  2. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Guest957596 replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

  7. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    Guest957596 replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    Your age is NOT an issue. I graduated at 58yo and was hired right away at an HCA hospital through the StaRN program. Your problem is you're apparently a new nurse without experience. Apply for a New...

    Guest957596 replied to snowybee's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Guest957596 replied to mursedreaming's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey, Nurse! Look at the local hospitals and see if they have a New Grad or Nurse Residency Program. Some of our local hospitals have them with a few seats for ED or CCU/ICU. Good luck! Start with...

  12. Is the future of ER Nursing I-stats?

    Guest957596 replied to gcupid's topic in General Nursing

    Guest957596 replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

  14. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Guest957596 replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    My question as well! So could one infer from the comment that the display of certs makes someone else possibly feel inferior? NOTE: This is not a dig or a slam. Serious

    Guest957596 replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    Guest957596 replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    I can't cast aspersions, but you are ignorant of facts, or are biased. A Doctor is a Doctor, period. DO, MD, PHD, DNP, etc. There is no falsehood here. Check
