  3. Update on the job market

    What an interesting and exciting plan! It is a risk for sure. I believe that in general the U.S. is looking at policy that supports less RN utilization especially in hospitals. This is my opinion....

  11. ADA Title I Sec. 12114 Section 104

    The BON enforces the Nurse Practice Act for each state. I get the general feeling that issues brought up in this forum are not BON's domain. BON's are set up to enforce the NPA and protect the...

  17. Question about applying

    My personal opinion is based on the amount of time it takes to complete applications and the tweeking of resumes to match the key words of the position. I would focus on an organization that is...

  19. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    Hello I just graduated with an MSN but fully support the NP's role in healthcare. The APNP's I have worked with were models of professionalism and excellence. I had to find my own preceptor too for...

  24. Your post says what many want to say but don't. I believe you hit the nail on the head so to speak. There are many peer reviewed journals that agree based on studies that nurses impact client...
  25. You put it very well that empowerment strategies are badly needed. I would like to see nurses being able to put their concerns forth to a person who can take the time needed to understand context....
