    Ethics of the DOA screen

    With our traumas (my area of focus at present), we do them if results may alter the course of treatment or if we are dealing with a presentation of uncertain origins. Otherwise, nope. Not

    Air Force (Nursing)

    I think all the ANG and NG are requiring BSNs now. OP, another Bachelors + ADN does not work to commission as a nurse. If you do an RN to BSN bridge, just make sure it is accredited and that you keep...

    10 hour shifts

    I would give it a try! Your paycheck will also be bigger with the extra 8 hours per pay period - it adds up! I would say that as long as you can usually do four in a row without getting too crispy, it...

    Suicide

    Management missed the boat. One thing we must do is shine a light when these things happen. Ignoring it or carrying on like "normal" is not helpful to anyone. When we had a suicide at my hospital, it...

    BSN to Air force

    Update on Georgia Multistate Licenses

    I really don't know. How many hours of RN time do you have at this point? Would you meet endorsement requirements now? It will be interesting to see how this is handled. In theory, you should just be...

    Online versus state school?
