    Will Pharmacy Tech Cert help?

    The person who can answer your first question is the person who is training you. Typically, while it isn't fast food, it isn't much. The answer to your second question is "no". It will not affect...

    Interesting question. I've only seen this title as PART of the RN responsibilities for a specific job. For instance, I am paid as an RN in a specific role, and part of my role IS "Wellness Coach" for...

    Application & criteria

    Based on what I've read in your other posts on another thread, I would encourage NO ONE to waste another moment of their lives on this....and you, as represented here on AllNurses. It's time to pursue...

    Hiring favorability & bias

    This can't be serious. If you're looking for inspiration for a script based on the feedback you're getting here, you're wasting not only your time but that of several other people. I can't speak for...
  7. What LadyFree said. A relative of mine started peppering me with questions a few years back; she was thinking of starting a nursing home for a small number of residents. By being in a large house...

    No experience how to find a job

    You take any job you can. You apply to absolutely every facility that hires LPNs/LVNs, no matter whether you had it on your Dream List or not. Once enough experience is gained, it's much easier to...

    Nursing Shortage & Me...

    You have random people coming up to you and telling you "you know the nursing shortage isn't real right"? How

    Shift Cancellations (Please HELP!!)

    Yeah, I can see your point, but the flip side of that is if a newbie is always being called off first, they aren't likely to stay to become senior staff. They'll go somewhere else where the rotations...

    Legally Protect the word "Nurse?"

    Well.....She didn't say it started with Islam. She just mentioned a Muslim woman who utilized the same tradition, that's

    Legally Protect the word "Nurse?"

    Bingo. And case in point would be that scenario I described awhile back, another thread, where I watched a non-nurse co-worker pick up the phone that was transferred to her....and heard her answer...

    Legally Protect the word "Nurse?"

    If you're taking offense, it means you have greatly misinterpretted what I've written. And for clarification, I have a followup post addressing this same question (I guess you must not have read it...

    Shift Cancellations (Please HELP!!)

    Step One: check with your unit manager to find out if this is POLICY (written in stone) or HABIT ("how we've always done it"). If it's the former, it's time to find more stable employment. If it's...

    Actually, it does sound crazy. Using YouTube to learn skills is a great way to learn to do things wrong. How do you know the video you're watching is what your facility wants you to do? I've seen...

    How nice for Dr. Jones that he owns his very own nurse.....while everyone else has to share

    Legally Protect the word "Nurse?"

    I think where you're getting hung up is on the definition of a credential: A BSN is a degree, RN is a license. LPN is a license; there is no degree for that. You said "lawyer is a...

    Legally Protect the word "Nurse?"

    Completely different scenario, and of course not a problem for anyone. Now, if she was holding this class as an open-to-the-public one, then yes, it'd be a problem: some would think that some in that...
