1. Considering hospice

   mindiianajones posted a topic in Hospice

   Hey there, I'm a new RN of about 4 months working in med-surg at my local hospital. I used to work Hospice as a CNA before I completed my degree, and I loved it. I loved being one on one with my patient for an hour or so and being able to focus solel...

2. Question about licensure requirements

   mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in New Jersey

   I didn't realize it was so uncommon! I thought it was a little weird to require anyone trying to get a license in this state to have that certification, but I've never tried to apply for a license in another state, so I figured I'd ask. I definitely ...

3. Question about licensure requirements

   mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in New Jersey

   Perfect, thank you! I knew it was a sexual assault examiner so I thought it was a little weird that it seemed to imply you needed that before you could be licensed in the state, so I definitely read it wrong. But thank you for clearing that up for me...

4. Question about licensure requirements

   mindiianajones posted a topic in New Jersey

   So I'm planning to move to New Jersey in the next year and a half or two to be closer to family, and I was trying to look into requirements to get a New Jersey nursing license. I saw something about SANE certification. Is that a requirement to have t...

5. Could I have my license taken away

   mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

   Damn, for a second there, I was thinking oh okay, then the tetanus bacteria would have been killed off since it was just a light scratch. I'm going to cross my fingers and hope for the best. It wasn't a deep puncture wound, thank god. Just a light sc...

6. Could I have my license taken away

   mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

   Ah, thank you so much for this info! I can relax, now. I still really hope everything turned out okay. I'd hate for someone to get an infection because of anything I did or tetanus which was the worst thing I could think of, but I'm glad I'd be cover...

7. Could I have my license taken away

   mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

   Honestly, this made me feel a lot better. If only because I felt really dumb after everyone told me that I shouldn't use bacitracin or peroxide. Which is fine! I'm glad everyone told me because now I know. I just felt like duh, I should have known no...

   Thank you! I was most worried about him getting tetanus, but I haven't heard from him since it happened, so I have my fingers crossed everything turned out alright.

9. Could I have my license taken away

   mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

   I definitely did take a look at the BON, and a lot of it was medication diversion and being drunk or high while working, so for sure, way bigger fish than my possibly giving a guy an infection by accident. I'm a worrier, though, so I'm always thinkin...

10. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely am going to get rid of the bacitracin. I didn't realize it could cause so many problems. The little packets are even still available at my hospital in the supply closets because I'm pretty sure that's where I got it from. At least, it wa...

11. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it's just easier for me to think that when I have barely two months experience. My confidence for adapting to an emergent situation, right now, is next to zero. I still don't even feel like a real nurse, honestly. It's like I managed to scam ...

12. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I don't think my school taught us about it either, but at this point, I second guess myself so much that I think what if they did, and I just wiped it from my memory? This did make me feel a lot better about it, though, so thank you. I was...

13. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    I try not to, but I should have known better. I mean, yeah, I wouldn't have thought any different as a civilian, but I've been through nursing school and am currently working as a nurse however short a time it's been, so I should have been better abo...

14. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it was me being a dumb and thinking about what I could bring out to them instead of dragging them up inside. Hopefully, it doesn't happen again, but now I'll remember to leave the peroxide and bacitracin inside. I had no idea there was a rise o...

15. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I kind of panicked and was just thinking about what I had available quickly. It's not like it was a deep puncture wound, just a scratch, but it happened on our property, and I wanted to do something so I wasn't thinking about it very well. I ...
