  1. Endorsement

    Texas has a statement on their Texas BON website that specifically speaks to the Florida nursing school scandal. So maybe they are vetting Florida more meticulously to make sure that the nurses are safe for the public.

  5. Reported to the BON for cellphone usage?

    If you let it, Nursing can take all of your joy away and crush your spirit. You have to have faith. Get some champagne or your favorite piece of cake and celebrate your new job. Take it one day at a time.
  6. Reported to the BON for cellphone usage?

    girl, forget them people. Start applying for another job.
  7. Those organizations are lying in bed with one another. It's a waste of money.
  8. When Will the Nursing Shortage Be Over?

    go on a short strike during this pandemic delta stuff and let's see what happens... The hospital areas that have horrible staffing before the delta variant even arrives are going to be in an even bigger problem problem months from now.
  9. RN patient ratio in dialysis

    Why is every specialty in nursing difficult?? Shouldn't there be at least a few specialties in which u r treated with respect and not treated like a slave?? I'm one of the nurses in acute care that need a break. (especially after this covid mes...
  10. Getting off the "do not hire" list?

    the good old dnr list. It's a tactic done to bully nurses. 90% of the time, the abusive system holds no merit. It's what bitter miserable people do when they hold little significance in life in order to make themselves feel temporarily less insecure...
  11. New Nurse - Unsafe Hospital

    the going over ratio is bs too. If you show the money, the nurses will be there. Unfortunately, many of the hospitals are deciding to not share resources with frontline workers.
  12. RN pay in the Bay Area, CA?

    even with the cost of living adjustment, florida is still screwing nurses out of money.
  13. New Nurse - Unsafe Hospital

    if this were a male dominated profession, this foolishness would not exist. Just start refusing patients after 5. They can't fire every nurse.
  14. RN pay in the Bay Area, CA?

    that's what some of them do. The Bay area, San diego, & LA have very high rents but the bay is the worst. No one desires to really fix the problem.
  15. Covid ADN vs BSN

    Are the hospitals still looking at ADN vs BSN in regards to hiring practices? Based off of arguments in the past supposedly backed by research, facilities alluded to higher education being paramount to uphold safety standards despite everyone passing...

  17. I really want to quit..any advice?

    Welcome to Nursing.
  18. ANA of New York BS in TEN!

    It is to my knowledge that legislation has been passed that would require all New York registered nurses who were licensed after 2017 to obtain their BSN within 10 years (by 2027). From a past email, involving BS in TEN, the New York State Chapter of...
  19. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    Maybe moving forward in union contracts there should be a pandemic clause so that nurses are treated more fairly. These are healthy discussions we must have in order to progress the Profession.
  20. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    I also want to admonish everyone at this moment, we need to stick together like physicians stick together. I applaud registry/travel nurses who decide to leave their home state or the comfort of doing the bare minimum hours to come out and help full...
  21. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    Feel free to stop offering (ordering) suggestions. Lets see how that goes.

    This forum does not give you authority to order. I Will speak out against whatever I desire to speak out against. Save those orders for your work environment in which you have those privileges.
  23. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    Okay, well where's some of this magical bail out money that seems to come when corporations are failing? Who is fighting for the bedside individuals who are putting themselves at risk? You guys people have died from this virus.
  24. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    With all due respect, some of us were willing to take those risks because we knew that there would be some type of minimum protective equipment provided in order to safely do our jobs. I've come across some old school nurses that practiced when ther...
