531 replied to LivewellRN's topic in General Nursing

    The nature of the autonomy is different and the degree of autonomy in the ICU probably depends a great deal on your hospital. In my hospital, a teaching hospital, there is little opportunity to...

  11. OR vs ICU

    Guest27531 replied to LivewellRN's topic in General Nursing

  14. Volunteering = Experience?

    Guest27531 replied to bkgibsonv's topic in New York Nursing

  15. What are my chances of getting an RN job in NYC?

    Guest27531 replied to zolow's topic in New York Nursing

  16. If you could rewind and do it over again...

    Guest27531 replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    I can see that "puzzle" or "patient" might be confusing since both are addressed. Look, for a moment, at an End of Life situation. A 95 year old frail woman with a history of advanced liver failure...

  17. If you could rewind and do it over again...

    Guest27531 replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    That would be an odd question for a nurse to ask but I just re-read your post and see that you haven't decided where your interest lies. It seems like you are trying to investigate the differences...

    Guest27531 replied to RNicholask's topic in General Nursing

  19. Advice for the New Cardiac RN

    Guest27531 replied to ElizabethRN10's topic in Cardiac

    Guest27531 replied to a5gunner's topic in General Nursing

    Guest27531 replied to KC,RN's topic in General Nursing
