Nursing is my second career, I am planning to take NP also, at my age >50, I am also worrying about age discrimination, just inquiry, if NP can be self-employed as a family doctor ? I can't afford retirement as the inflation is so bad;

Most RNs with more than 5 years experience as an RN will take a pay cut for their first NP job. I was 56 when I finished NP school and 57 when I started my first NP job. Had 4 offers and was paid very well. After 1.5 years there, looked for wo...

Thanks for your inspiration story, I will take NP also, my question is: at senior age, is it easy to find employer ?

I an a Canadian nurse, nursing is my second career ( I had a bachelor of science before); I working as a LPN when I raised my son, now I completed ADN, waiting to write NCLEX-RN; in my unit, there are 2 nurse aides way too aggressive toward me and ot...

"Books smarts is winning over skills and experience." In Our unit manager only hire new grads because they are book smart, management want to get ride if the senior staffs to save money;

Hi, I need vent; i have been LPN with AHS for 10years, now our unit started to try nursing care hub, one hub includes 2RN, 1LPN, 1NA; normally 1RN or 1LPN looks after 4 patients, RN's patients more acute, which I think it's reasonable; but now with t...

I have my business, but I need money to expand my business, meanwhile, I need the benefit from AHS; so I still work part time; i have always been a working bee and proud to be that, but I feel working bees were taken advantaged by the management; ne...

Hope this is the last post regarding this care hub; i have always been a working bee since I graduated, but our unit manager Always like nurse good at talking, talking slowing, talking in detail, manager like this kind of good communicator, she alway...

Thinking if your unit is like this: team leader takes 2pts, she/he can choose which pts she/he takes, you and other nurse have to take 5pts every shift, team leader and charge nurse have lots of time to chat regarding their family, their wedding...ki...

If northern hire LPN?

Depressed RN, congrats for your new position

The team leader usually is manager's pet, most of them only work 1-3years, but manager think they can be resources nurse for other team member, I want to ask, I have been nurse 10 yrs, do I need someone with 1-3yrs experience to be my resource nurse?...

If you read fiona59's post, you will know, the team leaders just abuse her team worker by dumping the heavier pt to them.

this is a big issue, team leader assigns the easier pts to herself, dump the heavies to others. ...............................

Our team leaders always chose the 2 easiest patients for herself and left the heavy patients to others because she has the power to do it, but manager never work at the bedside, she will never know this situation;

That's exactly what I will do

Regarding the budget, how can you explain: the team leader only look after 2 patients, in most situation the patients are not so sick, 3 team leaders in every shift, on top of that, there are a charge nurse to contact Doctor;
