  1. Change to License Requirements???

    Oops...ELIGIBLE, not elligible.
  2. Change to License Requirements???

    Elkpark--Yes, I agree it is pretty snarky. It's a shame these students have to spend all that money and go through all the stress of a nursing program only to find out at some point that they may not be elligible to sit for the boards. Yes, it woul...
  3. Change to License Requirements???

    Actually, the Florida lawmakers ARE using evidenced based statistics upon which they passed this law. It's called the recidivism rate. Florida very well knows that most offenders re-offend within ten years post-conviction. The jails and prisons h...
  4. Change to License Requirements???

    Lying on the licensing application? That really shows integrity.
  5. Change to License Requirements???

    The title of this thread is, "Change to License Requirement".
  6. Change to License Requirements???

    I'm not self-righteous--I'm just not a convicted felon and therefore never had to worry about getting my nursing license or getting a nursing job. And my patients don't have to worry that I've had run-ins with the law. You can try to put it back on...

    So...is 2ndwind not allowed to have an opinion?
  11. Uniform Cleanliness

    Good point. I was assuming this nurse came wearing a dirty uniform, which would be an Ew. Getting it dirty at work is different. That happens a lot. If it's a bad looking stain I've gotten on my scrubs I get a paper isolation gown and wear that o...
  12. What is wrong here???

    Her family is either taking or selling her meds.
  13. Uniform Cleanliness

    Why would anyone go to work in a dirty uniform? Ew.
  14. Natasha Richardson's TBI and demise

    FlyingScot was, I believe, trying to make the point that no matter how many EMS personnel were present, regardless of their advanced qualifications or lack thereof, this woman refused care and was reported to have signed a refusal of care waiver. So...
  15. Natasha Richardson's TBI and demise

    In TBI, there is a phrase "talking and dying". I worked in a TBI unit for several years and this was something we saw frequently upon ER admission of a TBI--AAOX3, talking, ambulatory, many pts. even driving themselves to the ER. CT scan would show...
