    Horseshoe replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    For one thing, telling her that no one else but you knows what they are talking about is beyond arrogant and simply untrue. And so what if MDs have over 300K in debt? Many of them are drowning in...

    Horseshoe replied to CodeQueenRN22's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Horseshoe replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

  12. How many med errors to lose your license?

    Horseshoe replied to Bakingismylife's topic in General Nursing

    No one here can answer that question, and I doubt the BON could either, as there is no fixed number of med errors that would result in termination of license. If it was serious enough and negligent...

  16. Favouritism in nursing school!

    Horseshoe replied to Greeneyednurse1228's topic in General Students

    If you'd gotten an award, I guarantee there would be some disgruntled peers who would be complaining that you didn't deserve it. Your jealousy is unbecoming, and if you are like this in other areas...

    Horseshoe replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    This formula says you should have about 80% of your annual salary available in retirement. So if you make $100K per year, you should have about 2 million dollars saved to accomplish that goal. The...

    Horseshoe replied to Nurselyfe92's topic in General Nursing

    Good point, and that would be a great thread here or in the student section. "Nurses cooking beautiful meals on a budget"! I'd love to know how you did that on $50 bucks a week. And I always love a...
