we all know that in past, and unto this day in some cases, hospitals have hired foreign nurses without considering USA nurses because they could do so at a favorable wage differential and under conditions that made the foreigner dependent on the empl...

link to contacting your congress-people. http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml it should be noted that the house bill in question provided grants to USA nursing schools, but that the bill was heavily weighted to immigrant advantage. nothing in it ...

you should be calling ICE (immigration and customs enforcement) to report the name and contact information of the so-called caregiver and the nurse who referred her to you. they are in violation of federal law, and the "caregiver" on visitor visa is ...

strategy in such situation depends on totality of variables. in a one on one situation in an unobserved room where threat of physical violence is displayed superior force is the resolution, by any means necessary, as grievous bodily harm is inferably...

lying on your original resume is "material misrepresentation". some employers may let you get away with that, but not many. claiming to have a degree and backing down on the claim when asked to present proof is evidence of deceptive character. I'm no...

there are dozens of questions a potential employer may not ask you, under the current law. this is your chance to answer them. employers are looking for stability in an applicant's life, which is an indicator of stability in employment. if you have a...

the semesters you spend in nursing school may seem to be under-credited. this is common, as nursing credits require more work to achieve than gen-ed credits. do not stack more work on yourself because a semester is "only worth 8 credits". you will be...

physical competency is a reasonable requirement for nursing. saying that it is not, and then working in such a manner as to invalidate it is a significant component in the reduction of quality of patient care that we have seen within recent decades. ...

you're in our 40's? learning new skills? think about how that works for a minute. new synaptic connections need to be created. this takes longer, requiring more repetitions as we age. a man in his 40's is going to learn slower than a man in his 20's....

this is one of the big double standards in nursing. lots of female nurses cannot pass a 50 pound test, much less a 150 pound test. lots of female nurses continue to work late in pregnancy, unable to lift at all. maybe the 95 pound 22 year old new gra...

there are already too many people in place who can order a temporary restraint/evaluation. we don't need to add more to the list.

attachment disorder is generally associated with children. your term, adult attachment disorder, seems to refer to persons who have a similar condition, but at a later age and stage of development. perhaps it is given to describe what a child with at...

psychologists have noted that persons who perceive that they have some responsibility for a traumatic event are statistically more likely to develop PTSD than those who have experienced a similar event without perception of responsibility. some examp...

here is a 10 year old 5th circuit court case that spells out the H1-b issue in terms of nursing applicants. in this case the applicants were denied because the position does not require bachelors. so, despite the hospitals and nursing homes full of f...

that's funny. most cases i have heard of used H1-b for nursing, rather than EB-3. trouble is, the degree equivalent the person has is not the deciding factor. whether the position requires the degree is the key. most nursing roles in USA can be occup...

nursing under H1-b is in retrogression, so you cannot come to USA under H1-b, which would also require that you be hired into a specialty position that requires a bachelors degree. H1-c is ancient history. F1- RN thru OPT is also a sham. OPT is inte...

many nursing clinical segments do not allow recording because of hippa violation concerns. other classes do not allow for various reasons. it is all up to the discretion of the instructor or program director.

i don't know of any hospital in which tattoos are tolerated. they must be concealed in all cases. in most cultures tattoos are reserved to the criminal element. USA is one of the few 1st world countries in which they are common outside the criminal ...

that's the beauty of the internet. you never know exactly who you are talking to at any given moment unless they tell you, and even then it's not a certainty. some of us do frequent police forums. they are a wonderful view into the minds of certain t...

this is not something i would write on a public message board. receiving gratification by causing pain to another is not generally accepted in the medical field. tasing people may have relieved your stress in the moment, at the cost of cruel and inh...

tasers were designed to immobilise people who were an immediate threat to themselves or others. sadly, they have of late been used more to gain compliance than to prevent injury. even more sadly, they have on many occasions resulted in the unnecessa...

my fingers were on the keyboard before i read your last sentence. warped sense of humour, though highly accurate.

good luck with your marriage and family life.

the long and short of it is that once the patient is discharged you are no longer in a caregiver role. as such it is inappropriate to continue to act as though you are. if you bump into a former patient on the street and they want to talk shop you ne...

my grandmother used to say that whenever someone gets something they didn't earn, someone earned something they didn't get.
