I found this interview on Medscape Nurses between Paul Offit, MD and Eric Topol, MD very informative about the current status for our Co-Vid vaccines and trials. Dr. Offit is the director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Phi...

I've tried American Association of Critical Care Nurses' site - excellent quality of materials. Two courses were free, but other course are charged, unless you have membership in AACN, in which case they are free. Clinical Resources on AACN

Those of us who are older nurses will surely remember President Ronald Reagan's classic 1984 presidential debate comment, when grilled about his age precluding his being able to do the work, "I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue ...

Lucky we live Hawaii. I'm not commenting on vacation time here, but Hawaii has 15 official state holidays - we get to take all the national holidays plus Prince Kuhio, King Kamehameha, and Hawaii Statehood Day. Not to mention that living in Hawaii ...

Fayassin, I'm very sorry to hear you had that experience, and despite being Caucasian myself, I've had that experience. I learned to see it as my chance to see how discrimination feels-- I know it isn't the same as facing that regularly, but it hel...

I would like to second Brownbook's phrase - those two words simply don't belong together! How about sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia, meaning ice cream headache or brain freeze. That is one to scare a poor patient.

Joy, thank you for your beautiful article. It really does sum it up - "You never know what God has planned." Your patients are in good hands to have such a compassionate and open minded nurse.

This discussion reminded me of Reagan. In the Reagan/Mondale debates of 1984, the moderator asked Reagan, "President Kennedy had to go for days on end with very little sleep during the Cuban missile crisis. Is there any doubt in your mind that you...

Beautifully said, Kelly Johnson. You have made a very moving tribute to what nurses can do in the lives of others. I completely agree that nursing is a talent, and your monologue showed nursing at its best. Best wishes in your career. Sue Salisbu...

I am sorry to hear about what you are going through and I agree with all the comments above - you scrambled to make up for a plan that clearly might not be able to include you, and that was generous of you. And it was probably an important event for...

It must be so emotionally difficult to be fighting for your life, find yourself in the midst of a public relations maelstrom, and be worried about and maybe separated from your family, friends, and loved ones. On top of that, you just dedicated your...

Congratulations on a great career choice. Challenging question, but I think for me it would be to realize after you learn all you can in school, another essential type of education is going to start as soon as you get your first job and are taking n...

Great story, great advice, and your patients are fortunate to have such a creative nurse! Aloha, Sue Salisbury Maui Hawaii

Thank you for serving. I would love to hear of your experiences once you get settled. Nurses sure have the chance to lead good lives. Take care and glad you are home. Aloha, Sue Salisbury Maui Hawaii

Mikolagarde, Sounds like a tough occupational nursing job, but challenging and interesting. It sounds like you are largely doing this already with the education topics you mentioned, but seems if it is clear to management and workers that your prima...

Congratulations, and welcome to a great profession! You obviously did so well on your first 85 questions, no need to waste your time with more! Sue Salisbury Maui Hawaii

ConstanceC, I got my BSN from what at the time was New York Regents External Degree Program out of Albany NY. The school is now called Excelsior College. The nursing programs are acredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission ...

HI Meg86an, from what I've read of the NCLEX result processing, some states let you get "Quick Results" which are available 2 days after testing. I found this process detailed on the NCSBN website (National Council of State Boards of Nursing). http...

keq, do you know for sure that your panic attacks are related to your enrollment in an FNP program? You probably know that there is a whole list of medical conditions that can mimic panic attacks, from cardiac dysrhythmias to endocrine disorders to ...

Hi Mauler, I don't have any experience with this type of nursing career in Canada, but there is an organization in Canada, Canadian Occupational Health Nurses Association, Inc. They have a good website you may want to take a look at: Canadian Occup...
