    Forest2 replied to LindaGracie's topic in General Nursing

    Forest2 replied to Shauntol3390's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Forest2 replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

    Forest2 replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    The last hospital I worked at if you had a certification you displayed certified with an extra red tag, it was hospital wide. I liked the idea. Where I am now they don't do any at all. Just

    If you feel comfortable in your work place then just go with it ( you got a job there right?). Just because there happens to be fewer minorities doesn't mean they boycott them. If it bothers you so...

  24. Smoking as a bar to nursing - beyond silly

    Forest2 replied to brianbooth's topic in General Nursing

    It is discrimination under the guise of helping people. Help people AND if they are a good candidate, give them a job. One thing though, at least they got rid of requiring nurses to be plain looking...
