   .4** replied to workingot's topic in Career Support

   I may not make any friends with this but when did nursing become a career based on $$$ instead of a calling. I am lucky to have 2 pretty good careers and neither were started based on the amount of money I was going to sock away. The first was Law ...

   .4** replied to jeastridge's topic in Hospice

   Unfortunately the hospitals dont share their intentions. We get the call do the admissions settle the patients and family and many times we are just as surprised when the family calls us to advise us of immediate discharge. Some times we were luck...

   This is an issue that will never go away. No matter how many times it is explained at admission people believe we make the rules. As cold as it sounds you can't always get what you want.

7. Do women find male nurses attractive?

   .4** replied to Sykadia's topic in Men

   Try being the opposite. Im 6 ft tall 235 lb retired SWAT team member. In many cases pts looked at me like I was the Angel of Death. Forget 12 years in Emergency Service Bureau. Delivering babies, crawling through burning buildings running toward...

10. Do you disclose AN to coworkers

    .4** replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    It's a personal decision if you feel comfortable do it. To me I feel it's a good place to learn and believe in mentorship. Being a mentor doesn't end in a year or 2 it lasts through your career. Give the kids all the help they need so that they ca...

15. Question from a doc on NP education

    .4** replied to clamchow's topic in NP

    I think a major issue that is being overlooked is practical experience. Jumping from RN to FN with no pause for working experience seems to be the culprit. School to school with clinical don't prepare anyone for anything but a piece of paper. Thei...
