  1. Is there a place that lists everything within the RN scope of practice?

    gcupid replied to zygee's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree it may be impractical, can we at least both agree also that the BON should be more readily available and tangible asap when gray areas in practice ensue. For the nightshift nurse that is...

    gcupid replied to zygee's topic in General Nursing

    If the BON is clearly here to protect the public.... Shouldn't there be clear cut tasks listed so that the nurses maintain practice within their designated safe guidelines? Also, shouldn't the excuse...

  4. Pediatric Nurse Assigned Adult Med-Surg Patients as a Float

    gcupid replied to tcquilter0707's topic in General Nursing

    they should have floated the other nurse because at least she knew about adult nursing and would feel comfortable. The hospital should have offered her more incentive to work in that area. I'm sorry...

  5. Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    gcupid replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    which is a shame....there need's to be a stop to ridiculousness. Do they believe a new grad bsn overrides there years of experience? Leave them nurses alone. That is a time in life you should be...

  6. why can't nurses get safe staffing laws passed

    gcupid replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "I do not want to see staff sitting around because there is nothing to do." Are you serious? The last 12hr shift I worked I was running back and forth like a chicken with my head cut off from 7 to...

  8. What is a challenging specialty

    gcupid replied to direw0lf's topic in General Specialties

    Nursing is an art as well as hardcore at times. There are plenty of nurses who IQ's are higher than mine. I can tell they are high IQ from interaction, memorization, etc. but it doesn't necessarily...

  11. Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    gcupid replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    But im wiling to bet even the ones who start off as interested only in basic bedside see the abuse and repeated horrible working conditions and get out. If working conditions were better I bet even...

  12. Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    gcupid replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

  13. Know of any Crisis travel jobs in houston,Florida?

    gcupid replied to Ab2ayleene's topic in Travel

    There's no need to rationalize working a strike. It's not like those nurses are seeking justification for an egregious crime. All you have to do is have the ability to critically think. Just because...

  14. New Grad NP hourly wage in Bay Area

    gcupid replied to Dermnp33's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd be in the group that would request more money if I enjoyed working at the place. But Why should NP's waste time coming up with business proposals when it's clear that he recognizes the trend of...

    gcupid replied to ShockMe's topic in General Nursing

  19. Hurricane Irma: Are per diem nurses USUALLY required to work during a hurricane/disaster?

    gcupid replied to justSara's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't do it unless I wanted to do it because that's one of the benefits of being per diem. More schedule flexibility. What if you have a full time job and a prn? It's stupid. So at one place...

  20. Why in 2017 do people still believe that if you are at a computer you are goofing off

    gcupid replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    gcupid replied to mar2112's topic in General Nursing
