3. Nurse Charged With Homicide

   oneof5 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   When formal charges are brought against your license, in TN, it is not public until the board rules. When Ca brought charges against my license they made it Public the day they brought the charges up. So just because you don't see it on Nursys, doesn...

4. I think I'm gonna quit nursing

   oneof5 replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Nursing

   LOVE this and all of the other comments that help the rest of us who have had misgivings or never had that "calling" or "love" of nursing. I say if you want to go back to school or can, to do something else. Do it. I am 53 years old and am in my firs...

5. Nurse Charged With Homicide

   oneof5 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   All of this was tragic for the nurse and for the family. She most certainly shouldn't be charged. No one else in that facility that lent to the mistake was charged. They basically threw her under the bus. I don't even think she should have her licen...

   I asked and was told by the cashier it was because of handling money. I rarely see them handle money, most people use a Debit/Credit card. Idk.

10. Effect of Public Reprimand on Current Job?

    oneof5 replied to com4table's topic in General Nursing

    I was falsely accused of drug diversion. I was on a travel contract this past Spring and the whole assignment and staff was like being in an awful, awful nightmare. I was accused of drug diversion and fired by both the hospital and my travel company....

11. That's not a bad nurse

    oneof5 replied to stephen1219's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have heard that one a TON! But they always have a story to tell about how bad it was last time and how the 'Head Nurse" had to come in and start it. Well I started telling patients that I was "Head Nurse" when someone came to me and asked me...

12. Non potty trained students.

    oneof5 replied to peacockblue's topic in School

    You are correct! It has become a cultural issue. My stepdaughter refuses to potty train our granddaughter and she turns 4 in a few months. My husband has jumped on her several times and asked her how she is going to go to school wearing diapers and ...

    oneof5 replied to SuziQ63's topic in General Nursing

    That is why when I am done with my current assignment, I am leaving bedside nursing. Amen to your post! This is what I have been saying for months. When people hear my story they say, "Well surely the truth will come out and you will be exonerated"...
