    Update on "demotion"

    MaxAttack replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    You have an incompetent manager who acts rashly and without fact. He made a decision solely based on what others said and now he's attempting to back-track. "Calling him out" will only exacerbate the...

    Med Surg Tech Orientation from Hell!!

    MaxAttack replied to letmein2nursing's topic in General Nursing

    Only a couple days out of the week sounds manageable, but doesn't the experience help when you apply as a RN? That was the only reason I was thinking about applying, since it seems many employers want...

    MaxAttack replied to moneyline702's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sorry for the multi-post, but here's what you're looking for. Not rumor, it's written into the bill. There will be reduced premiums depending on your income, so hopefully that'll be enough to keep you...

    MaxAttack replied to moneyline702's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I've been sitting here thinking about this, searched my memory, then finally had to pull up a copy of the Constitution. I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out under what Power they would be...

    Healthcare reform

    MaxAttack replied to moneyline702's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    can family give pt unprescribed meds

    MaxAttack replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Know of Any ADN Programs With No Wait List?

    MaxAttack replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Broward College in South Florida has no waiting list. They look at prereq grades only. Microbio is isn't a prereq but it's a tiebreaker, so it would be a plus for him to have it. But you have to deal...

    MaxAttack replied to ORNurseAngie's topic in General Nursing
