    Influenza and COVID-19: The Twindemic

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You say that as though there's no way to tell how COVID prevention measures have worked on actual COVID, based on data from regions and countries that have adopted various strategies. I've never had...

    Fear and Anxiety

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to spark plug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    RN, ADN being obsolete

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    I'm one of them. I'm a midwest city girl and have not had a problem finding employment in my 7 years with an ASN. I'm still working on my BSN though because of tuition reimbursement for a 12 month...

    Are you discerning with your "likes"?

    Nursing pay..Check this out!

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    That I'll agree with; it's a completely separate issue from whether nurses should be paid a flat rate across the country, regardless of the actual value of the dollar paid. Does a gallon of milk cost...
