Get Ready to Make a Diagnosis!
Are you ready to make a diagnosis? Then check out Diagnosis, NurseTV's fun and educational game show - and the only one of its kind! Watch and play along as NurseTV tests the knowledge of nurses from across the country.
Here's how to play:
Nursing contestants are asked to pick one of three envelopes from different nursing categories (Med-Surg, L&D, nursing fundamentals, etc.).
Host Marc Prescott reads the question and the possible answers aloud. The nurse contestant then has 10 seconds to respond.
And you have the opportunity to play along with the nursing contestants at home. The question and responses appear on the computer screen, as well as a timer. At the end of 10 seconds, find out if the nurse (and you) got the right answer.
One correct answer wins $25 worth of scrubs; two correct answers wins $50 worth of scrubs; and three correct answers wins $100 worth of scrubs.
As a fun bonus, one of the nurse contestants is former star of 13 WEEKS, Ron Coronado. Watch him join in the fun too and test his knowledge.
Click here to play Diagnosis. Stay tuned for more fun episodes of Diagnosis on NurseTV.com.

Best Part about Travel Nursing
I've worked as a permanent nurse for a little while now and I'm already getting burned out. I don't have any close friends who are traveling nurses, but I'm curious about it. What are the best and worst aspects about traveling? If I'm thinking of traveling for the first time, when's the best time to start?
