    eneed1566 replied to military spouse's topic in General Nursing

    We live in NE ARK. COL is low but jobs are poor! Hubby has to travel out of state to find decent pay, along with probably half of our town! I'm sure there are parts of the state that do offer good...

    eneed1566 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    The staff that you work with will make or break you! When I was working at a LTC facility, I, too, worked with one of these 'wicked' nurses. While she was the same rank as I at the time, LPN, it was...

    I do weekly JCAHO questions of the week, I post 2 questions and then draw the winner out of a list of correct answers. The winner chooses a prize. We are also holding a JCAHO Carnival where each...

    eneed1566 posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have recently been asked to present an in-service on HIPPA to our nurses. Here's the deal... We are a small 25 bed hospital with a pretty active ED. Sometimes when a patient the staff knows or...
