   I couldn't agree more and I can't help thinking if it were a male dominated profession, how different it would be. I just don't understand why it is that a group of educated women can't set down...

   Unfortunately, the State is usually going to side with the business interest over that of the employees, as they tend to share a mutual interest. Which was the point of my previous post. The more...

   I'm not exactly certain where to start, but since you decided to unload on my particular specialty with both barrels, start I will. I'm interested in what exactly you might consider your own...

   The only problem with having an internship on nights is that there are far less procedures and therefore less learning opportunities in your average hospitals, then than there are on 3 to 11 and...

   It has been lingering in the conversation, but never really said out loud, those Nurses who try to fast track themselves and skip over as many steps as they possibly can, are doing THEMSELVES a grave...

   LadyFree28, You almost made that sound as if it was something hard to believe. At any rate, I applaud your efforts to achieve your own goals in your own manner and not allowing roadblocks to be put in...

    I'm afraid this is turning into a discourse where some of us will simply have to agree to disagree. I will never agree that a new grad should be allowed to cut their teeth in an intensive care unit...

    I couldn't disagree with you more. Perhaps that is true in some facilities, but it is the absolute worst mistake they could make. Hiring only warm bodies instead of the best candidates, they can...

    I agree completely. What baffles me is while all of this is going on; some of those same nurses are trying to be assigned to the specialty units. If they aren't yet fully qualified to work on...
