  1. Reported to the BON for cellphone usage?

    Lady_Leijing posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I was fairly recently fired for having my phone out at the wrong time. Per hospital policy, we aren't supposed to have our personal phones out except in the break room, but at night, it's not uncommon...

  2. Has anyone on here taken the EBAS exam?

    Lady_Leijing posted a topic in General Nursing

    Long story short, I did something stupid about two years ago that got me fired from a job. As part of my punishment, I'm having to take the Ethics and Boundaries Assessment Survey (EBAS). I can't...

    Lady_Leijing replied to Lady_Leijing's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Lady_Leijing replied to Lady_Leijing's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ah, thank several of you for completely missing my question and assuming that I haven't learned my lesson or suffered at all being without a job for 2 and a half months. I'm literally asking what I...

  6. Reported to the BON for cellphone usage?

    Lady_Leijing replied to Lady_Leijing's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No, they never asked. They have my resume, so they know I'm not currently employed, but the question never came up and that feels like something you don't bring up unless

  8. Reported to the BON for cellphone usage?

    Lady_Leijing replied to Lady_Leijing's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  9. NICU to School Nurse

    Lady_Leijing replied to lnhRN's topic in School

    I'm curious about this myself. I'm also a NICU nurse who is looking for something different. I'm wondering: what sort of prerequisites do I need to make the switch? Is there a class or...

  14. NG tube question

    Lady_Leijing replied to RNinCali15's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm going to second what some of the other nurses have said: go with the hospital policy. I've worked at hospitals that required a position check and a residual check before every feeding if the kid...

  17. Trials

    Lady_Leijing replied to anony8204's topic in General Nursing

    *hugs* That really sucks. I escaped a really toxic workplace about a year ago--though mine didn't report me to the BON. It hurts, especially when you're blindsided by a list of "problems" that no...

    Lady_Leijing replied to Lady_Leijing's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The PCU in that hospital is next door to the L&D. One instance the mom was in L&D, while another it was the PCU. I always let someone know if I had to leave to check on a patient, and I tried...
