    Is it okay to drink water after liquid medication?

    Given that liquid benadryl can be a bit viscous, you might even be helping absorption by chasing it with water. (Just a hypothesis, but to answer your question, I've never heard of it being...

    denied FT job after subbing for school

    Yeah. In my state, for example, an RN with an ASN or diploma could be a sub but couldn't be hired into a regular school nurse

    Pay scale question for Nationally Certified School Nurses

    Are you investing the four dollars, or just spending it on an extra Starbuck's visit? If the former, are you putting it in stocks or

  7. Thank you. Recently, work has been "The COVID Show" and there's been a lot of policy/procedure work, DPH and Board of ED communicating and staff hand holding. Probably makes one a wee bit...

    Should I agree to binding arbitration?

    Anecdotally, every decision I've heard about from binding arbitration has been in favor of the employer, I.e. the customer of the person/company providing the
  10. Um, okay. Don't know why a part of a remark of mine was clipped and quoted,
  11. You included me in your statement as needing "remedial education" for pointing out the hypocrisy of the mega-testing regime surrounding a man who has hampered, sabotaged, and discouraged testing. I...
  12. ...not to mention that Trump, who has sabotaged and been dismissive of testing programs, is in a veritable "testing bubble" of staff and people going to the White House. Hypocrisy? Irony? Or just a...

    I am in a little predicament…

    You have no obligation to accept a job because a friend tried to facilitate an interview. Out of politeness, keep your friend in the loop about the interview you had- he should be happy for you!...

    Behavioral Health Nurses in the ED

    Do you think that they will "honor" the specificity of the role, or do you think you'll be used as an built-in float person for when the regular ED volume is

    Worried about not getting hired

    I would get a job sooner than later in some sort of healthcare setting. COVID has changed things, but there are still

    Using my license

    It's certainly within your scope and licensure; you just need to be oriented to the equipment. Non-licensed people help with screenings in some places; the procedures themselves don't require a...

    Interested in Mental Health- Options?

    I would recommend some time working in inpatient psych units. You can see people at their most acute; I think it would help you in the outpatient setting. Have you thought about advanced practice...

    Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    Please help me with this new job overseeing group homes

    Do they reward that effort? If not (or even if so) what about the job makes you want to stay

    Please help me with this new job overseeing group homes

    Sorry, I have to disagree. The situation that the OP describes can't possibly be rectified by one person during a regular work week. Being a martyr now just sets the "I'm a doormat, hand me more stuff...

    New grad first job as Clinic RN?

    Honestly, as a new nurse, you'd be really lucky to get the clinic schedule right out of the gate. If you dig into it, you can learn a lot. Hospital nursing is often overrated and is NOT the end...

    ER nurse dealing with bullying...

    I respectfully disagree with your point about semantics. Actual bullying is a legitimate and too common problem. Labeling any and every charged and unpleasant interaction as bullying dilutes the word,...
