    IMABSNRN posted a topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    I'm not an mds coordinator, but I've been interested in learning and perhaps landing a mds coordinator position somewhere one of these days. The current mds coordinator where I work is always more...

  2. Accepted to USA Spring 2010 Adult/Gero NP Program

    IMABSNRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm nervous about the job market but I guess I can't lose that "never say give up" mindset because I feel like I should still go on with it. My mind is a blur right now. I've got to arrange financial...

  3. Online Adult/Gero NP through USA

    IMABSNRN posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have applied to this program and am wondering if anyone is familiar with it? I hope I am not limiting myself by not going the FNP route, but I've heard most FNP programs are super competitive and...

    IMABSNRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  5. Patients spitting & nurse rights

    IMABSNRN replied to acubed's topic in General Nursing

    We had a male RN who was hit from behind by a patient and this nurse whirled around and slapped this patient out of his chair. The nurse was placed on leave and the BON ended up deciding this nurse's...

  6. Nasty Management/Administrator (vent)

    IMABSNRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work in a LTC facility where the management is very nasty. The administrator has to be about the most unpopular person around. He took a garbage bag the other day and went around gathering personal...

    IMABSNRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    IMABSNRN replied to wizard100's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Peaceful, I just found out I've been accepted. I'm not sure what to think or do, because all I keep seeing about adult NPs is total doom and gloom. Why go through all that and then end up having to go...

    IMABSNRN replied to peaceful's topic in Post Graduate Students

    IMABSNRN replied to rawrn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm disgusted with my situation, too. I'm stuck at a job in a LTC facility and it's getting on my nerves. I've got a BSN and know I could go to a big hospital where the excitement is but it would be...

    IMABSNRN replied to Dorali's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  23. Hospitals Hiring only Nurses with BSN Degree

    IMABSNRN replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing
