Yes. Some real bad stuff was about to drop so he needed an extra-large distraction Wonder how long Trump can continue his apparent pattern of declaring emergencies so he can play out his dictator fantasies for however long it takes for the courts to stop him.

It seems like a straightforward question-- I would have thought so too. The problems often relate to the state where you intend to be employed, scope of practice considerations. and a fair amount of argument from professional associations pro and con related to supervision and patient safety. It gets pretty heated at times based on the discussions we've had here. I've read many posts regarding the "you can't work below your license". I don't know whether that's true or not. Last time I looked into that topic they basically stated that you can be legally employed to perform duties which would be considered within the scope of your license to practice, depending on whether you relinquished your license or it's on "inactive" status (you still pay fees) Having worked in clinics for years with licensed nurses and MAs I absolutely respect the skills in their roles, which while within the nurse scope of practice aren't typically included in nursing programs. In small clinics you're likely to encounter many "learn on the job" procedures. I found that I enjoyed learning how to do allergy testing for example. Anyway, I hope this gives you a place to start. All the best.

His nutty reply there I'm pretty sure he made up on the spot. I'll wager he's not going to do anything except to continue to spin his fantasies as other autocrats have done but without a large scale model of the proposed monument to himself. You would think this might evince the slightest skepticism from those who are hearing his narcissistic nonsense unspool yet again. Maria Shriver's post was spot-on. None of the lawsuit threats became lawsuits They were convinced they would lose most likely.

Would that be considered unusual behavior for a prosecutor? If you look into the Iran-Contra scandal and what Lawrence Walsh and his associates were doing in pursuit of Reagan officials and in quite a number of the Watergate related proceedings you will see the same thing. Cassidy Hutchinson related a similar feeling of pressure when she was being represented free-of-charge by someone in the Trump orbit.

Aye aye Cap'n Grumpy! The streamlining of the procedure is much appreciated! ??

Yes, I'm still logged in computer and out of android phone. I'll just keep it that way for now. Looking on the bright side of life, at least (whispering) Joe V. has not gone the mandatory 2-step verification route when the site (not allnurses) itself is not all that bulletproof. Yes, I get cranky when I look for my password, having hid it from myself or coded it or something, am unable to find it, finally give up and reset the password, and now you want to send a code to my phone? arrggghhh

Hi Hippiemama! First, congrats on the birth of your fourth baby! I faced a similar situation with a much longer "mommy track" but financial woes made a job mandatory at the time, so I took a deep breath and jumped in the water. I had kept my license on inactive status (meaning in my state you continue to pay fees but don't need to take the NCLEX-PN over again, just the CE requirements) While that simplified things my knowledge base was so out of date I was overwhelmed. My textbooks were in a box in the attic I think. What ended up working for me was to just start filling out applications and doing interviews. Even a job you think is a no-go can be the one where you just click with the staff and they're willing to help get you up to speed. Instead of trying to relearn everything (unless you need to take the entire licensing exam again), I did very targeted online research relating to each specific interview. While I ended up in private duty for vent patients due to the more flexible schedule, I had a job offer on the front burner at a nearby cancer hospital as well. Lastly, I needed to be honest with myself about my family support system in terms of meshing the non-negotiable realities of being a parent and each job or unit you are considering. It can be tempting to downplay that if everything else about the job seems positive. All the best!

Hi lavachicken! I'm not a school nurse, but I have experience in pediatrics. First, I think it would be a good idea to shadow the nurse at your son's school if you can. There are a group of school nurses posting pretty regularly Their complaints usually involve clashes with adults = teachers, parents and administrators rather than the children. A while back the admins started a project in which allnurses members would write articles about their particular specialty for people who are considering whether or not it would be a good fit for them. A good place to start... School Nursing: Everything You Need to Know

Where is the told you so part? He's talking about what he would do if he were a defense attorney and this was a trial. Obviously her free-wheeling conjecture would be ripped apart if he was in the role of Trump's defense attorney.

Of course we should know the answers to those questions, because people have been alarmed over the delayed public disclosure of very serious conditions kept under wraps while that person was still in office, and the American people deserve to know if the person they elected has a mental or physical impairment that could affect the performance of the duties of that office. There seemed to be a consensus on that policy, probably because it was the best choice for the governance of the country as a whole. Trump isn't concerned about that. Trump is concerned about Trump. He's surrounded by concentric rings of loyalists and sycophants including many in the media, who frankly don't seem to think his behavior is all that bad. They continue to do things like put Stephen Miller on TV when they know ahead of time exactly what he's going to say. Stonewalling and spouting one absurd lie after another is what he will continue to do, because it works for him.

I just saw this trending as well. I've been checking in infrequently, too. I still get email notices for long-running threads, which is why I saw your post. I always read posts from you and some of the other very crusties replying here. A few weeks ago I realized I crossed the 20 year membership mark last June (eek).... I wasn't sure if I should stop posting or write a retrospective which would absolutely be about people, not the practical or procedural aspects of this career, although that is what brought me here in the first place. I'm still fuming that during one of the overhauls they deleted all my "likes". Anyway, all the best to you, Emergent!

I agree, fairly generic terminology and accuracy, maybe check facility policy -- with changes for specific patient as needed...not seeing the problem. In the age of Grammarly especially (kidding somewhat). Checklists and flowchart documentation replaced lots of laborious printing. Yay!

People magazine is usually pretty straightforward imo, even though it's an anonymous person describing the incident. I wouldn't mind having Dr. Oz around if myself or others crumpled to the ground. But I thought he proved there's a real doctor inside the TV doctor. Insider Explains Where RFK Jr. Was Really Going When He Ran Away from Fainting Man in Viral Oval Office Clip (Exclusive)

I love how they seemed not able to commit to the obvious in the title, especially with that photo they used. I'll go way out on a limb and say that, yep-- his eyes are definitely closed! Images of Trump appearing to close his eyes during Oval Office event spread across social media

That's because "they" didn't ask Trump to do the right thing. You might not have noticed I was clearly talking about one person. This would be pure speculation on my part, but I doubt Trump is taking calls from Michael Cohen these days, as I believe he was the first guy to testify in front of Congress with specifics of Trump's unethical and criminal behavior.
