1. Background Checks and Protecting Your Privacy

   happy03 replied to happy03's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks again for the kind words and support! I've called a few lawyers and so none have any background on any situations similar to mine. I'll keep searching until I find one who is. Yes this is true and is probably my greatest concern. I have u...

2. Dr Phil and tipping

   happy03 replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

   This is so true! I have been a waitress and let me tell you the work is hard and the pay is totally unpredictable. Most places you do have to share your tips, plus the IRS gets theirs. I had weeks where I literally made nothing. Honestly some peo...

   happy03 replied to Celiabs's topic in General Nursing

   Generational differences have always, and will always be a part of our culture. Each generation has their styles, their music, their attitudes and the previous generation will always "question" the motives of a following generation. Elvis, the Be...

4. Background Checks and Protecting Your Privacy

   happy03 replied to happy03's topic in General Nursing

   Yes this is my preference. I've been in work situations where people knew and work situtations where they did not know. The difference in the way I was treated was profound. Yes many people were very supportive and friendly, others didn't care one...

6. Background Checks and Protecting Your Privacy

   happy03 replied to happy03's topic in General Nursing

   I will get a lawyer familar with the nursing board. I wish I knew someone with my background who has gone into Nursing so I could get an idea of what obstacles, if any, they faced. I have read about doctors, lawyers, airline pilots, etc who were l...

   happy03 replied to Celiabs's topic in General Nursing

   I really liked the scrubs in the picture--cute and professional IMO. I guess I'm shocked certain hospitals let their employees get away exposing butt cracks or midriffs, wearing nose piercings, eyebrow rings or exotic colored hair. I'm all for expr...

8. Background Checks and Protecting Your Privacy

   happy03 replied to happy03's topic in General Nursing

   OMG picking a name was so difficult! I tried name after name after name. I spent countless hours at the Baby Name sites and totally understand what parents go through naming a new baby! A few of the names I liked best have only been popular the la...

9. Background Checks and Protecting Your Privacy

   happy03 replied to happy03's topic in General Nursing

   It was very painful, maybe even moreso as a child as I tried to go one way only to be pushed the other way. Feminine actions were punished and masculine actions enforced. What may be considered cute behavior at age 3 was a cause for alarm at age 6...

    Professional no, funny yes! They actually let him get away with this??? He might give some poor patient a heart attack! Besides, is this not the worst male fashion statement since the mullet? My fashion statement? Just give me comfy shoes :)

11. 6th sense....

    happy03 replied to I_Love_Donuts's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I believe. I could cite many examples, but one of the more recent and tragic occurred on 9/11. I rarely if ever watch television, and NEVER in the morning. I was off that day and had a doctor's appointment later that morning. I didn't sleep ...

12. Background Checks and Protecting Your Privacy

    happy03 replied to happy03's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone for the input and support! My last background check wasn't really a problem--they basically did a criminal check and called my previous two employers to verify employment. They did ask if I had worked under any other names the previ...

13. Background Checks and Protecting Your Privacy

    happy03 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, I am getting ready to begin prerequisites for an ADN program and was a bit concerned about the background checks. No I have never committed a felony so it's not the criminal background check I'm concerned with. I guess I am worried abo...
