    Obama Care and how will it affect nursing salary and pay

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to vcoronel127's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree that nursing is evolving, and that there will not be near as much need for nurses in hospitals in the future. I think parish and community nursing is looking at a huge

    Not the OP, but I'll answer. It would not have mattered to me who it was, "Hey" is usually all anyone gets from me until noon. I will not just stop what I'm doing and make an effusive greeting every...

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with all of the "stop what you are doing and welcome the newcomer" stuff. I'm a professional, and it sounds as if in this instance, the professional was otherwise engaged. I'm strongly in...

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any problem with what the CNA is doing here, in principle. It isn't acute care. If patients and family members can administer, so can CNAs. And we all know if we randomly picked 10,...

    Would you commute an hour to a job you wanted?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to nursebythesea's topic in General Nursing

    Dermatology vs Retail Health????

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

    OP: I'd take the derm job, but I'm not interested in money particularly although I understand that is a privilege not many people enjoy. If that $800 a month makes that much of a difference to you, I...

    Are nurses allowed to have facial piercings?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to cascadingbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't hire a nurse with visible piercings or facial jewelry. My staff represents me, and that is not the image I am looking to put forward. I doubt I'm the only one who feels this way, or in...
