    Pronunciation

    You will find repetition in the disease names and medications that you use. Keep a notebook and write them down so you can review the condition and practice saying the names out loud. FYI, it's...

    NEED CAREER ADVICE!

    Possibly unpopular opinion coming, but it ties into a trend I've noticed over the years. I think the possessive you used "my kid's extracurriculars" is worth noting. THEIR activities. Kids will...

    Nurse jobs that are more likely to be per diem?

    Management Progression Assistance

    I don't think that chats are a substitute for rolling up your sleeves and taking a shift, though it would be better than what some managers/administrators currently do. I stand by my original concept-...

    Management Progression Assistance

    I truly do not mean this disrespectfully, but it causes a bit of dissonance in my head when considering the concept of someone managing (and teaching) a thing that they actually want to avoid doing....

    Manager wants us back in office...

    I was being (partially) facetious, 'cause I'm sick of people grousing about having to return to their jobs. It's such a first-world complaint especially considering all the people who showed up at...

    Getting Fired

    While many posts I've read agree with some aspects of what you're saying, what does this have to do with the OP? OP identified reasons for being fired and none of them mentioned negative gender-based...

    Is travel nursing for me?

    If I read your post correctly, you have been working for about 4 months after taking a year hiatus, for a total of about 2.5 years experience. Travelers often get thrown into very tough situations and...

    LPN schools without prerequisites ?

    There is a theme running through the responses warning you about programs without the prerequisites that seem to be an obstacle for you. Of course you're free to take the advice or not, but why ask if...

    Manager wants us back in office...

    This may be a different take on it, but I've heard from people in a few industries about grumbling re: going back to the office. I think that people who are required to should get a "distance and...
