    Nursing home state surveyor general tips please!

    Paramedic Experience beneficial?

    EMT-B to EMT-P to RN ADN to BSN here and I still think of myself as a paramedic, it will always be my first love. To answer the OP's question, did my medic training help my nursing career?...

    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    Yeah, I don't see anyone here supporting a "certain" corporation. There are a few people such as myself who are not falling into line and posting what she wants to hear, so therefore we must be in...

    ADN or BSN?

    I had an ASN because I bridged from paramedic and that was what was offered. I started on my BSN immediately after graduation. Life happened and it took me another 10 years to find the time to...

    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    I respectfully-and I do mean that- disagree. Someone who is smart enough to survive nursing school and pass the NCLEX should be able to understand what a contract means, and what the ramifications...

    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    OP signed a contract, OP broke said contact, OP owes money, OP feels they were treated unfairly. This is not a new story, and not restricted to nursing. Someday over coffee I'll tell you the story...

    What a nightmare scenario. I applaud you having the guts to stand in front of those inspectors and tell them what was going on. ((virtual hugs

    Nurse forced to work as a tech/CNA

    Good gravy, I used to love being scheduled as a tech while getting paid a nurse's wage. No responsibilities, the chance to spend time doing basic care...nice. You can choose to look at it from a...

  21. Alas, it's not legally valid as far as a DNR but since I'm a bit of a practical joker I'd hope to make the post mortem team startle then chuckle a bit. I'll wait right here for the expected post...
