1. RN Sup pay rate?

   crazin01 posted a topic in LTC Directors

   hi all. Yes, I've done some research, but as usual prefer to get input from actual people. I'm very new to long term care but have 16 years RN experience (varied: mostly cardiac, some ICU, trauma step-down, hemodialysis, psych/addiction for s...

2. Terminated for suspected diversion, PNAP now involved

   crazin01 replied to neuronurse2023's topic in Recovery

   just curious how your 'case' is coming along? any further developments with the BON or criminal charges for diversion?

3. Student professionalism

   crazin01 replied to dumbnurse's topic in Professionalism

   DAMN! If a student went off like what you described when I was in nursing school, they would've been penalized. Or rather, they likely would not have gone off on a tangent like that. What was her rationale for being late that day? if she was awake...

4. How to address a lazy nurse who continuously makes mistakes?

   crazin01 replied to Vee D's topic in Professionalism

   I concur with the not using a colleagues specific name. Perhaps just 'notepad unavailable, taken out of client home.' or something along those lines. And yeah, that's utter BS that management hasn't addressed it. It'd be different if you all had y...

5. lost Nursing license..starting reinstatement process... looking for advice

   crazin01 replied to treysealuv's topic in Criminal

   My license wasn't revoked, but suspended for one year (related to the monitoring program) and I was able to get it back rather quickly, once the year was up. The part that took the longest for me, was because I had to have our support group therapis...

6. Can I work as a RN in another state while in PNAP?

   crazin01 replied to Nurse099's topic in Recovery

   I apologize, I don't have an answer for you, as far as being able to work in another state while in PNAP. In all likelihood you will have to enroll in PNAP upon applying for PA licensure. At least that's been what I have seen/heard others. I never...

7. Job hunting while monitored

   crazin01 replied to Rhys654's topic in Recovery

   I never put it on my resume or application. I always preferred to discuss that subject during an in-person interview. It usually comes up fairly quickly, as I had a large time gap between nursing positions & was questioned about that. Ju...

8. Moving to new state

   crazin01 replied to CSCRNP's topic in Recovery

   I second the idea to look into the new state prior to making plans. I have heard where people have had to restart the new states' program once moving there, despite completing the first program without issue successfully. Best of luck!

9. ALMOST there!

   crazin01 posted a topic in Recovery

   I am almost done with this monitoring & couldn't be happier! My official date is less than 3 weeks away! Then, it's just waiting another week or two to hear from the board and I am DONE with it! It's just been such a long road, full of BS, lies...

10. Florida IPN disaster

    crazin01 replied to DFB's topic in Recovery

    you are correct in saying these programs are all about the money! That's all it is, punitive & demeaning & they love to control things, simply because they know they can because they've got you by the short & curlies! Kudos to you for ad...

11. Board Order: Sabotaged by doctor

    crazin01 replied to LucyLu123's topic in Recovery

    OMG, what a dick! I'm so sorry to hear this! What about contacting your case manager, thru the monitoring program? Or are you only under the board order & don't have to participate in your states' monitoring program for HCP? Could he sp...

12. Recovery Trek Question/Board Order

    crazin01 replied to LucyLu123's topic in Recovery

    yeppers. They typically do this type of thing towards the end to psych you out & as you said, get every last dollar they can! less than a month til July, keep it going & you'll be done!

13. Questions! Help please!

    crazin01 replied to Oneday82's topic in Recovery

    Wow, such a mess. I'm sorry, I can't offer much input about the drug court thing. But as far as a job, in nursing, addiction & SA nursing are usually friendly towards those with restrictions upon their license. AND a bonus, it helps you keep y...

14. I'm a new employee, how do I deal with a passive aggressive coworker?

    crazin01 replied to cookie123d's topic in Relations

    WELCOME to nursing! It's unfortunate that women, especially in understaffed & stressful situations can be catty. I much preferred ICU & lots of male nurses to even out the hormones!! Given your new, it truly sounds like they are just...
