    Did you always want to be a nurse?

    wish_me_luck replied to Divest's topic in General Nursing

    No, when I was in K-12, I changed my mind so many times. I must add that none of my choices, except a veternarian, were anything in healthcare. When I went to college, that's when I realized that I...

    wish_me_luck replied to tmjRN's topic in Public, Community Health

    Look on your state's website for job listings at the health department. I am planning on getting my MPH and I am excited. That's usually what public health employers are looking for because it teaches...

    wish_me_luck replied to Eirene's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh my, Life_is_good, that is so expensive for everything. Are psych areas generally okay with hiring health care providers in monitoring programs? Eirene, sorry, for asking that in your thread....

    Nursing and mandatory vaccines.

    wish_me_luck replied to Summerlove1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    From what I understand, it is not babies having sex or shooting drugs. Of course they can't do that. It goes back to the mother not being honest about whether she has it. It is prophylaxis and if the...

    List of products that do not have alcohol

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I look at everything I use to make sure there's no alcohol. If the soap says perfume but doesn't list the ingredients, can I use it? I have found products that there's nothing with alcohol or ethanol...

    wish_me_luck replied to kcmylorn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Someone might have to explain this to me. But here's what I thought this was about. I, initially, thought that they were saying if a patient was re-admitted due to being discharged too soon (Medicare...

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just curious. I miss nursing terribly; but it helps to know that soon I will have a chance to try to look for a job in it. Until then, I will have to put in for part time jobs (which I actually fully...
