  2. Is late or lack of Documentation a reason for fireability?

    Lisacar130 replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Nursing

    Upon a future reference check, most if not all hospitals have an internal policy to refer all reference calls to HR and then they only state dates of employment and title held because they are afraid...

  3. Being monitored but would like to move to another state

    Lisacar130 replied to Michellercruz's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If your license has been suspended, I assume you are past the point where discipline is not public and permanent... meaning even if you do get your license back and even years after monitoring is all...

  4. Should I do this?

    Lisacar130 replied to Lizliz24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, it is not like that. Depending on your area and demand for nurses, it could matter if you have an associates vs bachelors in getting a job (if you want to work in a hospital setting). The job is...

  5. Hoping for a miracle

    Lisacar130 replied to Feinhawk's topic in General Nursing

    I have been working in psych for the past few years and I have yet to lift any patient. (Maybe stay away from Geri psych

  6. Drug diversion

    Lisacar130 replied to Jshaneyfelt's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Whether you were diverting like crazy or not, it doesn't matter at this point, assuming you will test positive for Xanax. They will be required to report you to the BON for that alone. I hope you are...

  7. Marijuana

    Lisacar130 replied to JadaM96's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Most likely it is out of their system by now unless they are a heavy and daily user... But if this person is a nurse I wouldn't chance it. Any positive for marijuana, even for just a pre-employment...

  8. Suspension

    Lisacar130 replied to stasiastar's topic in General Nursing

    We all have a right to refuse an assignment we think is truely unsafe. We can, however, get fired for it. But if this nurse had worked the shift and something bad happened with a patient then the...

  9. Hiring an RN into private practice

    Lisacar130 replied to curiousMD's topic in General Nursing

    I would just suggest indicating the salary and "no benefits" on the job ad itself just to not waste your time... but I'm sure you'll find someone. The average nurse IS looking for more money but...

  10. Hiring an RN into private practice

    Lisacar130 replied to curiousMD's topic in General Nursing

    Well... if you're willing to hire maybe an RN "in recovery" you can post this in the recovery forum on here. There are lots of nurses on probation looking for a job that does not involve controlled...

  11. Suspension

    Lisacar130 replied to stasiastar's topic in General Nursing

    Here's the deal... this person can't get in trouble with the BON for abandonment as this person never got report. But this person CAN get fired for calling off and not giving enough notice, especially...

  12. Positive Drug Test TNPAP

    Lisacar130 replied to Bevel_Up's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Our tests are positive with just a tiny tiny amount of opiates... pretty much anything above zero. Normal people's drug tests have a much higher cutoff... it would take I think about 2,000 (whatever...

  13. New grad on leave with 3 kids under 3...HELP

    Lisacar130 replied to nursemom24's topic in General Nursing

    One thing to consider is if you leave now, you will likely be blacklisted from working there or anywhere else affiliated with them. I don't know if there are many hospitals in your area or if they are...

  14. Rejected from interview?

    Lisacar130 replied to Edcarlosliu's topic in General Nursing

    They probably make everyone wait to get word on if they were accepted as a way to make themselves look more prestigious. Like, they want you to feel honored to have been chosen for their program. They...

  15. 100k salary?

    Lisacar130 replied to pilot833's topic in General Nursing

    ICU/ER usually pays the same (or within a buck or two an hour) as any other floor. If you're married and don't need benefits, you could work registry/PRN somewhere. It usually pays a lot more per...

  16. Fired- Reason for leaving?

    Lisacar130 replied to Munchkinerin's topic in General Nursing

    OK here is what you do. Do an online search for companies that do employment background checks on your behalf. Such as: CheckMyReference.com Or CheckYourReference.com Etc. I haven't used these...

  17. Finding a job advice

    Lisacar130 replied to sarahellie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't know if this is accurate or not but check out the below link and look towards the middle "ARRESTS AND TEXAS EMPLOYMENT BACKGROUND CHECKS" Employer background checks in Texas: what do they...

  18. Finding a job advice

    Lisacar130 replied to sarahellie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think it depends on what state you're from... if pending charges would show up on a background check or not. I would ask your lawyer if it would show up. Try to get a safe job now that is more...

  19. How many have been arrested?

    Lisacar130 replied to DistressedRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You don't work there anymore, so i see no obligation to answer the questions. If they had enough evidence and had the desire to have you arrested, they wouldn't need you to fill out a questionnaire...

  20. Fentanyl shortages or DEA policing healthcare?

    Lisacar130 replied to Polskijames's topic in General Nursing

    The shortage is government created. Opioid shortages leave US hospitals scrambling -

  21. Going into nursing with a bad memory?

    Lisacar130 replied to MeAnurse?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I would ask your doctor about ADD/ ADHD? Well, it really helps to make a to do list, but that can only help so much. There are A LOT of distractions in nursing. A LOT. So I would really try to...

  22. a day for reflection

    Lisacar130 replied to poppycat's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi poppycat.... It's Lisa from Friday night in Bolingbrook. I broke my cellphone by dropping it and may have lost all my info. Text me Wednesday or later (I should be getting a new phone Tuesday) with...

  23. RN support group

    Lisacar130 replied to rnfarmer's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I go to the only 2 that exists in Illinois. They are free here. There is no counselor or anything. One of them has a nurse practitioner volunteer part of the year when she's in town but she is just...

  24. Family Member Watching Pro-terror/ Anti-America/ Anti-Semitic video

    Lisacar130 replied to sugarmagnolia3's topic in General Nursing

    Was this video on a phone or how were they watching it? On the TV? Is it possible this was a documentary of some kind and the nurse just happened to walk in at a bad time and this clip wasn't...

  25. Lpn

    Lisacar130 replied to Dterryy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah I guess we are a little confused... did you sign up for monitoring immediately after, say, getting caught and are you saying this is from using before you signed up? I would hope in a case like...
