1. What will happen if I refuse the VDAP and it goes to investigations?

   jadedRN04 replied to Wsaye78's topic in Recovery

   Yes, I finished about 12 yrs ago. I did not understand what the requirements were for therapists, doctors, etc. treating healthcare professionals.

2. What will happen if I refuse the VDAP and it goes to investigations?

   jadedRN04 replied to Wsaye78's topic in Recovery

   Oh goodness... About 15 years ago I had a big problem with alcohol. I had no legal or work issues whatsoever but I wanted to stop drinking and couldn't do it on my own. I figured if I showed up to a therapist they would report me to the BON. Als...

3. How do I get into remote nursing jobs?

   jadedRN04 replied to momma0f3's topic in General Nursing

   If you live in a compact state you should start with getting a compact license. I believe most work from home nurse positions require at least some current acute care experience but probably not all. I started out doing telephone triage from home. We...

4. I hate being in a monitoring program

   jadedRN04 replied to dancinginthedark's topic in Recovery

   Was the fact that you need 6 months of passing narcotics part of the contract that you signed? If that is something that they just now came up with and made it a requirement I would be irate. Of course, being irate does no good because they can do wh...

5. New to testing recovery trek help

   jadedRN04 replied to Bellatrixlestrange's topic in Recovery

   Mind you, my time with my state's program was over 10 years ago and Peth tests were not used but the only behavior I changed in my life is I didn't drink alcohol. I continued to use hair spray, hair dye, alcohol hand sanitizer several times per day, ...

6. Getting my RN with no board restrictions

   jadedRN04 replied to Candygirl0818's topic in General Nursing

   I believe, depending on the offense, most BONs can see expunged records. In OP case it was for Medicaid fraud so I would imagine they would have access to that record. I could be wrong.

7. Phmp VRP

   jadedRN04 replied to Vetinpgh's topic in Recovery

   I don't live in PA but I do have to say that the PA BON is by far the worst to deal with when trying to gain licensure by endorsement. They are just 100 times more obstinate than any other BON I had to deal with for licensure so your comment does not...

8. Getting my RN with no board restrictions

   jadedRN04 replied to Candygirl0818's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, one can get away with murder but try to separate the government from their money (whether intentional or not) and they will have you by the short and curlies and they won't let go. I agree with the other posters...contact an attorney who is expe...

9. CNA Frustrated with Being the Blame

   jadedRN04 replied to Kirsten Creator's topic in General Nursing

   If that patient's nurse was not available what another nurse around that you could have given the reading to? Just let them know "Hey, I can't find this patient's nurse but I wanted to make sure that someone was aware of this O2 sat reading." I'm not...

10. Recovery in Indiana/IPRP

    jadedRN04 replied to holyguacamole's topic in Recovery

    I was involved with ISNAP over 10 yrs ago and alcohol was my issue. They tested for ETG with every UDS.

11. TeleHealth

    jadedRN04 replied to luckyLVNmoon's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of it depends on licensure and what states you will be providing telehealth services to. If you have a compact license then you can provide services to compact states. If you would need to provide services to persons in a non-compact state then...

12. TeleHealth

    jadedRN04 replied to luckyLVNmoon's topic in General Nursing

    I work from home doing telehealth. Texas is a compact state and at the very least you would probably need a compact license unless the state you would be providing services for is Texas. I don't believe getting a compact license is possible if your c...

    Congratulations and welcome to the WGU nursing family!

14. why can't nurses get safe staffing laws passed

    jadedRN04 replied to lee1's topic in Activism

    There is no nursing shortage...just a shortage of good nursing jobs that don't totally burn out nurses.

15. Stay away from Supplemental Healthcare Staffing!

    jadedRN04 replied to lbnorris's topic in Travel

    They are horrible and use sleazy tactics to intimidate their travelers. Never again.
