    Are my dreams over?

    Persephone Paige replied to rndreams00's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If this were a 10 year old charge, I'd say "don't sweat it." It's not that you haven't made the mistake a lot of others have in their youth. The problem is it JUST happened. And nurses or potential...

    ATT for good moral character evaluation in Massachusetts

    Persephone Paige replied to RNskiier94's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Does the paperwork say, "all charges dropped, nolo prosequi (?spelling) ?" Perhaps there's someone at the arresting agency you can ask about it. Chances are that the way they see it in law enforcement...

    Consent Agreement Error

    Persephone Paige replied to Boxer4dogs's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Also, in Fl., we have a 10 hour window in which to 'check in.' From 4am until 2pm... any check in after 2pm could spell disaster. It's happened to me once and I just selected 'self-test,' and ran down...

    Consent Agreement Error

    Persephone Paige replied to Boxer4dogs's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Our monitoring program requires us to submit an 'interruption' in monitoring when we go out of town. That way, if we are selected for a drug screen the program knows we are out of town. We call in, if...

    What is Abandonment?

    Persephone Paige replied to nycmoon's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Job abandonment, yes. Patient abandonment doesn't happen until you've taken report from offgoing shift and then leave your patients with no one to care for them. At least that's my

    Honey, you did a damn fine job! Keep your head up and your documentation going, document everyone you spoke to, what you did, etc... LTC administrators are known for being complete ********, which is...

    KNAP is D.U.M.B

    Persephone Paige replied to Short LPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's called, "because they can." As a nurse, we are not allowed to smoke pot on our own time, barely allowed to drink on our own time ( like if you have a 3 day weekend, you can drink Fri/Sat maybe,...

    Why can't you go for a massage at the local massage therapy schools? I think it's cheaper because they are students and you might actually enjoy

    What should I do?

    Persephone Paige replied to Thorn94's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    What are the charges? Was it for any type of violence? Or sales of drugs? If not, expungement should help. Many places don't do the background check until they offer you the job, it's a waste of...

    The Pre-Employment Background Check

    Persephone Paige replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Your background check and their background check may not be the same at all. They have access to information that the AHCA background checks may not report. Never lie or omit... they always find

    What everyone else said... If you are board ordered, your license is encumbered. Nursing programs don't like that. If you weren't board ordered, it would be

    Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

    Persephone Paige replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

    Nursing school was not difficult. The hardest part was getting in. I will mention the people in my class juggling work, families, etc... I don't know how they did it. If I had all that on my plate,...

    I'm having a little trouble understanding what you are saying happened. So, you were in DMU? What is DMU? The only thing I could find that said DMU, was Decision Making Unit. That was supposed to...

    I don't understand what a 'drunken bad call' is? The way I interpreted what you wrote was that you went to work after a few drinks, did something wrong and got popped for a UA in the AM? I don't know...

    Is it worth it

    Persephone Paige replied to Oldpro1985's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't need the money either. I'm doing it for integrity. I did the whole, 'is it worth it, etc.' Nurses are in a position of trust, we just are. When someone removed me from that position, it stuck...

    Who has time to deal with the same inappropriate questions over and over again? My nurse supports are very kind with an initial legitimate question. But, inappropriate and outside the realm of the...

    Mine had a zero policy too. I didn't listen. But, that was many moons ago. I think every place is zero policy with randoms, or they should
