I have my malpractice insurance through NSO as well...you can go to their website & choose which plan you would like, then you can even pay online if you would like to. Most of the nurses I work...
I agree with some of the above posts...it doesn't matter what kind of day you are having; we are all expected to be professional. I take HUGE issue with the amount of people in the healthcare field...
I'm guessing you work in a hospital setting? I don't really have much advice for you, but I work in (and love) home infusion. We do weekly dressing changes on PICC lines, & we measure (&...
Wow - that's scary! I'm an LPN in GA & was planning to try to go back in the fall to get my RN. Now I'm afraid I may not be able to get in anywhere, nor get the financial aid to help cover the...

Hi - I was just curious to know if anyone could tell me how/where to begin looking for financial aid for online nursing courses? I am currently working as an LPN, and I have 2 children, so I cannot...
I would say definitely to do it! (Especially if you're going into it for the love of the job & the money is just a bonus). I am an LPN in GA & I only make half of that salary per yr., but I...

This seems ridiculous to me!!! No wonder you feel so overwhelmed! I dare say I don't think your having been out of nursing for 10 yrs. has anything to do with it - anyone would feel this way, in my...
I disagree with this practice as well. I was a CNA for quite some time before I went to nursing school & as a CNA, I was required to do finger sticks as well as simple wound care. Also, I did lab...
I was a single mom all through nursing school - when I started they were 18 months old & 2 1/2 years old. No family around, very few friends, fresh off a divorce with the father not at all...
