1. This Does Not Make Sense - But happens anyway!

   Fixit replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

   This Does Not Make Sense - But happens anyway!..... In my state NO LPN can't cut a diabetics nails! If you're the only RN working in a large nursing home you have to cut all the diabetics' nails. I guess the BON thinks LPN's can't handle this simpl...

2. New Grad RN offered Hospital Position & Dr.'s office Position Need Advice :-)

   Fixit replied to kaylynnd06's topic in Career Support

   I'd go with the hospital job for the reasons you listed. Plus it doesn't seem like a doctors office would have a career ladder for a BSN to climb.

3. BSN programs for RN with a BSBA

   thomas edison online takes most gen ed transfer credits. http://www.tesc.edu/1640.php

4. Should I get my ADN or BSN based on my life goals?

   Fixit replied to Maria2694's topic in ADN/BSN

   Be sure you really want to be an RN for love of the work. The work is not as simple as you think and jobs aren't as plentiful as you have been told. You are very young so you have time to decide what type of work enjoy most. Don't assume you will be...

5. Can this put MY license at risk?

   Fixit replied to missladyrn's topic in General Nursing

   As charge you do have some responsibility to supervise and see that meds were given, not tossed into the shaprs bin. I'd report her to the BON in a New York minute! She is lazy, dishonest and VERY dangeous.

6. Nurses protest at HCA Largo Medical Center

   Fixit replied to VU RN BSN's topic in Union

   Good. HCA must have the worst reputation for nurse abuse and unsafe pt conditions yet they keep buying more hospitals. I'll never work for HCA.

7. To those who want to leave nursing

   Fixit replied to PunkBenRN's topic in Professionalism

   Exactly. The 25 yr old newbie nurse is an Epic fail on therapeutic communications. Clueless as to what some of us are going through at work.

8. Proposition for a Nursing Revolt

   Fixit replied to PintheD's topic in General Nursing

   Lady Jane, Thanks for bringing this serious threat to our livelihoods back from the dead. Every SINGLE US RN currently employed as a nurse or hoping to work as an RN should be aware of this issue.

9. Diversity.. at what price?

   Fixit replied to Been there,done that's topic in Relations

   Dude. If you're so good with computers why can't you show who you were quoting in your post? And why do you have to scream your post? I'm not really middle age but I'm old enough to respect that the members here who are 40's 50's and older are fro...

10. Diversity.. at what price?

    Fixit replied to Been there,done that's topic in Relations

    Exactly. The newbies haven't 'been there' or haven't been nurses long enough to have worked in a large city where you are the only native English speaking person around. Also if someone posts a cartoon of ducking under a couch just after you post y...

11. Effect of Public Reprimand on Current Job?

    Fixit replied to com4table's topic in General Nursing

    To my knowledge, hospitals and nursing homes do a check of their currently employed nurses every 2 years. They check for criminal background (arrests), BON actions, nursys, OIG, and the 2 national databases for healthcare practitioners. It looks be...

12. Unsafe Staffing

    Fixit replied to **LaurelRN's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree. This "Hospital Corporation" has set you up to be the perfect fall guy when something horrible happens. I went through a similar situation when my old hospital was bought out by HCA. HCA then merged 2 hospitals and put the nurses in...

13. Missing meds & I'm getting the blame

    Fixit replied to ForeverMoving's topic in General Nursing

    btw Sorry for typos I'm using an old computer with missing keys.

14. Missing meds & I'm getting the blame

    Fixit replied to ForeverMoving's topic in General Nursing

    NO NO NO. This is ABSOLUTELY verbotin and will get you discipline in BOTH states. When you apply for the new license in the new state the new BON will always ask if you have a pending investigation. OP don't do something like this. You sound innoc...

15. failed pre-employment drug screen

    Fixit replied to chk888's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry if I'm not "helpful" or as much of a bleeding heart as some would like but I do not buy it. Seriously, be honest. You have a clean license and no previous sanctions, failed a pre-employment drug screen where YOU ARE NOT employed and now you ha...
