    BSN vs. ADN really does it matter these days?

    Dazglue replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in General Nursing

    Just depends on where you live or work. Here it does not matter what degree you have, we all make the same. We have ADN and a few diploma RN's that are PCC's, managers, and house supervisors. We are a...

    IV certified LVN- Scope of practice

    Dazglue replied to tketels's topic in California Nursing

    day shift vs. night shift *vent*

    Dazglue replied to melmonlove's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Greys Anatomy Scrubs

    Dazglue replied to MJB2010's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Dazglue replied to traumaRNdrama's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    How do you like to be acknowledged at work for a good job done

    Dazglue replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    A simple "Thank you", or "job well done" or a smile. Would be AWESOME if the higher up's just came up to talk to you and say thanks or that we appreciate you. Not that

    Dazglue replied to Dazglue's topic in General Nursing
