    Assisted living turned nightmare

    NurseBlaq replied to danij040866's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm trying to understand why all these catastrophes keep happening and you're still there. What's the real background story on why you haven't left and leaving doesn't seem to be your intent? None of...

    Nurse dating former patient?

    NurseBlaq replied to mzsuccess's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    So based on the update you gave him mixed signals. You should have reiterated the "no" on the first call, especially since you told him no in person initially. He still crossed boundaries when he...

    What can I do besides nursing?

    NurseBlaq replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    All of this! I thought I read she took Bio twice but then she says she only took it once. What? It's all over the place. Glad it wasn't just me that was confused and noticing only certain questions...

    Shouldn't Have Gone Down that Rabbit Hole ...

    NurseBlaq replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    This thread reminds me of why I never had a facebook account and when people ask me why not (like it's an act of Congress that I don't), I simply tell them because FB has more drama than

    What can I do besides nursing?

    NurseBlaq replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    Apologies, I thought I read you took it twice. I can believe it hurts and it's cause havoc in your life. Do you have an attorney? If not, why not? If so, I can understand not speaking on your...

    What can I do besides nursing?

    NurseBlaq replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I see. OP says she's taken the Bio twice and failed. I would have refused to take it once via attorney as it wasn't necessary when she graduated. The issue was on the school, not her so I...

    What can I do besides nursing?

    NurseBlaq replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to figure out how OP was a nurse for 8 years and this issue has only been a problem during that renewal. Most licenses expire every so many years, never have I heard of so

    Should I Travel?

    NurseBlaq replied to LaR3N's topic in Travel

    Like others have said, get your specialty in now. You can travel with med-surg experience but pay and options multiply with specialty

    University of Alabama (Capstone) DNP Fall 2018

    NurseBlaq posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Has anyone applied to their DNP program? I've applied to the dual DNP for fall 2018 and I'm super nervous. Looking for anyone who plans to attend, is currently in their program, or a graduate who can...

    University of Alabama (Capstone) DNP Fall 2018

    NurseBlaq replied to NurseBlaq's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Congrats but I won't be there. I was accepted into Nursing@Simmons but I'm on the fence about that, as well. I'm thinking I don't want to do FNP at all but instead PMHNP which isn't what I initially...

    Jahi McMath is finally at peace

    NurseBlaq replied to anon456's topic in Nursing News

    None of what you're griping about applies to anyone who has posted on this thread, none of it! You label people miserable and unhappy in a whole post that attacks us nursing professionals who have...

    Bored after 3 months?

    NurseBlaq replied to saradista's topic in Rehabilitation

    I think you should have spent a year to 15 months on the med-surg unit then moved on to something more critical like telemetry or some other cardiac unit, ICU, etc. You went the opposite way of where...

    NurseBlaq replied to anon456's topic in Nursing News

    Her mom needs some psychiatric help and have been that way for a long time. There is no justifiable reason to code a brain dead child for 2 hrs, literally none. May this child rest and her mom/family...

    Nurse dating former patient?

    NurseBlaq replied to mzsuccess's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That's not persistence, this IS stalking. Who harasses someone on their job after being initially turned down? No ma'am, cut him off and don't be playful, be stoic. He needs to know you're serious and...

    What can I do besides nursing?

    NurseBlaq replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    That still sucks because it was their duty to notify you. This whole situation is hateful. Is there a way to take the class at a B&M community college near you? If you pass the class and get an...

    What can I do besides nursing?

    NurseBlaq replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    Now I'm even more confused. If Bio 101 wasn't a requirement during the time she was in school how is it possible she never graduated because of that class? I'm understanding it as she took the class...

    NurseBlaq replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    What did they say you needed to do in order to be able to practice again? It's not like you intentionally were dishonest, so what was the suggestion? And how many other people are in the same...

    What can I do besides nursing?

    NurseBlaq replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    They made a mistake but corrected it. However, they're saying she should have never done anything because of Bio 101. That's like a core class and pre-req before certain nursing classes. I'm at a loss...

    What can I do besides nursing?

    NurseBlaq replied to Raven43's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused. Didn't your school have to verify education before you sat for the NCLEX? Sorry you have to experience this. But as someone else said, is there a way to retake the Biology 101, or...

    Leaving Nursing

    NurseBlaq replied to KSjo88's topic in General Nursing

    No. I agree you should leave that facility. I meant reconsider leaving nursing altogether. You worked hard to be a nurse, put in time, sweat, and tears. You stuck with it cause you liked it. Don't let...
