   HenryBood replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   SOme great feedback here and I agree with the comments! The thing is, no one really likes vomit. I have gagged myself. I have vomited myself at the sight, sound, smell of some of the things I am experiencing. But the thing is, I try not to make the p...

3. Help! I have to precept a new grad who already knows it all....but not really.

   Best of luck with this- a nurse who thinks they know everything to the point of not asking for help can potentially be dangerous.

4. How to eat on night shift

   HenryBood replied to Birdy2's topic in General Nursing

   While it does take time to acclimate to this new and somewhat unnatural schedule, you will after time. I think it is important that even if you are tired, you make the time to work out- this will help you feel better and sleep better. I also know tha...

   HenryBood replied to HenryBood's topic in Urology

   Thank you for that input- very appreciated. So it does seem like a true two weeks for the onboarding process. Is there anything I should be aware of/cautious for regarding this process? While I have nothing to hide, I cannot help but feel nervous. Di...

6. Recovering opiate addict accepted into nursing school; Can I attend while prescribed Subox

   HenryBood replied to MaleLPNStudent2's topic in Recovery

   Oh, one more thing. You have been through a lot. There are many nurses, medical professionals, and just people in general who could really relate to you and your story. When you do become a nurse, your background and your clinical training could uniq...

   HenryBood replied to MaleLPNStudent2's topic in Recovery

   Hi, First of all, congratulations for working towards both your dreams of nursing, and even more so for your recovery. I agree with most of these posts here- you really should not be practicing while you are tapering off. For more reasons than just a...

9. Davita Onboarding Process

   HenryBood posted a topic in Urology

   Hi everyone! I was hoping for some feedback on the Davita "Onboarding" process. I accepted a position, as was informed that the onboarding takes about 2 weeks. I guess this involves a background check, education and employment verification... does an...

10. Almost made a very bad med error today

    HenryBood replied to klone's topic in Medications

    Great responses, great post. I think that your integrity and conscience are the backbone of what makes a nurse a Good nurse. Everyone makes mistakes, and you following through to report a near miss could stop the next nurse from making the same mista...

    HenryBood replied to HenryBood's topic in Criminal

    Hi Matt987, I just saw your comment since I have not logged in in quite awhile. So, still here, still restricted. Still no luck in either the job front nor school. Just hoping for a break somewhere. How are you?

    HenryBood replied to HenryBood's topic in Criminal

    Oh, Esme12- I had originally posted this thread in the College section but I think it was moved to the criminally charged nurse section by the moderators(?) I would imagine.. again thanks for your response.

15. RN to BSN with a restricted RN license

    HenryBood replied to HenryBood's topic in Criminal

    Hi Esme12- Thanks for your response. I, too, have come to the same conclusion. No nursing education prospects for me, unfortunately, which ties in well with the limited job prospects. Of course, admittedly, all my doing and no one else's. Just frustr...
