    Renewing RN License

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

    They are going to be able to see it, just like a cop would be able to see it if he ran your info because you were pulled over. Anybody who deals with the protection of the public, vulnerable...

    Not sure what to do

    Suggestions anybody?

    Persephone Paige replied to kfhllc's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Pull a pEth test on yourself ASAP. Not sure where you live, but here in Florida we can long onto RequestATest.com and request this test through Labcorp. When the results come back they email them to...

    Renewing RN License

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

    I have not come across this one before. I wish you luck, but I'd prepare myself for the worst. Obviously this happened between renewals, so that means it's 'recent' in the world of BON/Law...

    Why is the general feel to this board that the Board of Nursing is 'out to get' us

    Persephone Paige replied to RecoveryNurse2015's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My thoughts are, "If you make drugs screens the way to prove I'm clean, why aren't they proof when someone is accused of using?" My friend was clean of everything and they reinstated her narcs...

    Student with ADHD

    Persephone Paige replied to Scottish _23's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    ADHD and Ritalin in the 70s/80s. After years of Medication I've found that if I have a job where I move, I retain. I could sit still to take a test if I knew the info, but I had a harder time...

    Reported to NPDB

    Persephone Paige replied to IrishCMSRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I hope so. That's what I'm counting on. My license is conditional, I hope that gets taken off too. It would really suck if it

    Persephone Paige replied to RecoveryNurse2015's topic in Nurses Recovery

    And it could even be both. I am still grateful for the opportunity to work again. That would NOT have happened for me without the second chance from the FBON and the 4th chance from IPN. When I was...

    Written Up

    Persephone Paige replied to medteleER's topic in General Nursing

    Word... Patient probably had a decent night's sleep too. Patients all up and down the hallways on enough Dilaudid to fell a draft horse, but let's get our knickers in a knot over a PRN order that can...

    Abusive families

    Persephone Paige replied to nurseguy213's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I love the families that think their presence is the only reason their family member is getting any attention. I give the same amount of attention to each patient, if they are sicker they get a little...

    Attention nurse bullies... and victims!!

    Persephone Paige replied to Xtina, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I get that. And I do get that everyone is wired differently. But, what are they going to do? They can't kill you and if they can't kill you, what can they do? It's my hope that every nurse who is...

    safe staffing legislation

    Persephone Paige replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I've never seen anyone walk out due to non safe ratios, I've seen call-ins that have left the nurses caring for 1:7. Nobody walks out, they just take the extra patient because they need to work. I've...

    Should I look for another job after 6 months in my SNF?

    Persephone Paige replied to 2018nurseandbeyond's topic in Nursing Career

    I have no advice except with the oncoming nurse report. I am the self appointed righter of wrongs, I have no idea if I'm a success, I only know they back up. You are you and they are they... We all...

    Depressed with Rude Coworkers in ICU

    Persephone Paige replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I would give anything if there were a "Peer Assistance" program for nurses. I have been where some of these nurses are and have learned through time and just plain exhaustion that they cannot hurt...

    safe staffing legislation

    Persephone Paige replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    For every ONE nurse that stands up, there are 5 nurses on staff who need the money and have to be there to earn it. All that happens if that one nurse stands up is they assign the patients she refused...

    The blurred line, patients, social media, and safety

    Persephone Paige replied to Maggie Ann's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    She's just looking for a sugar daddy. And he's looking for love (probably in all the wrong places). She didn't blast his confidential information all over social media. I agree, you're making

    Any way you could stay over and work a few hours

    Persephone Paige replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I understood more about how staffing works in our hospital, maybe it's the same everywhere. We probably have the best rapport with our manager and our people show up. That doesn't help us in...

    Persephone Paige replied to RecoveryNurse2015's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I couldn't agree more. A perfect picture of what can happen too. When my friend was reported for silencing her MIA coworkers Fentanyl drip, she was put on 'paid administrative leave.' She was charged...

    Persephone Paige replied to RecoveryNurse2015's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Self reporting is great, but it will not remain confidential. I have had to ask the local RN nursing school instructor to pass my narcotics. If you think your business stays private you're still

    Persephone Paige replied to RecoveryNurse2015's topic in Nurses Recovery

    All I'm going to say is that I used to be where you are, Chad. I spent 10+ years without a license, got my shot to get back in and I was grateful for it. I have no problem with protecting the public....

    Persephone Paige replied to RecoveryNurse2015's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am in monitoring for a reason and I agree with that reason. That being said, some of the things that happen to participants who earned a legitimate spot are still unethical. Because of a recent...

    Reported to NPDB

    Persephone Paige replied to IrishCMSRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I got the letter from the NPDB, but I'm not on the OIG. I think it comes to people who may have had suspensions and now have conditional licenses. It's just nurses who could go full retard, but...

    Attention nurse bullies... and victims!!

    Persephone Paige replied to Xtina, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    People are often too open at work. Work is what I do, it's not who I am. It's very possible to be genuine, without letting a coworker 'in.' I think victims invite predators by wanting something,...
