  1. Holistic Wellness Coaching?

    Mijourney replied to BA.LVN's topic in Holistic

    I agree with the previous poster that if you are licensed as a LVN and want to work as a independent practitioner, you need to check with your board of nursing. I would surmise that a good number of...

  2. Any cons toward accepting a UR position and leaving bedside?

    Mijourney replied to Heartyournurse's topic in Case Management

    RNSAC, congratulations on getting your RN license. I would spend more time trying to get that first clinical job. IMO, it's important to have clinical experience before taking on the responsiblity of...

  3. Work ethic, what's your take on it all

    Mijourney replied to cardiacrocks's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The bottom line is that it's managements' responsibility to take care of business. Staffing of a unit is their business. If employees want to call in for any reason, that falls on management. Yes,...

  4. BSN isn't really needed in TN?

    Mijourney replied to JDougRN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Mijourney replied to ThanksForAllTheFish!'s topic in Nursing Informatics

    Mijourney replied to ivyleaf's topic in Case Management

  7. Limited EHR program experience

    Mijourney replied to ThanksForAllTheFish!'s topic in Nursing Informatics

  9. Is It Just Me?

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in General Nursing

    Mijourney replied to hjs13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. Physician Ordering and Documentation

    Mijourney replied to nungum's topic in Nursing Informatics

  24. does a BSN get you anywhere in informatics?

    Mijourney replied to flossfarmer's topic in Nursing Informatics
