   Hi, I've been a nurse since 2001, worked in the hospital on a med-surg/oncology unit about six years ago, then switched to some agency nursing, home health and the last two years have been in LTC. A new hospital just opened up by my house and I appl...

4. What are the chances.....

   AmyRN1227 replied to AmyRN1227's topic in Recovery

   Oh yes, I plan to self report, that's not really the question I have. I'm getting all these questions from others like my therapist and family if I will be actually prosecuted and have charges brought against me. I didn't know if I went through the ...

5. What are the chances.....

   AmyRN1227 posted a topic in Recovery

   of being "prosecuted" for diverting at work? I was caught at work a little while ago, and got a call today from my job stating they had to report it and gave me the phone number for my state assistance program for nurses. Is this a good sign? I hav...

   So is it legit or what? I just wrote to another CPR/BLS provider and she wants to charge me $50.00 just to recertify when I already paid these people $30.00!! I will have to call my place of employment on Monday to see if they will indeed accept th...

8. Anyone take an online CPR recertification course?

   AmyRN1227 replied to AmyRN1227's topic in General Nursing

   YEP!!! I did find out this was a scam. Thanks, but I already lost my money on them. Why are these CPR classes so dang expensive? $50 to recertify? I found one near home but have to wait until Tuesday to take it. No work until then I guess. Than...

12. Job opportunites?

    AmyRN1227 posted a topic in Forensic

    Hi, I'm currently going to be looking into getting SANE certified. I was wondering though, how good job opportunities are. I've heard from a friend that pretty soon all states/counties will require a SART team/SANE nurse. I know this is good news ...

    Hi all, I just realized my CPR card is expired and was doing a search for CPR classes in my area and a bunch of online ones popped up. They say that they are legit and accredited but it makes me nervous. Anyone else take an online course to renew y...

14. "Omissions" in charting..should I be worried?

    AmyRN1227 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just got a call from my nursing director at a hospital where I work, usually registry. She asked if I could come in on Thursday to speak with them because they were auditing charts and found some "ommissions" in mine. Should I be worried? Thanks...

15. Is it just me or are agency nurses not treated very nicely?

    AmyRN1227 posted a topic in Agency

    I just started working with an agency and I'd say more than half my experiences have not been very pleasant. It's hard enough trying to learn a new hospital, the way they chart, new IVs, equipment, etc. then you have nurses who are constantly trying ...
