1. NPSB Nurse II omitting questions.

   mclovin replied to mclovin's topic in Government

   You're right, it's just so technical and detail oriented how one has to answer these questions. I was unaware of any nurse dimensions, and to be frank, all I do is patient care, and that's all I know. I was never involved in committee's, nor did I...

   mclovin posted a topic in Government

   Background: I'm a 16 year seasoned ED nurse, obtained my BSN in 2013, and have been a traveler for a good portion of my career. I've signed on to the VA and they've hired me for a different position (case manager) that I requested at a recent job fa...

   Can anyone point me in the right direction to get my CPI certification? I searched online and there's only two options. One being $1400-$3000 (crisisprevention.com) and the other being $100 (crisisconsultantgroup.com) for an online cert (I don't ev...

4. CPI cert?

   mclovin posted a topic in California

   Any nurses out there that get their CPI certs on their own? If so, can you point me in the right direction? I've searched online and see one website offering a 2-4 day course at the cost of 1400-3000 dollars. No Thanks! Any cheaper options out ther...

   Hey all, I'm trying to get my application submitted for various contracts, but some hospitals are requiring CPI, which I don't have (I've been using MAB for all the hospitals I've been working at in the Southern California region for the last 8 years...

6. My employer denied my workers comp claim

   mclovin replied to mclovin's topic in General Nursing

   Update: I called my employer and the person in charge is unavailable until tomorrow, but I did follow up with the department of workers comp, and a rep instructed that I call the hospital and request a letter of denial from my employer. I did so and...

7. My employer denied my workers comp claim

   mclovin replied to mclovin's topic in General Nursing

   Obligated, sure. The thing I'm worried about is I was never informed by my employer to fill out any form for workers comp. So they may have the right to deny any claim. But shouldn't they be at fault for not having me fill out the correct paperwo...

8. My employer denied my workers comp claim

   mclovin replied to mclovin's topic in General Nursing

   I had a previous needle stick with another employer (hospital employer) and I wasn't aware of any worker's comp paperwork that needed to be filled out. Everything was taken care of at that time. This time around with the registry I found out throug...

10. NY travel. Car rentals?

    mclovin replied to mclovin's topic in Travel

    If I end up back in CA I would have to drive cross country through winter, which I'm not sure is a good idea. And plus 3000 is a lot of mileage for a one way trip, but then again $704 is expensive too...

    I'm from California going to NY for a traveling assignment (9/30-12/27) and I'm trying to research 3 month car rentals, which are very expensive! So far I've found as low as $704/month (3 month "mini lease" option via Avis) Does anyone know any alte...

12. Registry/Agency Referrals?

    mclovin posted a topic in New York

    Hey everyone, I've been wanting to start working in NYC for awhile, I've gotten my NY licensure a few years ago and it's time for a renewal. I figured I should put it to use! I know it's a competitive field in the city, but I was thinking if I did r...

13. PearsonVue: Personal Belongings

    mclovin replied to KiNX's topic in NCLEX

    Took my test today, I was asked to pat down myself, arms legs, waist, back, almost everything while the tester watched. This was after emptying my pockets, feeling in my back pockets, lifting my hair and checking around my ears and neck line...........
