    whodatnurse replied to NurseVN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  2. "if you weren't so obese, you probably wouldn't have 1/2 the illnesses you do"

    whodatnurse replied to SNB1014's topic in General Nursing

  7. Nursing Shortage: when is it going to happen??

    whodatnurse replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen "by the year 2018 1 million additional nurses will be needed" quoted in many places, but have no idea what think tank originally projected that figure. That indicates there IS going to be a...

  8. Student Looking for Answers!

    whodatnurse replied to jballa34's topic in General Nursing

  10. Can an RN be fired for being immunocompromised?

    whodatnurse replied to lexy3227's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! HR is there to look out after the hospital's interests...not HERS. I wouldn't be looking to them to advocate for her in this

    whodatnurse replied to natasharostova's topic in General Nursing

    whodatnurse replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

  15. Should I take bagels first day of work?

    whodatnurse replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    I too would have thought, "what a kind gesture". But this is why it's always good whenever possible to elicit input from people who don't think like you as well as those who do. It would never have...

  16. Should I take bagels first day of work?

    whodatnurse replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    whodatnurse replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    whodatnurse replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

  20. Seeing Psychiatrist hurt job chances in this market

    whodatnurse replied to Summers_Off's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to say that you don't 'have' to see a psychiatrist rather than a psychologist or LCSW if medication might be needed for either of you. If one or both of you are suffering from...
