I will have my MSN from WGU this summer, and I chose the school because of its non-profit status and because it requires REAl work to get a degree---they are NOT for sale, like many online schools. Can't speak to the credits transfering or not, as I ...

No one EVER sends me a Mother's Day card......waaaahhhh I'm offended!!! Have we turned into such socialists that anyone who stands above the crowd must be mowed down to size????

I would start keeping notes ASAP....dates, times, and names of others present. Ver BAtim. For every missed med, an incident report. This sort of pit bull cannot respond to kindness...he gets his rocks off being a "bad dude". Clearly, he will leave th...

Ortho floor, I gather!

HATE SPEECH??? I do believe the frigid north has made you and many of your fellows delusional. Thankfully, here in the US, we refuse to be cowed by political correctness......and have the right to express an opinion that hasn't been vetted by t...

Thankfully, here in the US, we are still allowed to have and express opinions. "Hate Speech" ? ! ? And with a straight face??? We are not that socialist and crazily PC (yet......)

Well, after the doc nicked my bladder during a colon resection, I had the fun of a Foley for 6 weeks while the area healed. Can't say that it was "fun".....but it DID allow me to sleep through the night, something my aging prostate does not permit m...

LPN's know the "how to". RN's know the "why". *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ (......and if I ever ask an LPN about becoming an RN, it is because s/he seems to be bright and motivated. It is a co...

You could add a short phrase about "I am not at a stage in my life to give this position the attention it deserves" ....but in your own words. It is the job equivalent of "It's not YOU, its ME!"

Not to mention the application test.....just have my capstone to finish (MSN/Education)

I understand your point...mine was that standards are WAAYYYY different for officers, who must hold higher clearences EVEN to be in a medical field. Any officer in any branch of service doing this must be an expert at flying under the radar.....A b...

[quote=edmia;7166267 I do think she's a little unrealistic about her future though. She wants to be a travel nurse after graduation and then go into the army? Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com The military will not commission an officer who is...

"I'm smarter than you and the Unit Manager put together, but I promise to look dumb when you are around so I don't make you feel bad. ...and I enjoy leaving the toilet seat UP."

I am willing to give patients the benefit of the doubt, but have zero tolerance with family members who are out of line. I am a big boy, and 99% of the time I can tell worry/grief/fear from being an obnoxious pig. Sadly, many Americans really do th...

I'm waiting for the Jenny McCarthy crowd to chime in any second now, since we have already mentioned "heavy metals" and the old stand-by of "I got the flu from my (attenuated) flu vaccine."

Thank you. Our little friend who is so enamoured of home health might want to include a plan on how is is going to be PAID FOR!! Whether an infant, a pet, or an elderly family member, one-on-one care is ALWAYS more expensive than communal care, and...

If you haven't had the "fun" of this bug, you don't understand the body aches and joint pain on top of the GI symptoms! And it wouldn't be Christmas in my family if someone, or usually EVERYONE, wasn't sick as a dog....it is as much of a tradition a...

Normally I would feel badly for you, but trust me---your coworkers would RATHER have worked a 72-hour week than catch this nasty, disgusting bug! If anyone can figure out how to avoid a virus that just needs to visit you with a handful of friends to ...

Snort! I had a similar complaint from an old gentleman with "turrrible vagina" who took "TNT" for the pain (somewhere he confused medical nitrogycerin with the "blow stuff up" kind!)

Sorry for your state of wishing for death. I had Noro four years ago, starting during a week I had scheduled to be VERY light so I could study for upcoming speciality boards. Fetal position and sobbing really scared my SO half to death. Ten days l...

No med tech is ever working off of MY license, I gar-un-TEEE you!

Sorry you had to learn this the hard way, but most out-of-control, out-of-compliance patients with ANY chronic disease have personality disorders....which is why they wind up blind, with a BKA, or trach, etc. You will this patient again and again, i...

A new LPN down here is lucky to see $28-30K annual pre-tax, btw. But, we don't have a state income tax...just sky high rates on OTHER taxes.

You can ALWAYS outspend your income, no matter how HIGH it is! The trick is knowing a want from a need and staying out of debt. Having said that.......$$$$ alone is a p-poor reason for becoming a nurse, or anything else for that matter.

Brother, you beat me to the punch! I was going to say that the corollary to "If if isn't documented it wasn't done" is "If you don't have an offer in writing....you don't have an offer"!
