I think the NCLEX and nursing program I was trained in was BS to begin with. Essentially, most NCLEX questions can be answered by either studying Kaplan or some other test prep materials. My nursing school dean admitted to me that only 70% of our m...
Make $52,000 a year with 6 years of experience as an RN. I have a BSN. A decent house 2000 sq ft + house costs about $300,000 in my area and a new one with the same sq ft about $400,000+ in my area. I make $1 an hour extra for being in charge of a...
We already covered that above. In 36 states it is legal and it's also legal under Federal law. I don't have any problem with being on tape. What do I have to hide? Transparency is important and something that is sorely lacking in healthcare leadi...
If an employer has job openings posted and is understaffed they can tell the state DOH that they would hire people, but no one is qualified to fill their positions, look at all the job openings we have open. Therefore, the legislature will put more ...
Don't worry, the admins that started down this path to a hellish environment years ago probably got massive bonuses and moved up in the company ladder so they can do the same thing at a systemic level. The new managers probably were told to run it l...
As for using an "illegal" recording in court, there have been many instances where such recordings have been approved by the court when criminal conduct is captured. It's not black and white. Anyhow, I record conversations. Once you're illegally t...

Medicine and nursing is very corrupt. That's why CYA is always cited. Additionally, never go into a manager's office without your smart phone recording the convo. They like to have a manager and someone else in there as their witness when they do ...

Sorry you were fired. Knowing what I know about administration it doesn't surprise me even if you did nothing wrong that they would drive you out for something unrelated to the real reason they wanted to fire you. It's interesting how many RNs seem...
I think people should document in first person and use other coworker's names and positions. The idea of this third person lingo being a standard and not using names being superior is a bunch of bunk and putting you as the note writer at risk. Ulti...
Sounds like it's time to walk. Just don't get involved. It's the regulatory agency's issue to find and solve. If you'd like, you can send info anonymously to the regulators. Additionally, if you do get involved, you should put it all in writing a...
