    Nearly $5 million will go to train new Arizona nurses

    Asystole RN replied to StanleyFields24's topic in Nursing Career

    Nursing is not easy and jobs are not plentiful. If you want to be a nurse it requires a deep passion for helping people and a devotion that cannot be shaken. Nursing school is difficult and nursing...

    Veins vs. Arteries

    Asystole RN replied to larniegrl's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    To cannulate an artery is actually not very easy, well at least when placing unguided peripheral IVs. The tunica media for arteries is much thicker than veins and is usually not as easy to pierce, let...

    Giving two week notice...

    Asystole RN replied to Jess_Missouri_RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Although technically this would satisfy the requirement for a 2 week notice, it is profoundly unprofessional and likely subject to argument. If you wish to leave your current employer under adverse...

    Should penmanship be a mandatory course for physicians?

    Asystole RN replied to DichloroacetateAl's topic in General Nursing

    Cursive is only hard to read by those who are uneducated in cursive. It is like saying that typing is too hard. It is only difficult to those who do not know how to type in the first place. Those of...
