  1. Mother of RN addict

    You are in a hard situation. I hear what you are saying, finding out after the fact that other roads could have been taken but are now closed, is bitter. Sadly, in cases like this (I suspect), the issues are complex and that fact alone CAN make it ha...
  2. dui. new grad, denied license, looking for advice

    Hi. If I was in your situation, I would look through the Board's disciplinary minutes for thoughts. They are, in a number of states, posted or accessible on-line. It may give you some ideas. I would also see if there is a support group in your area f...
  3. I don't think I want to be a nurse anymore...

    I think there is a lot of good advice here already; I just wanted to say that you are definitely not alone. And despite how you might feel now, your feelings about many things may change as you go through therapy/treatment. A while back, I was not go...
  4. Just starting out Q

    Congratulations! I just wanted to mention that some employers will pay at least a portion of (degree) classes, so as you go through, it might be something to look at, in terms of evaluating potential employers.
  5. Scope of Practice / Nurse Practice Act

    Here is the link for the 2011 edition of Administrative and Indiana code related to nursing. I have read portions of other states' Nurse Practice Acts and in some respects, I agree, there is a feeling of "vagueness". Although I have heard at times th...
  6. Hi. Several years ago, I went into therapy after my family doctor put me on antidepressants. My thought was to get to the root of whatever my problem(s) was and solve it. As therapy progressed, I started talking to my husband and indicated that other...
  7. Is this fair? Honest opinions, please.

    Regarding the admissions, if you are now concerned about the quality of your education (which I would be), you can probably double check your catalog and also with someone other than the dean regarding whether there are additional faculty and clinica...
  8. CouId possibly work as an CNA w/RN license?

    I was doing some of these things before this "recession" hit, so I'm sure the climate's a bit different, but... I went to the unemployment office to work with an employment coach. You can work out your resume, post a profile for potential employers, ...
  9. Refresher course without clinical hours...is it worth it?!

    I have also looked into refresher courses. I was on the State licensing site the other week and reading Board minutes. There were four areas of knowledge (in our state) where they were requiring nurses to get CEUs before reinstatement after time laps...
  10. facebook "stalking" as a nurse?

    I think you made quite few good points here. I put one of your statements in bold type because it actually applies to a lot of psych patients as well. When I was going through nursing school, I worked with developmentally disabled adults. We had a fe...
  11. facebook "stalking" as a nurse?

    I am posting a thread elsewhere, but this is interesting, especially in light of this last comment. This summer, I learned that my husband had been invited to a nurse's house for "lunch" (he had been receiving outpatient IV therapy for a foot ulcer t...
