  1. Ever have a patient complain about you?

    gaonsi replied to love lilacs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    gaonsi replied to rainbowprincess's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    gaonsi replied to Trip_McNeelyRN2b's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    gaonsi replied to tsieberw's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  14. UGH

    gaonsi replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends where you love. Are ADN's getting jobs? If you're in a state like California, go get a bsn. It will make you more competitive when looking for a job. One year is a short amount of...

    gaonsi replied to gaonsi's topic in MICU, SICU

    Thanks everyone for your feedback. I decided to reschedule the test. It seems like most people I know have studied about a month. I'd rather err on the side of caution. $300 is a lot of money to spend...

  22. Bullying in nursing

    gaonsi replied to erwindt's topic in Critical Care
