    Log In Problems Found the title "Not in my job description" ironic. I've posted a few comments/threads about things we are being asked to do that they don't show us doing on the TV shows (trash,...

    And I almost asked you if it was North or South of PITT....................told you I'd be an idiot about it. Are they really hiring for that? I was planning on going into Nursing Informatics. Might...

    Really?? A Farmer's Market in the hospital?

    eriksoln replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I have to admit too........I had the same reaction as the OP initially did, but for the opposite reason. I thought it was odd not because the hospital should rethink it........but because the Farmer's...

    What is the true future of Nursing 2010 and Beyond?

    eriksoln replied to divagirl's topic in General Nursing

    I agreed with you right up until number 4. #1 and 4 are hard to imagine happening at the same time. If they did, the market would dry up again...............a true "nursing shortage" would occur and...

    eriksoln replied to Angeljho's topic in Geriatric, LTC
