  1. Can I get a guess?

    ChryssyD replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Your friend is going to wind up in the monitoring program, which will probably be the best thing that's happened to her in a long time. Stock up on Kleenex--there will be some rough days/nights...

  2. Almost finished with ipn

    ChryssyD replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Agree with heynow--it really is anticlimactic; after all the drama and worry and nitpicking, one day it's just over. No follow-up, either, which I find a little weird. They obsess over your every...

  3. Ordered into InSnap for taking benzos as prescribed?

    ChryssyD replied to Melbot77's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My sympathies--I know how some Boards are. Yes, there may be more to the story, but, no matter what went down, I am sorry you're having to go through this. First, don't surrender your license. I'm...

  4. Is Faith Enough?

    ChryssyD replied to jaelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Awww...don't be like that! I'm the menopausal one here! First: About the kamikazes, etc.--rebuke accepted. You're right, of course--the fact that a statement seems maddeningly irrelevant to me does...

  5. Is Faith Enough?

    ChryssyD replied to jaelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I had to add, I really am not the sort of person to push an argument. But I like your style, Phil, and it just kind of bothers me that you can't deal with the substance of the argument rather than...

  6. Is Faith Enough?

    ChryssyD replied to jaelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Wow, Phil, you've really drunk the Kool-Ade! Again, the hostility of atheists to believers, no matter HOW compelling the argument, is a continual mystery to me. Because, most likely, I'm on your...

  7. Is Faith Enough?

    ChryssyD replied to jaelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Phil, I could do this all week. :) I love committed atheists...they're so much fun! God bless you (honestly) for being willing to don your mac and pull on the wellies to drag roof-guy to safety;...

  8. Should drug diverters be prosecuted?

    ChryssyD replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I admit I don't know all the states' particular practice acts, but I do know that, in the two states I lived in while being monitored, those who clearly diverted in order to sell are not eligible for...

  9. I am a new grad and can't wait to get out of orientation!

    ChryssyD replied to CRC12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You have gotten great advice so far. All I can add is to tell you what my mom (a nurse) told me when I graduated nursing school: Congratulations. Now you're ready to learn how to be a nurse. P.S....

  10. Should drug diverters be prosecuted?

    ChryssyD replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    And I agree that tolerance can build up and some can function just fine on narcotics; at the very least, they don't feel impaired, just as many people over the legal alcohol limit believe they can...

  11. Is Faith Enough?

    ChryssyD replied to jaelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Kudos, Phil--don't worry, be happy! For me, THAT is the essence of faith. It's not about "sky-gods," or flawed mathematical sums. I had the "When injury or illness strike, the faithful may well...

  12. Capitalism vs. Greed: What Has Been the Nursing Impact

    ChryssyD replied to Mijourney's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My job is to advocate for patients, not insurance companies or medical device manufacturers. I'm interested in protecting patients, not a corporation's profit margin. Single-payer is the only option...

  13. Should drug diverters be prosecuted?

    ChryssyD replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    None needed--just common sense. Vicodin is an opiate, a mind- and mood-altering substance. It can impair judgement, recall, and reaction time. It's hard to say how impaired a person could be after...

  14. Can you become an RN at age 19?

    ChryssyD replied to Drizzle203's topic in General Students

    In the US, it depends on the state regulations; in Florida, you have to be 20 or 21 (old lady with less-than-perfect memory here). There is also the problem of legal majority, with all the attendant...
