    Nurses working overtime

    libran1984 replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    I agree with Lindarn also, the RN is the way to go. My 3.76 GPA and 84.5 TEAS test wasn't good enough to get into an RN program so I opt'd for the LPN to tide me over until I can transition. Indiana...

    A landmark decision in my workplace

    libran1984 replied to BlueDevil,DNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    YAY!!! That makes me so happy to hear they're throwing away the patient satisfaction component. While pt satisfaction sounds great in theory, it is abused like the 1-10 pain scale rating and does not...

    Deceptive Offender for Chest Pains

    libran1984 replied to libran1984's topic in Correctional

    libran1984 replied to walkingonthestars's topic in General Nursing

    I want to give major kudos to the user, tyvin, I completely needed to read something like that. I needed to know there were other facilities that had other nurses witnessing bad practice and yet what...
