A nurse being an independent contractor is a great idea. I have met nurses who do this, and they make $40 to $50 an hour. They each obtained a business license, registered as a P.C., and purchased...

Olright Kday... And I am saying this jokingly. As a straight male nurse, wearing a gay white nursing cap on my head would be a little much. I did work at a place requiring an all white uniform....

As previously stated, you use basic algebra, actually, more like pre-algebra to perform drug calculations. You do not really use anything more advanced like graphing parabolas, using slope formula,...

First of all, student loans, student loans, student loans. Paying out of pocket is way too much responsibility to attend a nursing school whose programs are almost always full time. If you earn...
I am an LPN but still a professional. Suzy, I owe you an apology. I believe that you were honestly and innocently wondering why people choose to be an LPN as opposed to being an RN. Out of respect...
I would love to be an FNP in a level one or two ER working with a diverse patient population making $70,000 to $80,000/yr. Although this sounds obtainable, in AZ, I have yet to see an ER hire an NP...
Chris: How would you know if not being an RN first hindered your ability any? You have never really been a seasoned RN. RN's do the treatments and give the meds that the docs order, and therefore...

First of all, the question is hypothetical. If I were an RN, I would want $50,000 a year, as many "professionals" are paid that sum and then some. 9 to 10 % wage increases maxing out at $75,000 a...
"Whew! It took all that for you to answer!" Condescending tone again I think!!! Are you people blind? Can you not read? Susy K. was and is being rude, and continues to perpetuate the negative...
I am not trying to add fuel to a fire here but would honestly like to know-where can an LPN push any IV meds? Not in our scope of practice the last time I checked.I can certainly start IV's-hang...
Again, RN's and LPN's do very much the same job except for a few subtlties. For example, I passed all the meds and gave all the shots on the floor while the RN had to do those oh-so-difficult...
Susy, You are indeed being condescending to the individuals who posted their quotes. Iris was responding to CLO's comment, which was rude, unprofessional, and hurtful, not yours. Secondly,...
