    Being bullied at work

    Persephone Paige replied to Mariah2019's topic in General Nursing

    No, I never did. I've struggled with ADHD and Asperger's. Half the time, I think maybe it just went right over my head. Maybe the messed with me and I didn't give two ****s? I was so absorbed with...

    Persephone Paige replied to txels9's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I knew a nurse who had very limited eyesight. Her mom contracted Toxoplasmosis when she was pregnant with her. She went to Nursing School and the ADA provided equipment for her so she could do case...

    Being bullied at work

    Persephone Paige replied to Mariah2019's topic in General Nursing

    There must be something wrong with me. Do nurses just come up and get in another nurse's face? How does anyone have time to pay attention to what someone else is doing? Nobody ever bothers me, they...

    Pre-Trial Diversion program and Licensure.. Help!!

    Persephone Paige replied to NurseT3's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I don't know any specifics about public assistance fraud, but my biggest concern would be that the case is still 'open' (not dismissed yet) until you pay back the money. I've known several people in...

    Sleeping nurses

    Persephone Paige replied to kjnsweets's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have heard 'the culture of the unit' so much lately and it's true. I have no idea how someone could come to work to take care of sick people and fall asleep. I couldn't even sleep when my kids were...

    Are there any hospitals that will pay for nursing school?

    Persephone Paige replied to Daniellednm's topic in General Nursing

    Many hospitals claim to pay and back in the stone age, when I was in school a lot of our class had help from the local hospital. Now though, I've had so many nurses say that it's a listed benefit, but...

    I accidently took home a zofran in my pocket.

    Persephone Paige replied to MarqT's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I concur with the ones who said take it back and put it in the OmniCell. Even if the patient has been discharged, we can still pull them up on the Global List and put it back. I always worry...

    Persephone Paige replied to tralnurse4support's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey there, Just wanted to say that I'm sorry you are going through this and offer support. The big thing to remember is that very often these entities see only that we have a 'qualifying' issue that...

    hair follicle testing . does it distinguish between types of opioids ?

    Persephone Paige replied to funnygir's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There are several synthetic and semi-synthetic opioids in the list that you gave. I guess I'm not understanding your question. If a hair test is run, they will do an initial less in depth examination...

    If I hate my CNA job should I still pursue nursing?

    Persephone Paige replied to Talia Lynch's topic in Nursing Career

    Unless you live in a State with mandated Nurse/Patient ratios, expect to be chronically understaffed for the rest of your career, if you choose bedside nursing. Also, you never get away from cleaning...

    Misappropriation of narcotics/addiction

    Persephone Paige replied to Vanessa48's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wish I had a crystal ball and could've seen past and future. I was so overcome by shame that I allowed myself to be railroaded into a one size fits all program. Monitoring didn't get me clean... I...

    This I know to be true, regardless... If you are sincere about goodness and bettering your life, nothing bad can come of doing all you can to make your dreams a reality. Research, write for...

    What am I look at? Costs? Timeline of program?

    Persephone Paige replied to MedicRN1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's not necessary to be in a diversion program to get clean. The OP is facing a lot of financial hardship. I get that you're all gung-ho right now, good for you. I find the majority of your posts to...

    What am I look at? Costs? Timeline of program?

    Persephone Paige replied to MedicRN1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Seek an attorney before you 'admit' to anything. And there's nothing stopping you from going back home and working in Michigan till they catch up with you. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for recovery....

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

    Sign on to the expungement portion of your local division of law enforcement. They have a form you can download that will tell you what charges are eligible for expungement. I would ask an attorney, a...

    [CA] Applying to school, but arrest but no conviction

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

    The big question is always, 'what was the charge?' And of course, the relevance of time since the arrest. If it was a drug related charge and it's only been 2 years, you're probably facing an uphill...

    NPDB

    Persephone Paige replied to Literal Nurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The NPDB will often come up on background checks, so they probably know about it even if you weren't the one who disclosed it. Best advice, be honest. If you are meant to have the job, your honesty...

    Persephone Paige replied to jordans's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Unacceptable for whom? First rule of Fight Club, I mean the BON/probation/monitoring, etc... The wait time is what they say it is. Get used to it... They don't get in a hurry for anyone or anything....
