  1. Where do I start?

    Yeah, I figured. ? Once you get your license back, it will come with stipulations like not being able to pass narcotics or benzos for X period of time, no overtime, can't be the only nurse on duty etc. ER nursing is not stipulation friendly. Psych nu...
  2. Where do I start?

    You wouldn't be able to work as an ER RN anyway for a while. Usually getting your license back involves stipulations about passing narcotics etc that make ER nursing impossible. Also ER tech positions in my area usually go to EMS workers as you're st...
  3. Facial coverings effective?

    Reading comprehension isn't exactly your thing, is it?
  4. Leaving IPN?

    Yeah they will come after your LPN license if you drop out.
  5. Why do so many cheerleaders enter nursing?

    I am in my mid-30s. Play a lot of video games, have a Lego collection that is worth about 5k and read/watch a lot of scifi, historical and science-based nonfiction etc.
  6. Recovery in Indiana/IPRP

    If you can't stop without medical detox, you need to be open about that and then go to detox. Etoh was my drug of choice when I entered my state's monitoring program. (I was drinking on the job.) I went from a 2 to 3 pint a day habit to total abstine...
  7. I just got hired in a plastic surgery clinic. Are these red flags?

    I hope you are going to be hourly and not salary because I can see this job eating up all of your time once he has a patient base. Who is going to back you up should you want a vacation or be sick? Are you going to be expected to take call to answer ...
  8. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    My husband and I were hiking and climbing in Nepal last year. At one point, we were in villages that were a 2 to 3 day hike to the nearest village with a road and from there, a 6ish hour bus drive to the nearest facility approximating a hospital in K...
  9. Keto diet & pills on ca probation

    The problem with ANY supplement is that their manufacturing is not regulated. You do not know what is actually in these pills, if there has been any cross-contamination with other supplements being made at the facility etc.
  10. Anyone left TNPAP before contract end?

    I'd be interested in seeing how this plays out. I am in a different state but there was a lady in my monitoring group who self-referred for a mild etoh problem and than tried to back out after a year. The monitoring program alerted the BON who made h...
  11. Affinity and KNAP

    No. I don't know what the Affinity test is but I was just charged $45 for the A-panel when I was in KNAP.
  12. Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    So do you think that someone who believes that killing another living creature to consume it should...just eat meat, then? I am not certain how an ethical decision for many people is comparable to a fad diet. Muslims who stick to halal options can a...
  13. Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    Also a vegan option is instrinically halal and nominally kosher (the meal being kosher, the kitchen probably not), and covers the Hindu belief in not eating beef -- so you're covering a lot of bases. Certain Christian sects like the Seventh Day Adven...
  14. Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    What other people choose to do with their dietary practices isn't impacting you at all. Nobody is attacking you, yet you are being very defensive. Including a vegan option on the menu is not taking away from your rights to raise, kill, or consume ani...
  15. Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    Yay. I have been vegetarian for ethical reasons for 25 years and have, like another poster on here, been in hospital situations where my food choices were severely restricted to a small handful of things. And I eat eggs and most dairy products so it ...
