2. Personal Values as a nurse

   ChristiRN replied to ksurette's topic in General Nursing

   I work in a Jewish home and I am Catholic. I do not understand their ways. Meat and dairy can not be served at the same meal and the list goes on and on. I may not understand or agree but I respect their values. Respect. It is key.

3. Are You Nurse Jackie or Nurse Zoey?

   ChristiRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   I have been literally and figuratively Nurse Jackie. It took me years to watch the show but when i did I was hooked. The ending still haunts me. I strive now to be Zoey.

4. Understaffed with a heavy patient load

   ChristiRN replied to ashleesini's topic in Med-Surg

   My place I work is also understaffed. It sucks! Deligation helps some and time management but it is dangerous. I wish the higher ups got how dangerous it is and looked at that instead of the money.

5. Just self reported. Feeling hopeless.

   ChristiRN replied to AntelopeTongue's topic in Recovery

   Hang in there, do whatever they say, go to meetings, talk about it at meetings and wait. Life can and will get better if you do the right thing.

8. Finding a job after probation, will I ever be the nurse I really want to be again?

   ChristiRN replied to mymelody's topic in Recovery

   I posted most of my story above but my question is why for the rest of your life are you going to have to tell an employer that you diverted and that you were on probation?? At some point, your license will stop saying that you are on probation if y...

9. Ohio Recovering RN with Felony Conviction

   ChristiRN replied to JMWalker's topic in Recovery

   I am not on the OIG exclusion list (that would be worse I guess) but nursing homes in general, at least in western PA, wont hire nurses with a record (I am sure there are exceptions to this when a facility is desperate and overlooks). Also I think i...

10. Ohio Recovering RN with Felony Conviction

    ChristiRN replied to JMWalker's topic in Recovery

    I understand your pain. I am going thru it too. I live in PA and have what is called probation without verdict (only good thing is that it will be expunged in 2012) and I received this from diverting from work in 2007. Having a criminal record is h...

11. Dialysis job while On Probation with the PA DMP

    ChristiRN replied to RNZenpeaceful's topic in Recovery

    I only wish I could get a job in dialysis. I also am in the VRP (actually now in the DMU because of my legal issues) and have been for 2 yrs and 8 months (and because of the VRP's error, I have 2 years and 8 more months to go) BUT the place I worked...

12. Finding a job after probation, will I ever be the nurse I really want to be again?

    ChristiRN replied to mymelody's topic in Recovery

    In 2007 I diverted from work and denied it at the time. They made me the example and charged me with 75 felony charges. In the end, I ended up taking a deal called probation without verdict which means mine will be expunged in 2012 (gone not found ...

14. RN BSN in pa

    ChristiRN replied to ChristiRN's topic in Pennsylvania

    I went to my lawyer the other day to have him explain probation without verdict. I have not been convicted on any criminal violations. He wrote me a letter to help with the job search and in it it states "People who receive probation without ver...

15. RN BSN in pa

    ChristiRN posted a topic in Pennsylvania

    I need help. A few years ago, I received probation without verdict in the state of PA for diversion from work. I enrolled into the VRP and have been in it for 2 1/2 yrs. I have done everything they have asked me to do and more. I cant find a job....
