    Homelessness

    RN licence surrender vs suspension

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Angela Haywood's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah I agree with Blonde. I wouldn't just surrender my license. Get a lawyer if you can afford it at all. If that's not possible go in front of the board and make a case for yourself as I don't see...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    NY Times article: loss of license

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to missmollie's topic in Nursing News

    What a stupid, stupid, stupid law. Garnish the Nurses wage. Work out a payment agreement. Something but taking their livelihood away pretty much guarantees no payment

    Catmom, Oh my GOD!!! You mean you will always be under a monitoring contract? The meetings, pee tests and all the other intrusive stuff forever??? That is horrible. I'm in Pennsylvania and will...

    Raises

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a Union environment and literally fought for every pay raise to get to the top of our wage scale but I have the mechanisms to do so through our collective bargaining agreement. I saw this...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to passports's topic in General Nursing

    How about a payment plan or in worse case scenario a reorganization bankruptcy. The Court should impose a stay against actions against you and this may include a debt related

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Nursing Grad dealing with the BON

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to nurse_girlie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Trauma is correct. If the question pertains to a 5 year look back period and you are beyond the 5 years to answer "yes" would actually be a false statement. Honestly, I wish you the best but I bet...
