   UserG replied to UserG's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   Me too! Come to think of it, I did have a tough internal struggle justifying my nursing leadership course being in any category. I had a professor who taught the merits of non-contact therapeutic...

2. Nursing is Not a Science

   UserG posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   Is nursing a science? The second letter in the degree on my wall seems to think so. However, I have been expanding my horizons and have found those that don't seem to believe the same. I am...

3. How well does misogyny work out in your facility?

   UserG replied to UserG's topic in General Nursing

   He doesn't really get across his point, which I think was that dispensing BC is somehow wrong. The problem 99.9% of people have is not what he is saying but HOW he is saying it. Read the article....

4. How well does misogyny work out in your facility?

   UserG replied to UserG's topic in General Nursing

   I've been seeing on some blogs covering this story a disturbing trend. While the misogyny is rampant, there seem to be some that are taking things too far. The proper response isn't going after men...

   In southern Florida, the HCA's have a great program for new grads and nurses wanting to go into a new critical care area they aren't trained for. Two months in the classroom and two with a preceptor...

7. what is the best state for a new RN grad to find employment

   UserG replied to im_melba's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I was first licensed as an RN in OR. My first job in 2008 downsized me after just a few months and I was unemployed for 6 months. I took stopgap jobs here and there, but ended up full time staff in...

   UserG replied to Fabi.M's topic in General Nursing

   HCA facilities here in South Florida hire new grads into 14 week specialty programs (ER, Peds, ICU, etc). As for "internship" positions, I'm not sure I've seen any in

9. Question for the fellas....

   UserG replied to RNYC's topic in Men in Nursing

   Yes, and the difficulty I had in trying to become an OB nurse had nothing to do with my gender... I was raised in a delivery room (mom is FNP/CNM) and have assisted on hundreds of deliveries and in...

10. Question for the fellas....

    UserG replied to RNYC's topic in Men in Nursing

    Your gender, in my experience, gives you the edge to get the job over another female candidate. Getting the interview, is what your resume and CV is for. After that, I've seen gender work wonders....

11. Forced Flu Shots

12. Question for the fellas....

    UserG replied to RNYC's topic in Men in Nursing

    There are advantages once you get the job, but I haven't seen anything in the hiring. It depends on the manager you are talking with. Considering most managers come from the specialty they are...

    UserG replied to Tinksrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Is there a source citation of the harm from flu vaccines? Nursing is also a science, so I would like to see a reputable science journal tell me: 1) the vaccine is very harmful (with exceptions to...

    UserG replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I actually dread taking my pets into the vet because I've now heard vet techs on both coasts starting to introduce themselves as "a nurse". Vet tech is a hard job, but it isn't a nurse. I don't treat...

15. Critical Care Course: A Good Idea?

    UserG posted a topic in General Nursing

    My hospital system runs a course for several of their facilities in the area. New grads going into certain areas (ICU, ER, CCU, etc) take the course before going into their assigned area. And it is...
