I'm sorry this is happening to y'all. I am witnessing hospital infrastructure collapse and the government is not taking it serious at all.

I haven't posted in several years and I have been retired from healthcare for 2. I had to log in to let y'all know that nurses are the soldiers on the front line when a bioterrorism attack hits (because that is what COVID-19 is). You all should be r...

You do realize Trump is about to be president right?

How early do you get your schedule? The first off day you have is the day you will spend prepping. Like today is Saturday 2/2. I'm off work Sunday 2/3 and Monday 2/4. I'm going to spend those day preparing for tues-sunday where I will be working dou...

1. Prepare for the days ahead. You don't want to spend excess time at home cleaning and ironing and cooking. 2. GET PROPER SLEEP! As soon as you get in you need to be hitting the sack. 3. Stay hydrated. I didn't believe this this when I was younger...

LAWD HAVE MERCY!!!!

I know most hotels in my city do offer this or have a running agreement with local hospitals.

I just moved closer to my job. Google maps says I am 2.1 miles away.

This thread brought to you by, Animal Assisted Therapy Certificate Program - School of Nursing - Oakland University What happened to the normal days when people just left the dog outside in the yard?

60. 40 scheduled and I always end up staying way over.

How do you feel about RNs being drafted during the next world war?
