  1. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    dld replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I must say, I never believed any of this paranormal stuff until I had been a nurse for many years. I always thought of myself as rational, logical and scientific, not someone who believes in ghosts!...

  2. Mandating CRRN Certification

    dld replied to MNlpn's topic in Rehabilitation

    The crrn exam is hard! I studied for months and passed, but I didn't feel very confident about it. Your manager is probably seeking CARF accredidation which requires a minimum percentage of certified...

  7. What should I wear to hospital interviews?

    dld replied to mandana's topic in General Nursing

  8. Co-workers on allnurses...

    dld replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    It is better to vent, than to keep it inside. Othewise it will come out when you really don't want it to. Every nurse I know vents about management, pts, co-workers, MDs. Its better to do it here...

  9. Union or non-union?

    dld replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    California Nurses Association has been great for us in terms of improving practice and benefits. It is frustrating to see the game playing between the hospital and the union. The members often don't...
