Congrats on being the MC! I was too! Your speech sounds fine. My advice is to make sure to speak at a NORMAL speed and "pause" inbetween most sentences, especially when transitioning to a new...

Josh, There are PLENTY of RN's here that have taken the plunge with school in our 30's or later. You may just surprise yourself (like I did) that your study habits and attention are much better at...

I use a drill vac. When I can't, I have my Miele vacuum turned on to clean the air as I'm working

$90 every 2 years in Idaho, no CE required.

I am a sole proprietor. I have a DBA, business checking account, no lawyer, no accountant (for the business...but my personal accountant helps with questions). I use quickbooks. My accountant said...

I am one who hates to float! I was a L&D RN and would be required to float throughout the hospital units. Floats always got dumped on, ALWAYS. That is the main reason L&D hated to float. I would go...

I am very sorry for the loss of your dear son. May God be with you and your loved ones during this very very difficult time. I can't even imagine the pain you all are having. Lisa

What state are you in? That can make a huge difference in finding clients!

When I was an L&D nurse I had checked a pt as anesthesia was on the unit to do an epidural for her. I needed to make sure her VERY slow labor was progressing. She was a VERY easy check and had...

Most BON's will state that you are remaining in your scope if you have been taught the skill in your nursing program or have received additional training in the area of expertise. Some states...

RN's are definately allowed to do diabetic foot care! The hospitals just deny us the ability because of the risk associated with it. As an RN, I am not able to bill medicaid/care or insurance in...

I worked with one, and while she was great with her patients (compassion, education), she LOVED to micro manage the nurses...in a very, very condescending way. I was glad when she moved.

I got a very nice lab coat with my name embroidered on it, a beautiful (large,thick) glass blown orchid and some candy cane infused vodka! My dh is a mailman and out-does me every year. Candy, gift...

I'm good at NICU blood draws and NG placement. My forte' is education though, either patient or staff.

My unit director told me that a fellow RN had gone to the CNO to lodge a "few" complaints about me. First one: You spend too much time with your patients. (I was a L&D nurse and we almost always...

I am in Idaho I have a clinic site (isn't up and running yet, but I have one). It isn't under any regulation for inspection that I know of. I only accept private pay so no surveyors. I don't know...

In my state, if you are performing a nursing task beyond your education or training (even if it is a procedure an RN is allowed to do), then you are practicing OUTSIDE of your scope.

If I am unsure about whether something falls within my legal scope of practice, how can I find out? Answer: You can contact the New York State Board for Nursing by...

I know West Valley has hired new grads. They are a smaller hospital in Caldwell. Good luck to you!

Board Additional this should get you to the "forms" section on the BON website. Hopefully that will answer your questions on the fingerprint/FBI thing.

I HIGHLY suggest that you visit the "Specialties" forum here (with an open mind and a thirst for a direction). I have been a nurse for 4.5 years and have become bitter against the "corporations"...

Our family planned our move to Boise for the entire 2 years I was in nursing school! We have been here 5 years and still feel like we are on vacation!! We moved here because of the schools and...

Hey Bizi...if you go to a facility and do group care, does each person get a file that you hold on to? What about senior centers where it isn't a medically based location?

Ugh, I just typed this long reply and hit the "leave a comment" button on the bottom right. Wrong button. I took my training from someone who lives in No. Cal. and she has been a foot care nurse...

I knew you could do it! Awesome!!:dance:
