    Ion replied to Thedreamer's topic in Men in Nursing

    Ion replied to banditrn's topic in Correctional

    Ion replied to Sheri257's topic in Correctional

    If you kick their butt or call them out in front of everyone you often will never have to deal with that again. Bullies hate having their punk card pulled. Same thing with family members. And...

  9. Being the minority/awkward moments

    Ion replied to Jamie Dale's topic in Men in Nursing

  11. Corrections Nurses: Have You Been Hit Like This?

    Ion replied to Sheri257's topic in Correctional

    Sometimes you have to introduce them to the floor, the wall, the gurney... it is good to meet new people. I believe more people are dropped by nurses in the hospital than the average correctional...

  16. Accelerated BSN programs.

    Ion replied to newstudent2007's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Always check the NCLEX passing rate. If you want to be a RN, then that is what you need to pass. I believe the LPN-BSN program did not do well, and those people were already

  18. Casa Grande

    Ion replied to english_nurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ion replied to twiceaslucky's topic in Arizona Nursing

    For what my lousy opinion is worth, I would stay out of queen creek. What you would spend on time + gas is easily compensated by living in East Mesa or Apache

    Ion replied to mark hamel's topic in Arizona Nursing
