    Ageism in Nursing

    Tweety replied to Wetsuweten Cynthia's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Beth wrote a good article about it here. I haven't had to apply for a job as I age, so I'm not sure how that would go at my age. But I would ask for more money than a younger worker and...

    Ageism in Nursing

    Tweety replied to Wetsuweten Cynthia's topic in General Nursing

    Good evening! I've always loved the beach and the good thing is the Tampa Bay Area is a major metropolitan area, something I need. Country, mountain and small town life I couldn't do. I live in...

    Phasing Out ADN?

    Tweety replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of people going into the program don't understand how tough it is and how many hours you have to put in. Others also don't understand that yes, you have to sometimes deal with poop and...

    Good morning! Joe, hope you have a good Sunday. A lot of those old movies got away with things that wouldn't fly today. Ado, is urgent/convenient care an option? We have them all over the...

    Phasing Out ADN?

    Tweety replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. You have to have both. A knowledge base and common sense that can then lead to good critical thinking skills. The question I suppose is that is the knowledge base of the ADN adequate for...

    Good evening! Joe, hope you enjoyed the day. Stars, why push for yet another doctor's appointment? I know it's because you feel helpless as he deteriorates, but hasn't he had dozens upon...

    Nurses Flocking Back to Hospitals

    Tweety replied to chare's topic in Nursing News

    I hate to believe it, but you're right. Look at how hard the hospital industry in Massachusetts fought their safe staffing ratio ballot and the public voted against the hands on nurses and for the...

    Nurses Flocking Back to Hospitals

    Tweety replied to chare's topic in Nursing News

    I'm glad to see the trend of nurses returning to hospital work. I can't access the article, but I wonder too if inflation also plays a role. Why I live we've seen some of the highest rent increases...

    How poor nurse-to-patient ratios can be a matter of life or death

    Tweety replied to rn771's topic in General Nursing
