  1. Two-Headed Snake Bully Nurse

    There is no such thing as an anonymous text. In most states (state law is pertinent) harassment is a crime. In some cases even one nasty text, if it should interfere with your career, for instance, is enough. (Again, the level which the harassment...
  2. Job searching while under investigation

    I have used [email protected] and allisontaylor.com over the past decade. https://www.checkyourreference.com/reference-checking-services-for-job-seekers/ They were not that expensive, but a recent glance notes it's about $...
  3. Fact or Fiction? Masking and CO2 Dangers

    A bit of fact and a bit of fiction. Depending upon the type of mask you have greater resistance to inhalation/exhalation. There is also a certain amount of “dead space,” in which air breathed out will get “trapped.” I like the article “Res...
  4. My goal has been achieved. NH BON dismissed "the complaint." (Note: The complaint was two letter of complaints with over 30 itemized complaints). See attached image at bottom. I'm happy to share who I am, should someone need to contact me but it s...
  5. I got kicked out of my BSN because I had 31 complaints, it's that simple. The college determined that I could not be allowed to complete the Capstone with the complaints pending. And pray tell, please, would you be a bit more specific in the wa...
  6. Covid Vaccine Given Too High On Arm

    Actually, recently, I thought the same, however, an accidental sq still will produce adequate antibodies, just as an FYI. For a neat article on it read: 1) mRNA Vaccines: What Happens Lowe, Derek See: https://blogs.sciencemag.org/p...
  7. Covid Vaccine Given Too High On Arm

    Good point, however, I'd say "blame Walgreens" for they are the person who hired the "injector." They are the ones who are responsible for competency and are required to have employees prove competency and/or be trained. Too high and you can end up...
  8. And just maybe you are jumping to conclusions. Consider that I have been thrown out of my BSN program with only a capstone to go, because of the complaints. Loss of my educational goals, loss of my job and income, and you're "annoyed." ...
  9. ADN or BSN?

    A wise decision! Normally I'd have said "go for the ADN," and let your employer pay for the next two years to get the BSN. However, you wrote: "I get super anxious and have really bad test anxiety." Others have posted that the ADN is unl...
  10. Oddly, I haven't received notifications that there were responses to my thread. I just came here to post an article which admin may or may not accept. It will be my second article. For those who feel duped, all I can say, is it's quite real. ...
  11. @Susie2310 I'll agree, and I'll disagree. Rather than reiterate my grounds, I'll use the following sources. As you can see, by these two sources, it is a privilege, and it is also a right, and it is also "property." And, if it's property a nurse'...
  12. @rzyzzy You seem to have a progressive BON. Anyone with half a brain can see that what I'm going through is a witch hunt. The problem is that nobody on the BON has bothered to fully read my answer to the charges. You are correct about the li...
  13. Thanks @rzyzzy I now realize that since the majority agree with you I should have done just that and now, that's what I'm doing. Still, I've checked and my target state will tell any employer (and it took only a few minutes to get my own informatio...
  14. @hannabanana Yes, I intend to continue nursing. I have only a Capstone course to finish a BSN (with a cum 3.9+) and expect to move on to attain a Master's. I'm curious, why "pro counseling?" It'd be quite a far stretch to point to that l...
