I'm an ASICS addict! But I go for the more pricy ones... (i.e. Cumulus and Nimbus). I've worn them since high school since there is nothing with more support, but also comfort! I have warn a pair from my first shift as a CNA 5 years ago and continue to wear them as an LPN and while I go back to school to complete my RN! Stick with ASICS and i think you'll be happy

Why do you say over supply of nurses? I thought there was supposed to be a shortage? and it always seems like some SNF or hospital is hiring?! I'm kind of confused by your statement?

Thank you for opening my eyes to that... The SNF's really do have it rough! 32 patients to be responsible for compared to 5? THAT'S INSANITY! But I fear at most LTC's and SNF's some nurses just become content with being "pill passers" and in a way give up on wanting to maintain their skills as now they are just there for the paycheck. Do you notice this as well?

Wow... I never really though about it that way! I've always though our society were pretty good to our elderly! In some other cultures once grandma is yelling and screaming and fully demented they just let her out to pasture to pass on... But here in America at 93 years of age you get a free knee replacement and all the Percocet you can swallow! (I'm completely kidding). But now that you put it that way I guess it does make sense... we put the value of the nurse on the value of the patient that they serve... Thank you SO much! that really opened up my mind about some things.

As I complete my final semester of nursing school I hear a lot of talk about leadership and management using terms like accountability and delegation and it makes me think... At what point is a nurse delegating to support staff (i.e. CNA, RT, PT, etc.) and when do we cross that line into bossing people around? I know when I was a CNA and even as an EMT I had a bad attitude when it came to nurses Telling me what to do rather than asking me. So what do you think? When do we cross the line between delegation and being bossy?

Trust me! They're already signed up for their online RN-BSN completion programs. What do you think drives people into the longterm care field?

Hello! I'm an ADN student about to graduate in May and I'm currently looking at job opportunities. I've heard my classmates brag and state that they can't wait to graduate as RN's so they can work in acute care and be able to stay out of SNF's and LTC's. I was wondering if someone could explain the stigma about working in Longterm care or Skilled nursing? I know some people must like it! It feels more and more like Acute care nurses thing they're better than the rest when they seem to be the first ones to burn out. Please tell me why you chose your field? Thank you guys!
