    Ethics question.

    I live by the motto "Caveat Emptor". "Let the buyer beware". I don't think there need to be additional (or any) disclaimers if someone is being paid or not being paid; if I see them smiling from a...

    VA Nurse Salary

    You've misunderstood, I was referring to working 8's OUTSIDE of VA, which is what the person I was responding to was comparing to. When I said "I now prefer my 8's AND getting A LOT more PTO than I...

    Multi-state Licenses

    No. You apply to one State, whichever one you expect to begin working would make the most sense. That State BoN will then issue the authorization that allows you to take the NCLEX. Upon finishing...

    Nursing shortage

    For a new grad, no. For a hard-to-fill experienced specialty employee, or equally hard-to-fill in management? Sometimes yes. With a lot of applicants for run-of-the-mill positions who are right...

  13. Mostly, I think I do it because they are trying to ease their anxiety any way they can (for good reason) but what they usually ACTUALLY do raises it up a notch! I just hate seeing people torn up for...

    Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest
