A Class Action Lawsuit against the College Network has been filed in Ohio. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission is investigating TCN (again) for numerous violations. This is relevant news to those nurses who were affected by this company, those...

Here are some facts for you about the healthcare system in the US when compared to other nations. Now I have to go take care of sick people, so I am out.... http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article9542817.ece/alternates/w1024/Davis_Mirror_2014_...

As as it is 2:37 AM, here is the short version... You did not use care in reading my statement. I buy my insurance through the ACA marketplace exchange. I am not covered under an employer plan. I had no coverage until this year when the ACA became...

I will respond, in part... a) due to the anonymous nature of this message board, and your desire for facts to back up some statements, I feel the only facts you would accept are those that unmask the annonimity of the poster by identifying the hospit...

The ACA has been a dream in my state. More nursing opportunities, more people seeking medical care when they need it (instead of when an emergency takes place), more compliance with medications (no pill splitting and/or sharing with others because o...

What do you mean by working on your own? Do you mean you are going to be working a shift at this LTC facility and no one has shown you the job duties, or do you mean you are leaving the LTC facility and going into private duty nursing? Are you RN o...

With a death in the immediate family, most schools will allow you to make up clinical days. I am so sorry for your loss. ((hugs))

I have an old top loader W/D set in my garage--all scrubs, BF's work clothes, and shop towels go into these machines. The nice front loading set is in the house and they only see scrubs for the first wash off the rack. Neurosis, keeping us all heal...

I can sing (like Carol Channing)! And play drums (like a chimpanzee on crack)! Can I be in the band (noise makers in white)?

I have a young 'locked-in' ALS with vent, g-tube, colostomy, cath, no communication methods, no narcs, no anti-anxiolytics, still on FULL CODE! (left all decisions up to spouse who can't let go) This is my worst nightmare. All mental faculties inta...

Don't forget to scrub those shoes, too! I make it a habit--no matter what care environment I may be in--to always take off my shoes in the parking garage/lot and bag them before getting into my car. I don't want hitch hikers tracked through my ho...

I recently discovered that an entry level nursing position has become available in a hospital affiliated oncology center. I want the job. Badly. And I meet all the requirements. But I have an issue, and I need advice. Let me preface my inquiry ...

Not exactly the job for which I applied (they went with another person), but something a little different! Because of the potential for severe psychological implications, I am going to do new patient intake twice a week--standard and focused assessm...

I have been the neurotic overachiever my entire life. I had an incredibly strict upbringing, was not allowed to make mistakes without severe punishment, and my free choices (like shaving the sides of my head to make a mohawk) were met with abuse. ...

Late to the conversation here, and I will admit I haven't read every response (on my phone so it's difficult). I am a neurotic over-achiever, and I finished school 2nd in my class of over 100. That said, I had to bust my butt to get those grades, dev...

Do you have a job? If you have to work and go to nursing school (full time, full schedule of classes), don't expect 10 hours a week of free time to devote to martial arts. I went to school full time, and did not have a job so I could concentrate all...

This is my carrier, and you are correct. It is around $100 a year.

I had my coverage added to my homeowners policy for roughly $100 a year--$500,000 coverage--in the midwest. It isn't costly, and even if your employer offers coverage, BUY YOUR OWN! Always cover your own behind...

Born before women had the right to vote, this magnificent woman is among the true trailblazers of our profession. She, and those of her generation, built upon the basic foundations of nursing during one of the most volatile periods in American histo...

Wonderful news! YES INDEED! Let's save some lives!

$20 bill removed from the vagina of a prostitute complaining of pelvic pain. No lie.

Mortality has been drastically reduced for the most common sub-type of BC, and this sub-type gets the lion's share of all BC funding. NONE of the new treatments that have been developed with that funding have any effect on TNBC and IBC (around 24% o...

First, I am so sorry to hear of your husband's condition. Please know you both are in my best thoughts. ((hugs)) There is no doubt there are differences in funding across the various organ systems affected by cancers. Deeper still, there are signi...

Genetic testing is for those with a strong family history for BC and/or OC, and only after meeting with a genetic counselor. The counselor reviews the history, and presents the option for testing. For a test where a genetic risk is identified, the ...

TELL YOUR SISTERS... When educating women about Ovarian Cancer, it is important that those with a strong family history of Breast Cancer consider speaking with the Genetic Counselor, and before age 40 whenever possible. BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations...
