7. RN supervisor put on LPN med cart, feels disrespected

   jadedRN04 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

   Unfortunately, this sounds typical of many LTC facilities. They lure you in with what sounds like a supervisor's position when what they really need are floor nurses. This sounds like a poorly staffed...

13. Multi State License Required

    jadedRN04 replied to recoveringnurse12's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hmmm...I guess that could be a sly way of weeding out those who are in a monitoring program. Not sure. I've not noticed that when looking at local jobs in my state. I do know that a lot of hospitals...
