    OT & PT managing nurses?

    You're in charge of your own nursing practice. You risk your license if you act out of your scope or commit malpractice; merely working for an agency with a weird managerial set-up wouldn't do it....

    Nursing and being a youtuber

    So true! Working up new ways to essentially humiliate people, video it, then pimp it out online for clicks is particularly abhorrent. Also not completely buying the "asking for a friend"

    Applying for a retail job

    I knew a couple of nurses who got side jobs in retail- they were looking forward to the employee discount. Don't withhold your employment history on the application- it could come back and bite you....

    Is there a Stigma with a Male working in Nursing?

    There is much less of a stigma than in years past; guys are more represented in the field. Also, they do well in it. Re: the comments- Yes, they're inappropriate. Are they the "hill that you want...

    Question!

    Ah. Back in the day it was called GN (Graduate Nurse) or GPN (Graduate Practical Nurse) status. It wasn't granted by the BON, at least in my area. A lot of states have gotten rid of it due to the fast...

    Question!

    I don't understand what you mean by permit. The process is completing your nursing program, signing up for NCLEX, passing the exam, getting your license. To do a bridge program you need an LVN...

    Should I quit my job

    For sure! Realistically, the second facility will probably find out anything and everything that they want from the first one, whether or not privacy laws are in place. (And they may not apply if a...

    Peds Clinic RN. A good start?

    Don't focus too much on the future. It sounds like a fun opportunity. You can learn a lot anywhere if you're self-motivated, and that'll help you in subsequent jobs, whether they're peds or not....

    How much do you owe in student loans?

    Thanks. I was under the impression that it wouldn't add too much to clinical acumen- I assume experience and keeping up with continuing ED takes care of that. Sounds like you're better off without the...
