  1. Do I have to report depression/suicidal ideation to the Texas BON?

    Nunya replied to wolac992's topic in General Nursing

    If everyone had to report depression to their BON they wouldn't be able to do much else.

  2. Postpartum?

    Nunya replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't worked PP for many years but yes, it's generally a much happier place...when babies aren't screaming and Moms aren't crying! Lol. There's lots of emotions there what with hormones, lack of...

  3. DOJ review taking months to review???

    Nunya replied to LJ1's topic in General Nursing

  5. Getting yelled at by a doctor for the first time....

    Nunya replied to NewbieNurse93's topic in General Nursing

    A doctor who does this IS a jerk. NurseCard evidently calls them as she sees them. Trust me, not all doctors are good

    Nunya replied to Bloop41's topic in General Nursing

  8. Forced from RN to MA question

    Nunya replied to Jeannette's topic in General Nursing

    I would just keep asking the manager how to do things, and mention that you weren't trained on how to do it. Of course you'll only be able to ask once for each thing. I would also keep meticulous...

  9. Asked to Write a Formal Explanation

    Nunya replied to BSN_Studnt's topic in General Nursing

    A CNA allegedly tried to wake you yet you woke up yourself after 20 minutes? Why would she try to wake you before 20 minutes? Even if your break is 15 minutes... really? My view is if you're on...

    Nunya replied to It'sYaGirlK's topic in General Nursing

  11. Dropping off resume/portfolio to unit you applied to?

    Nunya replied to leighannquismo's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't want that personal information going to just anyone, who knows how many people will see it either before it gets to the manager or on her desk? My last job interview I did take a copy of...

  12. Potential new employer trying to rush me into accepting job offer.

    Nunya replied to sjukskoterska2020's topic in General Nursing

    I got my last job offer a couple hours after the interview, even though they told me they had to interview other people and I told them I had other interviews set up. This was on a Friday and I...

  13. Assisted Living-License in Jeopardy? Help!

    Nunya replied to Brenrn's topic in General Nursing

    You can always anonymously call your BON and ask....and report that facility at the same time. Maybe get a new job first? ? Think of it this way, even if your license wasn't in jeopardy, how bad...

  14. Show drivers license to patients in home health

    Nunya replied to guest1074618's topic in Home Health

  15. Graduate Nurse Status-Military Spouse

    Nunya replied to Kiras96's topic in General Nursing

    Call the LA BON, that way you'll have official word. Or HR where you're going to work either should know or will get the

  16. Free Standing ER Patient Abandonment

    Nunya replied to Bekardi's topic in General Nursing

    It looks you'd be ok if there weren't patients, but I'd just call the BON and ask

  17. Big Decision Please HELP!!

    Nunya replied to Jorge Rivero's topic in General Nursing

    One OT shift every two weeks will help make up that deficit, and I can't imagine any trauma ER that doesn't need people to work OT. Plus (as others have said) it'll be easier to transition later...

  18. Night Shift at a Rehab

    Nunya replied to Blueeyednurse15's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't experienced anything like this and if I did I would be job-hunting

  19. St. Louis New Grad

    Nunya replied to jamieo421's topic in General Nursing

    It's been several years but I worked at Children's from 97-02 and loved it! I was in the NICU staffing was great. Starting pay wasn't as good as I had hoped but since I wanted to move from a smaller...

  20. Hired on the spot? Take it or look elsewhere?

    Nunya replied to Dani_Mila's topic in General Nursing

  21. Just Say “NO” to Nurse Staffing Laws

    Nunya replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    How about cutting their salary AND bonus? I worked at a major non-profit hospital in St Louis and the CEO's bonus was over 5 times my salary! And WHY was his bonus so high? Because all us "little...

  22. Should I....?

    Nunya replied to KelsLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I'll bet it was a big role change becoming a LPN. And quite frankly, if you made it through LPN school (which one of my BSN friends taught at and said neither of us would have made it through ?) I...

  23. What area/nursing specialty do you prefer?

    Nunya replied to IamaNurse001's topic in General Nursing

    One of my good fb friends (meaning I've never met him) used to post funny/scary stories about his life as a corrections nurse. It wasn't on FB, I can't remember the site but I was fascinated. It...

  24. Need advice!

    Nunya replied to jennsrn's topic in General Nursing

    If you want good staffing try a NICU. I've worked in 4 civilian ones and there have been VERY few times when I thought staffing was inappropriate. Yes, there are shifts that are crazy busy but the...
