In Nevada, the state BON says that nurses may intubate. No hospital policy allows for it because medicare/medicaid will not reimburse for an intubation performed by the nurse. Hence, no nurse intubations in NV. It's all about the $$$'s.
SXCESS, I am in a similar boat as you (i.e. juvenile offenses, being male, had background checks). I would recommend that you let the board know and just offer what information you have and a letter expressing your remorse and that you are no longer ...

The UCMJ only allows for close friendships and romantic relationships between Officers and Enlisted in the event that they both: A) existed before the Officer accepted their commission or warrant and B) are not prejudicial to good order and disciplin...
Really??? I always thought that we were supposed to be patient advocates. If someones actions were endangering patient safety you can bet your a** that I would report them as well. If you feel that you were wrongfully fired you should get a lawyer.
I wanted to share my first clinical experience and ask what I should expect for my second. My first day of clinicals was great! The night before I spent over 6 hours devising a care plan for my pt. I never used it, but I learned a lot about putting o...

Interesting thread. I too firmly believe that all drugs and drug use should be decriminalized. Additionally, there should be pardons for all those currently incarcerated for drug use. The pushers can rot. The use of street drugs will never be elimina...
I just started my program 2 weeks ago and after 10 years in the military, I can say that the first few weeks of nursing school are more difficult than basic training! I would recommend that you live by yourself for the first semester and then if you ...
My nursing program wants you to keep some of your old books from your prereqs. I borrowed the texts for my Nutrition and Development course and will be giving them back in two weeks. Long story short, I hate the texts and I wonder what references eve...
This kind of seems like a no brainer. As a nurse interacting with patients you need to look like a professional. The problem is that what you think is professional may not be what your patients think is professional, or your what your Nurse Manager t...
Thank you. Just to clarify, I had a very "adventurous" youth, an wish to run my own BG check, in order to make sure that I don't miss a small item. Not telling the BON because I truly don't remember, and then being denied a license, would be a traves...

Shining brighteyess, I keep running into the level of respect issue in a slightly different way. My fiancee's father is an anesthesiologist (MDA) and my dream is to become a CRNA. He firmly believes that the MDA should be the only one to provide anes...
Hello everyone, I have just entered into the nursing program at UNLV and have a question about the background check that the Nevada State Board of Nursing uses to evaluate new and renewing nurses. I have no problem admitting that I had a checkere...
Greetings all, I am just about to start clinical at UNLV for my BSN. We can choose a home hospital for our clinical site. There are two options for home hospitals, one is a great cardiac hospital and the other is a level 1 trauma center. Now for my q...
FinallyRN7, I don't want to make things look even bleaker, but the Air Force Nursing Corp is only hiring new grads through ROTC. That means that you would have had to have given at least a semester to the program and have the ability to complete at l...
