    What Else Can I Do For A Living?

    Julius Seizure replied to RNCM123's topic in Nursing Career

    Is this in response to Accolay? Their response wasn't snarky. It was actually pretty good. In fact, a surprising number of people have taken you seriously and given good responses, despite the way...

    Is this considered falsification?

    Julius Seizure replied to MommyRN89's topic in General Nursing

    Addendum, late entry....same difference. As long as whatever is written is true and that it is clear that it was written at a different (later) time/date than whatever it is

    Hospital Ad Campaigns

    Hospital Ad Campaigns

    Reporting for racial slurs/substance abuse

    Julius Seizure replied to guest563546's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    As far as the racial slurs: Its extremely distasteful, I completely agree. BUT, your ideas about racism and nursing should not be used to affect somebody else's employer/employee relationship. I...

    Getting Clean To Be A Nurse

    Julius Seizure replied to cnatobsn17's topic in Nursing Career

    Lets say you get a job waiting tables and they want to drug test you. How would they even know to report you to the board of nursing? You might lose the job but I can't imagine they would go through...

    Dilemma: Wait for RN Residency or Take Job Offer?

    Julius Seizure replied to maridepe's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Never close other doors until you have a job offer in hand. Sure, apply to the residencies but until you get accepted to one - officially, in writing, with a start date - keep doing interviews and...

    I have really bad grade when I first started college and now it's hard fixing them

    Julius Seizure replied to agpholen9219's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you really mean to say that grading should be more lenient for people who have children and/or jobs, than for full time students? That seems incredibly unfair to the latter. They shouldn't be...

    Enteral Feed Rates

    Julius Seizure replied to TheRuskie's topic in General Nursing
