   DoubleblessedRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   That RV is a very serious safety risk and liability, The debate is whether her license should be reinstated when some states continue to license nurses who are just as risky and have a proven track record to support it.

2. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

   DoubleblessedRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   I wasn't generalizing; I just used this as an example because my employer hires nurses on probation or with a restricted license, and there was a particular RN whose scenario is very similar to that of the nurse on meth. (She no longer works at my f...

3. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

   DoubleblessedRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   WHY does she want her license reinstated? WHY does she want to work as a nurse again? Is she hurting financially? Does she want to right a wrong? Does she really care about people, their quality of life and making a difference? Hard to say with ...

4. Phasing Out ADN?

   DoubleblessedRN replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

   I just don't see it happening, at least while I'm still working as an RN. They've talked about it for many years and it hasn't happened, and when COVID first surfaced I think the severely critical shortage was much more realized. They've also talke...

5. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

   DoubleblessedRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   That’s what a lot of this all comes down to…immaturity. All of those nurses in the video looked under 30 and probably had very few life experiences. To me, the most disturbing comment on the video was the nurse’s rude and condescending reply when a...

6. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

   DoubleblessedRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, and I have heard some say terrible things. I used to work on a unit, and there was a patient who whined a lot. In the break room, nurses and other staff were laughing behind that patient’s back, mocking and imitating them. One time, I even he...

7. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

   DoubleblessedRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Very inappropriate and uncalled for, and I think they all deserved to lose their jobs. We all have our pet peeves, and it’s OK to vent with other coworkers and colleagues, but there is a time and a place for everything, and you want to be somewhere ...

9. Does being addressed as "Nurse" annoy anyone?

   DoubleblessedRN replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in General Nursing

   I am proud to be a nurse, I worked for it and I earned that title in my own right. It’s just annoying. Sort of like men who are nurses who don’t like to be referred to as a “male nurse.” Or as another poster mentioned being called ma’am (although ...

10. Does being addressed as "Nurse" annoy anyone?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work in cardiac cath lab years ago, I agree...there are some situations when it's necessary. For example, whenever I finished holding pressure after an arterial sheath removal I would instruct the pts on s/s of a hematoma, bleeding at the ...

11. Does being addressed as "Nurse" annoy anyone?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve worked psych for four years and I occasionally work with adolescents. I don’t ever recall being called “nurse” by any one of them, as a matter of fact, they’re usually pretty respectful and ask if I’m the nurse and what’s my name.

12. Does being addressed as "Nurse" annoy anyone?

    DoubleblessedRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for 14 years now, but this hasn't occurred much up until the past few years. I work in a psychiatric hospital, and patients often address me as "Nurse.” It happens in all kinds of different scenarios: requesting a PRN med; going o...

13. Mentioning recovery from mental illness in a job interview?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to lunalilith's topic in Psychiatric

    It’s probably too late to be answering this question, but for anyone in the same predicament: I would not mention it during the hiring process, but if you’re hired perhaps you could confide in maybe one or two coworkers you trust. I wouldn’t really...

14. Excelsior Grads - Where are they now?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to EricJRN's topic in Excelsior

    The way I understand the compact licensure (I don’t live in a compact state, but there is also pending legislature) is that if one resides in or declares a compact state as their primary state of residence, s/he is eligible for the compact license wh...

    DoubleblessedRN replied to penelopelp's topic in Psychiatric

    I work in a large psychiatric hospital, and when we take a report from the sending facility, we ask specific questions about symptoms in regards to COVID 19. I’m not aware of any patient has been turned away as a result of any yes answers as there a...
