  1. Combat Medical Badge (CMB) as a credential?

  2. Sounds like the VA
  3. Yes, yes, yes. Thanks to all of the nurses who have so professionally and eloquently stated the obvious concerns after reviewing the evidence. I was appalled at the ANA statement supporting RV after the verdict. We are all aware of the potential pat...

    Yes, it is called the final salute.

  9. Radonda Vaught Trial

    I love this. This is the most thoughtful and intelligent comment that I have seen in several days.
  10. Radonda Vaught Trial

    Agreed. She gave an interview where she was smiling inappropriately and was quite condescending when referring to the prosecution team. She also used the s word as well as the f word. She is a disgrace to the nursing profession and it seems obvious ...
  11. COVID-19: Vaccination Administration Question

    We have recently administered the Pfizer COVID vaccines and it was a complicated process as far as reconstitution and administration. There were 5 doses per vial and once the vial was reconstituted it was only good for 2 hours. Once it was drawn up...

  15. MSN - Education 2019

    I am anticipating that it will take me 3 terms. I started in January. Completed RN to BSN at WGU December of 2019 so I am familiar with the structure of WGU.

  19. Can’t a nurse be fired?

    You are a VA nurse.
  20. I am thinking of going back to 12hrs shifts, either night or day. I am working mon thru fri 8 hours plus with a one and one half commute home. I am a manager and rarely work just 8 hours. I have worked evenings, nights and weekends and do not get...

  22. Job Opportunity or Relationship

    VA was not for me but it does offer the opportunity to transfer and I might even return to the VA if it were San Francisco. There are 2 VA hospitals in the DC area as well as Walter Reed and a few other government facilities where you could transfer...
  23. Getting My Graduate Degree: Is it Worth It?

    I will soon finish RN to BSN at WGU and plan to continue for MSN. I am 60 years old. WGU is an excellent school and very affordable. To imply that on- line education is inferior is old fashioned thinking.
  24. Can you recommend a RN to BSN school to RN to MSN ?

    WGU
  25. Actually, the robotic point ,scan, and administer technique has greatly discouraged the critical thinking process related to giving meds in my opinion. I have noticed this in nurses who never given meds pre BCMA. I still have the same process ;the ...
