  1. Advice for an older RN going back for FNP

    RNBSN1000 replied to abva17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    RNBSN1000 replied to tokmom's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    RNBSN1000 replied to tokmom's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    RNBSN1000 replied to tokmom's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    "It never ceases to amaze me, how nurses can be against rewarding the effort to earn a higher college degree, and turn it into a debate about, 'outcomes". It is not about outcomes, it is about...

  16. Not taking a break

    RNBSN1000 replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

    I get interrupted most "lunch breaks". If it's a short call from PT, I let it slide. Anything greater than that I clock out "no lunch". The RN "watching" my patients really can't watch 4 ICU...
