  1. Are we not talking about the largest nursing strike in US history happening right now?

    lilRN16 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    lilRN16 replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

  3. Dislike Everyone In My Cohort

    lilRN16 replied to sadsacrum's topic in General Students

    lilRN16 replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Pediatric

  6. 3 Injuries That Look Like Child Abuse But Are Not

    lilRN16 replied to SoniaV.'s topic in Pediatric

    I stand by what I wrote. It is sad to me, that nurses cannot surmise on their own that different ethnicities may have markings that are not consistent with abuse. Yes that is sad that I can...

  7. 3 Injuries That Look Like Child Abuse But Are Not

    lilRN16 replied to SoniaV.'s topic in Pediatric

    This is sad that nurses don't know this. This is indicative of the deficit of cultural competence in American nursing... This is how certain groups get erroneously reported to child welfare...

  8. Pediatric Stepdown RN... CPN or Pediatric RN-BC?

    lilRN16 replied to _Cecilia_'s topic in PICU, Pediatric

    2, Yes, you can be certified in both, although it may be redundant, as they may be considered interchangeable. You will just have to pay for both, both the initial certification and the recerts....

  10. Racism in NYC

    lilRN16 replied to 135pipe's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    lilRN16 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

  12. Passive Hostility Between Workplace Departments

  13. What was your motivation that made you become a Nurse?

    lilRN16 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

  15. Does your employer give you hell for calling in sick?

    lilRN16 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    This is why I love CA... We have this wonderful thingy called "Kin care." The employer is precluded legally from demanding a reason for absence... When I call, I say "I'm calling Kincare"...

    lilRN16 replied to sh0takid's topic in School, College Programs

    Perhaps. Sounds like something I would worry about as a student, but when I got in school, what others did didn't impact me at all... First lesson of being an RN, don't sweat stuff that doesn't impact...

  18. What should I know before Nursing School?

    lilRN16 replied to FutureNurseSL90's topic in General Students

  23. LA COUNTY RN1 A ITEM,SHIFT OF NEED

    lilRN16 replied to Badkugo's topic in California Nursing

    This is good that they hired you straight in, as an A item as opposed to an F item. That sounds like they will make you work whatever shift they want you to work... So if you want 1900-0730,...
