If religious people can be exempt from working certain days, does this mean people who aren't religious can be exempt too? What defines a religion anyway? Maybe it's my religion not to miss my children's school events. Since I don't ask to be off on ...

I disagree with the poster who says RNs who get a BSN aren't new grads. According to many hospitals (stated on their websites) any RN with less than 6 months professional experience is eligible for new grad residency programs. You will be a new grad...

@Sky You have to be aggressive during your training. It's just like when you're a nursing student - if you'll follow along and watch - that is exactly what the nurse will let you do. When I was going through my clinicals in school it was always a lit...

It will come in handy at some point. Don't worry. As some have already mentioned, a lot of places prefer a BSN now, and a lot of people with less than a BSN are going back to school because they feel it's an advantage when trying to get a job. I got ...
Actually, people can and DO wake up one day and decide they don't want to do drugs anymore! That's usually when they seek treatment...which is why it should be irrelevant to what's happening today. I get that the board is meant to protect the public,...
My goodness....I feel bad for you. I guess I never even thought of this or payed attention to what kind of questions were asked since it didn't pertain to me, but if a questions asks, "Have you been treated for mental illness within the past X years"...
How long is it until you are eligible for employment? And how long until you're finished with the program? Why were you denied licensure as a pharmacy tech? Did they ask questions about mental health for that licensure also? That really sucks to have...
Didn't you say in another post that you only disclosed your mental health dx because you interpreted the question wrong? And it actually only meant if your dx was an impairment to your current ability to work? By the logic that everyone who has had a...

So, technically...if someone has a history of depression then they would have to report to the board when applying for licensure of a mental health history? That seems absurd! I saw another nurse post here saying that she was being investigated after...
Well, the DUI thing makes sense because most all employers want to know your criminal history and it's public information so it will show up on your background check. Asking if you've ever been treated for drug/alcohol addiction in the past FIVE yea...
Hi all, I have a question for anyone who knows the answer. I have a good friend who is about to apply for initial licensure in the state of Tennessee and take their test. I can't answer the question for him because it's been awhile and I can't rememb...

i agree w you that CNAs should understad why it's important to be accurate, and YES, i do think some people are on autopilot. i felt like i flew right through my BSN program which was "accelerated" and i wonder how the AS nurses must've felt when put...
JSlovex2 replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing
another issue. not only are CNAs not told this during training, but so many nurses would rather die than to let them know that their job actually IS important.
JSlovex2 replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing
my comment was in response to someone who mentioned that CNAs should get more education. hence, the comment that "along with more education comes more pay." if i had said "if CNAs were paid more to do vitals then maybe they would" then i could see yo...
