    There were a couple of times when I went to a patient's home and found the patient in urgent need of cleaning/washing - Of course I would do that with my visit, which does not take that long if you...

  6. What entices you to join a new company?

    nutella replied to DesiHonor's topic in General Nursing

  11. CGFNS after NCLEX?

    nutella replied to Marangel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Somehow that sounds nuts. I wonder why they would want you to take the CGFNS exam if you have already the NCLEX. There must be a misunderstanding. Did you email somebody? It is normal to send the CES...

    Burning out nurses without concerns for their long-term career, mental and physical health or stress level has become "acceptable" it seems. And with nursing schools spewing out new grades in high...

  14. CGFNS after NCLEX?

    nutella replied to Marangel's topic in Nurse Registration

    nutella replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing
