   You keep saying "surrender". If you surrender a license in one state other states don't look too kind on that.

2. Licensing question

   rnbusmgr posted a topic in General Nursing

   Does one have to maintain an active license in their original state of licensure (RN) to obtain endorsement in other states. Example: Original state of licensure was Texas in 2009; moved to Alabama after 6 months, have active Alabama license now bu...

   Why was this subject placed under Nurses with a Criminal History. There is no crime involved with this issue. I resent that you put this post under this subject. I have no history of being a criminal.

   Yes they did it was a RECOVERY program for dependency on pain meds. The point I am making is that there is no reason to fine me at this point for a discipline in 2006. The recovery program has been completed. I have no affiliation with California ...

   I went into the Mississippi Nurse Recovery program in 2006 and completed it in 2011. I have no affiliation with California at this time except for an expired license. I have not tried to reactivate it or anything. This legal case just came out of ...

   I did nothing. My discipline happened after my Ca license expired. I have not tried to reactivate it since 2005. I don't understand. The previous discipline I had in Mississippi had no bearing on California. I would understand if I was trying to...

   I have an issue and would like some feedback on what others out in the nursing world think. I was licensed in California as an RN years ago when I did some travel assignements there. My Ca license expired in 2005 and I did not reactivate and have n...

9. Your thoughts/reasons patient is in pain or addicted or what...?

   rnbusmgr replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

   It happens all the time...most patients with chronic pain do become addicted to their medications, but I always try to remember..."this is not rehab". it is irritating, we have patients that set their alarms on their cell phones so they will wake up...

10. Anyone have experience with SSRI/Effexor withdrawl?

    rnbusmgr replied to PennyLane's topic in General Nursing

    I took myself off paxil but it took several months of decreasing the dosage. i still had the "zapping" but it was not as bad as it could be. you must go slow with the tapering off.

11. New nurse nights are days

    rnbusmgr replied to Rnshar's topic in General Nursing

    Try working a 7 on 7 off or 5/2 split. I love nights and work 7 12 hours shifts then am off for 7 days and can adjust back to day schedule pretty easy that way.

12. Horrific Write Ups? Has it ever happened to you?

    rnbusmgr replied to NonieJuice's topic in General Nursing

    yes hospital politics is craaazzzzy, the patient is always right it seems, i sure would like for them to back the employee once in a while. my horrific write up was unbelievable. I was working on a medical floor with 3 nurses and a tech, one of the...

13. Nurse to Patient Ratio

    rnbusmgr replied to flg2008's topic in Safety

    They are crazy and you are crazy for taking report....it is your right to refuse. You have to protect your license no one else cares in the end. Sad fact but true.

14. Call offs d/t low census

    rnbusmgr replied to FritoPie's topic in General Nursing

    Nope shouldn't have happened. That was an extra, unscheduled shift for that part-time employee. Whoever staffed that day was wrong.

15. How have you helped save your unit money?

    rnbusmgr replied to jojoroo's topic in General Nursing

    Reusing SCD's, I believe that is a safety issue and joint commission would probably have a hey day with that one. I always make sure lights are out and air is turned off in all empty rooms.
