   i am and ex-medic who let his cert. expire. When I graduated from nursing school i wanted to get my cert back. They said, I could get licensure only if I had my BSN. Otherwise I'd have to take a paramedic class, then challenge the state board. I live...

   gustercc replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in General Nursing

   YEAH dude, what everyone is saying is right. Working in a prison, do you fear retaliation from co-workers afterward? I can completely understand that. No one likes a stoolie. Guards can be like cops, tight, like a brotherhood. The rest of the facul...

   I used to work in the service industry (you can semantically argue, I still do) and some places went out of business because bad customer service. But has anyone ever heard of a hospital going out of business because of bad customer service. Other t...
