    If you have a referral story, please share via PM. An example would be, X coworker doesn't like IPN participant, reports her to IPN for driving into a dumpster, a lake. IPN doesn't check to see if...

    I was accused of being impaired at work

    Persephone Paige replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    They can and they will report a nurse with a disability. We do not have the right to show up to work under the influence of a narcotic. If we are THAT sick, we should be home. Now, if we stayed home...

    Nursing Student with 2 DUIs

    Persephone Paige replied to StudentNurse123456's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Your biggest problem is that it happened and it happened in 2019. If you just had the 11/12 DUI, I'd be inclined to think the Oregon BON might be a little less concerned. This happened while you were...

    I have DUIs on my past record.

    Persephone Paige replied to Domino2019's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'm sorry if you already stated this, but how long since this all happened? I think you stand a very good chance with being able to produce what you have already done. Keep in mind though, the powers...

    Public drunkness

    Persephone Paige replied to luvanurse1's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I honestly have no idea, but learn from it. People love to gossip, so even if you make it out without the charge causing you problems, anyone can say, "hey, I saw nurse so-in-so staggering down Main...

    Nail Manicures

    Persephone Paige replied to SamiGee's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated before they had done all the studies they have out now. That being said, I have had fake nails before and I loved them. I felt so pretty in them. And on occasion, I will have a random...

    Cost of IPN meetings

    Persephone Paige replied to RNMOM1213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We are told that the monthly cost of IPN is $40. However, our facilitators have/do accept $10/wk from participants who have difficulty coming up with the full $40 at the beginning of each new month....

    Cry me a river...?

    Just watch the news and you'll get your answers. A generation of whingers... I miss the days when you could fight it out in the parking lot.

    Why don't we talk much about these scenarios?

    Persephone Paige posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have personally known one nurse who was attacked and killed in an intake facility. They found her body shoved up underneath the patient's bed. I get that there are certain inherent risks when...

    It's not fun, but it's doable. Expect to get a job in the places no one wants to work at first, then once you get a job you'll be able to find a better

    Teachers Discriminating against students

    Persephone Paige replied to Persephone Paige's topic in General Nursing

    For the poor nurse in the article... I sincerely hope they don't try and say that her death was unrelated to the attack. Even if a nurse is older or has health issues, he/she was successfully working...

    Is my license suspended immediately after I self-report an arrest?

    Persephone Paige replied to c.dom's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Why did you go over there? THAT is going to be the focus of everything. I understand the psychology of abusive relationships, I get the whole 'hard to break away from.' But, to an outsider like me,...

    What defines inpatient treatment

    I was always told it meant not going home to sleep. Partial hospitalization is spending all day at the facility, going somewhere else to sleep sponsored by the facility. IOP is coming to facility...
