You are assuming that all nurses are females.

Yes. Unfortunately, you are the only one. You are starting off on a wrong foot. I am not sure if nursing is for you.

Makes no sense at all. Are you still considering working there?

Why does MQA require that FL nurses submit their CEUs to CEBrokers prior to applying for license renewal? Aren't they just some middleman? License renewal used to be a 1-2-3 process. Now it is complicated process.

please tell us that there is no connection between your thoughts and your action as in what you are thinking and what you are typing. Do you have anything to back up your expert advice?

Dude, what's up with this ridiculous string of "degrees"? Whom are you trying to impress? CNA? LPN? Really?

May I suggest that you try out Utilization Review nurse position where you do not need to do bedside nursing but rather deal with the insurance companies and physicians?

I cannot believe that someone started a thread about flatus. So uncouth.

I am a registered nurse who works as a per-diem nurse in several hospitals in Florida and want to create awareness among the healthcare industry (mostly hospitals) about the plight and silent injustice that is being perpetrated on per-diem nurses sin...

This M.D. once gave me an order to, "Continue same medications that the patient is taking at home." We almost ended up at the Arbitration Board of the hospital.

Hand-sanitizers are a false sense of security. This myth that these products sanitize our hands has been vigorously "hysterisized" (I know there is no such word) by the duo Mr. Proctor & Mr. Gamble.

Ohio LPN, not being uncommon does not mean that it is legal or acceptable. We used to have slavery, segregation, and apartheid in this world and they were not uncommon either. So please don't bring up such arguments, "that it is not uncommon in LTC" ...

Nick, unless you are a JD, I think you posted your comment sitting at the bar (pun intended).

Hi Holly, I'd write an e-mail to H.R. and Risk-Management and copy her on it. Let us know if she is still employed there. RM would immediately see that she is an immense liability to the hospital. You could sue for big $$$.

Good for you.

I have been a registered nurse for almost 2 decades; psychiatry has been me forte. Over the years, varies terminologies have been used for the field of Psychiatry, especially when referring to the nursing unit specializing in Psychiatry. Nothing irks...

Oh please! Don't make it look like 40 is old. Go for it, young lady.

You are going to "PM" her? What does that entail?

Perishable form? What's that?

Dear Nola, It's unclear from your post as to what it is that you don't like about your current job that you are so revulsed by it and feel "nauseaus". Is it the work-load, long shifts, nursing leadership, your coworkers, or plain attitude issue on yo...

On November 23, 2013, I filled out an application form for admission to Florida International University for its ARNP course. Upon successful completion of the form, the website had me pay a fee of $35. Only after my payment was processed, FIU direct...

Dear DoIndia, I think that you have written a great introductory letter which hardly needs any amendment. However, I'd eliminate the word "positive" in the sentence, "I chose nursing because I want to make a positive difference in the lives of people...

Dear VivaLasViejas,Thanks for lifting up the sagging morale of some of us. I wish you the best in your post-nursing, and nascent retirement phase. You have earned it. I vividly recall reading your post about your trials & tribulations in your per...
