    OCNRN63 replied to Elizabeth Hanes's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I used to be a compensated writer for an oncology website (Not chicks venting their emotions). I had to stop for personal issues, but it was wonderful to be paid to write about an area of nursing I...

    My Managers steal from the budget???

    OCNRN63 replied to NTechTruth's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You seem to have an axe to grind against your employer; two negative threads by the same OP. Employers do peruse these forums, and it wouldn't be that difficult to put two and two

    A message to a Adevntist Health System Hospital who doesn't care about staffing

    OCNRN63 replied to NTechTruth's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, since you're not invested in nursing, and being a CNA is nothing but a pit stop for you, I doubt you're going to be taken seriously not just here, but by your managers as

    OCNRN63 replied to NTechTruth's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You don't have a license to lose. We do. It's not a matter of "throwing an education card." Nurses may have fewer patients, but the responsibility is far heavier. Not to mention we're getting...

    OCNRN63 replied to Solnce1981's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You are the OP (Original Poster). It would be helpful if you would use the quote function so we know who you're responding to. For example, if you want to respond to me, click on the "Quote" box....

    Not Enjoying Oncology

    OCNRN63 replied to dass4's topic in Oncology

    I had some transition pains when I changed jobs. I went from knowing what to do almost before it happened to feeling like a new grad. I feel like the patients didn't trust me, and to a degree they...

    Clipping nails at nurse's station

    OCNRN63 replied to tphil0523's topic in Oncology

    I took the exam four years ago and just rectified, so my text was much older. Get the one that's the most recent, but as I sad, the Study Guide gives you a feel for how the questions are asked in the...
