    How to ask questions...

    Morningland, but if you knew then you wouldn't need a refresher. You'd just do it. The reality is that you're unsure or can't remember which isn't a BAD thing. I think sometimes nurses act like they...

    How to ask questions...

    I would ask because the truth is if you DID "know your stuff" in regards to that procedure, you wouldn't have to ask. But that's okay. You can't be expected to know everything. So you ask. One day you...

    Travel Nursing While in Graduate School

    Only African American Nurse on Staff

    Mhusen, my first thought was to report it until I read that the supervisor called her an *******. Who does that in a managerial position? That's the thing about the environment she's working in.the...

    Never again with Cross Country TravCorps

    Only African American Nurse on Staff

    I was thinking the same thing. What supervisor opens their mouth to say that? Absolutely no class and to put that in quote is not you "being

    Only African American Nurse on Staff

    I can feel the angst. I actually almost got a panic attack again just thinking about. This is the kind of thing I experienced in college and sensed in college and never wanted to experience again. I...

    Tax Season!

    Floating for 1st assignment?

    Lol I wouldn't mind it if there wasn't so much charting todo for each patient. When you have to chart a full head to toe assessment in addition to write a plan of care note for each and every 4 hrs...

    MedStar Washington Job

    Well, to start, if you don't get your license it's forfeit and your manager usually tells you that up front. I don't work on the stroke unit, but Medstar Washington Hospital Center is a GREAT place...

    I'm planning of buying my own insurance before taking on this venture but I was told by a recruiter that this tends to be pretty expensive. From what I've seen for the kind of insurance I want, the...

    purchasing your own health insurance

    I think that's why I'm leaning towards PPO. I want more flexibility. I'm going to assumed they're subsidized as they're not from an employer. I'm trying to find something so that when I take time off...
