    What are the best kind of nursing jobs for an RN BSN?

    But what do you do if the best paying job isn't the one that is most "advanced"? What do you choose if the "advanced" nursing job offers a lower salary because everybody wants to work there, so they...

    Heparin IV Error? So Upset and Scared

    Goodness gracious my dear, it's okay! You are being really hard on yourself. Listen to the nurses around you - the charge nurse, the nurse who co-signed the order, your former preceptor....they are...

    Private loans for poor credit

    I have to say, I cringe at the thought of you adding debt at a bad interest rate at the age of 47. You may never get out of that hole. But if you are determined, have you already considered getting...

    Intrusive application questions!

    Just burst into fake tears and tell them "I've been trying to get pregnant for the last seven years but the doctors say it will probably never happen." And then fake cry so hard that they can't even...

    Issues with BON re: probated license

    I don't have any experience or insight into your situation, but I hope that you find some helpful information! As a side note, are you sure that "probated" is the right term? I think that has to do...

    Which Area Has the Most Compassionate Nurses

    I dunno about pediatrics in general, but I wouldn't count on PICU avoiding the behaviors that OP described. Unfortunately, those attitudes and behaviors are still found there - towards both patients...

    Intrusive application questions!

    It seems like every job I've had in my life, as time has progressed, has become more and more intrusive in the info that it asks. The last one had a two page check list of potential...

    HIPPA violation if the patient isn't in your facility?

    Still not a HIPAA violation even if you are receiving care at her facility. HIPAA has to do with the protection of medical information by your healthcare providers and clinics, hospitals, etc. It...

    MedSurg... with no clinical?

    Wow. I honestly thought that a certain number of hours was required to sit for the NCLEX! Does this mean that one could become a nurse without actually doing any clinicals in those

    question re suit

    Second interview can be a little more dressed down. If your black pants are work-appropriate slacks and look okay, wear those with a nice (different) shirt. Alternatively, wear the pants from the blue...

    The mile run-- hold me!

    It seems like sometimes school gym class is so focused on forcing the kids to exert themselves, since it might be the only exercise they get all day. I kind of wish the focus was more on discovering...
