Hi Kevan, You have worked hard to get where you are. You have one more "class" to take, in my opinion. One or 2 nights soon, when you have some energy and won't fall asleep, sit with your computer and a notepad and look up Hark and Hark blog an...

In the real world, when you hit the floor cold and are expected to start running immediately, a good care plan is a Godsend. A good care plan addresses all the systems AND individualizes what nurses do for a patient. They can orient you immediately o...

A full physical would include a thyroid workup and psych assessment. Reread your own words on this thread: your agenda is so challenging even Superman would have a difficult time. Words of caution: Pace yourself. Aim to build a flow of accomplishme...

It's time for you to define your life's journey. What kind of nursing do you really want? At the bedside? or at a desk? Is there another interest for you outside of nursing? I like the comment from GingerRN above about magnet status. Advanced degrees...

The one board hearing I attended with a friend who was summoned happened almost 20 years ago. The day of hearings is scheduled in advance. Several different cases were heard. The hearing was open in that there were no restrictions at the door as to w...

I had a brilliant career. When young, and my back ached and feet hurt so bad, I thought I wanted a 'sit-down' job. Was offered a position in Nsg. Educ. that lasted 2 1/2 yrs.---turns out I hated being away from the bedside. Although somewhat a geek, ...

The last statement applies to MY surprising response to the sum of all stories. I'm old now, was a single parent, no stamina left to pursue higher callings. But with the vigor of youth.... That being said, guardian angels come in all types/flavors, e...

Read the blogs at Hark+Hark.

The landscape for these types of backgrounds and 'employability' seems to be constantly changing. The addition of restrictions on practice for a resolved past offense is an example ( was not done 20 yrs. ago). In my opinion, it gets harder and harde...

Actually, as a 20 yr. experience travel nurse, I agree. Lots of hidden, influential connections at a new job, i.e. nepotism, cronyism, gangsterism too. Not every co-worker is a sweetie, or even 'professional'. (Some places, it is obvious why they nee...
