    Double Major with Nursing / Nursing with Spanish Minor?

    inthecosmos replied to Carlos03558's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There have been a handful of job postings I've seen where being bilingual was a preference or requirement for nurses. Public health clinics may need that more than the hospital. Most organizations...

    inthecosmos replied to jodispamodi's topic in General Nursing

    Is late or lack of Documentation a reason for fireability?

    inthecosmos replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Nursing

    Repackaging Medications

    inthecosmos replied to Pinupnurse76's topic in General Nursing

    As everyone as mentioned, it sounds more appropriate to figure out why and educate. Most people aren't doing things incorrectly on purpose. I don't believe suspension is warranted if it has never been...
