    Call light misuse and abuse

    Persephone Paige replied to guest1048932's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think they don't know how to be alone. These people need a family member to sit with them. Unfortunately, the family is probably throwing a party that someone is having to put up with them. I know...

    Stuttering medical assistant or nurse?

    Persephone Paige replied to Breegall93's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I guess I could be naive, but I would certainly hope there's a place in medicine for you. I have a special place in my heart for anyone who faces adversity. Just start off as a doer and ask if it's...

    Requesting TPAPN / TBON Walkthrough

    Persephone Paige replied to SturblrBurblr's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm not in Texas, but where I live I know some nurses who got a lifetime membership to monitoring. I wouldn't share unless I ended up straightjacketed in the booby hatch. Have you ever lost touch with...

    Failed last semester and it hurts

    Persephone Paige replied to HopefulRNtay's topic in General Students

    I can't speak to the course. I don't know what grades indicate. I know what they don't indicate. They don't indicate that you can't be a good nurse. I could ace any exam they put in front of me. I do...

    I am sorry but I had to do this...

    Persephone Paige replied to NurseCard's topic in Nursing Humor

    I love it. I still don't believe the OP of Nurse Brutality is a nurse. Probably someone who went to an ER or accompanied a family member, friend, etc.. And got mad because they weren't permitted to...

    Anyone Know About Getting a Law Degree?

    Persephone Paige replied to mimifromtx's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If I were younger, I might consider it. But, I'm not. I guess my thoughts are financial in origin. I think you could have a section of your practice devoted to helping folks like us, maybe that could...

    Sick.. need medicine!

    Persephone Paige replied to Nursealc123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have horrible allergies and in Florida we are allowed to take Zyrtec. I also use a Neti Pot and stick Q-Tips up my nose. LOL I know that sounds horribly dangerous, but they don't go anywhere and...

    Have I proceeded correctly?

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

    Hey all... I heard from my case manager ( the normal one, not the fill in battle axe ) and the drug-screen specialist. I think I had mentioned before that they went ahead and sent the split screen in...

    Have I proceeded correctly?

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

    Appreciate the input, cats and spanked. I signed on to Affinity and the urine test I submitted yesterday is already back, it's negative. I have this entire line of beautiful negatives, a positive (...

    Do nurses get away with nurse brutality

    I liked the 'straining' myself. Straining to poop, straining through a colander, or

    So much anger

    Persephone Paige replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would just like it if there were facilities we could depend on to be IPN friendly. Perhaps the monitoring programs want deniability? I have a really good group and everyone is doing well in their...

    IPN/Exemption

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

    I cannot remember everything about this situation, but I do know that if you go onto the AHCA website, you will see the exemption paperwork. They should also give you a number on there to call and...

    Can I get into any Texas nursing school

    Persephone Paige replied to Godlovesme1's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    All of the hospitals I have applied to use the 3rd party background checks ( maybe that's name based ), not just the level 2 AHCA background checks. My level 2 shows up clean, because my arrest was...

    Different drug testing options

    Persephone Paige replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wish I could give you a more concrete answer. They lady in my group who gets every three month hair samples was a first time IPN participant. She came voluntarily to be treated for opiate addiction,...

    Different drug testing options

    Persephone Paige replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's pretty hard to do. It depends on your history. We don't have 1-4 here, we have A, B, C. I was a straight opiate addict who had a clean hair and fingernail test at my evaluation for IPN. I had...

    Option 4 taking forever!

    Persephone Paige replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't normally check but I was scared I might come up dilute. I checked in later than I usually do and that day I had to take my grandbaby to the audiologist. I had already slammed 2 large coffees...

    So much anger

    Persephone Paige replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was Pollyanna. I knew I needed help and I have gotten it. I just wish I could get a job. I don't mind the money, I don't mind the monitoring, I don't mind cleaning up the wreckage of my past. But, I...

    Persephone Paige replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I guess you don't feel comfortable sharing a generic scenario of what you may be going through? Thing is, I don't think I was ever referred to the AG. But God only knows, my experience has been such...

    Hey all... I'm having a very difficult time being positive lately. My decision to get my license back took a while, then the whole face the BON, get into IPN, complete the RN refresher course took...

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

    Hi Cats, I am unable to relocate. The two cities North and South of me are able to accommodate me, if they will. My mind messes with me and I imagine their looking at the whole picture and saying, "...

    Can I get into any Texas nursing school

    Persephone Paige replied to Godlovesme1's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Is it a felony? I'm sorry, I'm not from Texas. Were you charged? Can you get it expunged? I just replied to another post similarly. Sometimes the school isn't the problem, sometimes they are fine with...

    Please also check with the hospital where your prospective school holds clinical. Colleges requirements are different than the hospitals they contract with for clinical experience. A college will...
