   Pass NCLEX since 7/29 but license hasn’t posted

   Megan1977 replied to CAgirl23's topic in NCLEX

   All you did was take the NCLEX. Pearson Vue has your exam results but they don’t issue your nursing license. Each state has its own Board of Nursing and licensure requirements. In order to have the license post in California, you have to apply to the...

   When You Realize You Are Replaceable

   Megan1977 replied to Guest1189140's topic in Career Support

   No sympathy for you from me. Get vaccinated or find another place to nurse that will accept your pseudoscience research regarding Covid vaccinations. Choices have consequences- suck it up Buttercup

   BULLYING at work as Usual

   Megan1977 replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

   This is not bullying- your hospital has a procedure/policy in place for Covid accommodations - you haven’t completed the process, yet fault the employer. Many nurses have underlying conditions that make them more prone to Covid. Start the exemption/a...

   OMG, I cannot believe what I did. What I should do now!

   Megan1977 replied to SoNan's topic in General Nursing

   Or where that text will ultimately land up in the future. Much better to have these kinds of conversations in person.

   What Is Wrong with These Students?

   Megan1977 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Educators

   I also use enthusiasm, metaphors, stories and memes and I generally feel as if my students are engaged. I also use humor which helps to keep everyone in a good mood during lectures. Of course there are always a select few students who won’t engage, f...

   Professor working as a staff nurse on the side

   Megan1977 replied to PediatricRNTX's topic in Educators

   I have always had a “side gig” on the weekend (I teach on- ground Mon through Friday). Being in the clinical area keeps me engaged and definitely allows me to be more authentic with my students about what is currently happening in health care. I also...

   Terminated the third week into my orientation

   Megan1977 replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

   As a successful nursing manager, with a well functioning unit, I have to agree with this statement. Hopefully OP will get an opportunity to work again in acute care.

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    Bill Approved to Limit Treatment for Transgender Youth

    Megan1977 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Headlines

    As a white woman, I concur. Except white MALES have been over-represented in healthcare studies as a percentage of the population.  Women, of any color, have been shamefully absent in many research and pharmaceutical trials.

    Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    Megan1977 replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced

    Make sure you pay special attention to where there are shortages of PCPs. I live in a large city in California and NPs are having difficulty finding positions- many are in direct competition with PAs for some practice areas. The more rural areas are ...

    Should I pursue advanced training as an educator?

    Megan1977 replied to amzyRN's topic in Educators

    I am faculty here in California and I took a significant pay cut to teach. I work a per diem gig on the weekend to make up the difference.

    DNP vs EdD

    Megan1977 replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Educators

    The EdD is not being phased out in nursing- please cite your source for this assertion. Also- EdD is not a heavy research degree.
