    Avoiding a dilute?

    As long as I wait two hours between wees and don't drink any more than average, I've been

    New Nurse/IPN

    Persephone Paige replied to Analgesic's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's worth it when you get released. You'll never regret making the situation right, but you'll often regret getting referred in the first

    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

    In my experience, the "Board" was very supportive. The people I went before were pleasant and very helpful. Once I left the "Board" meeting, the people I dealt with at the building on Bald Cypress...

    Freaking out over a patient fall!!

    Persephone Paige replied to Zenndaya's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It happens often on our floor. Almost everyone is on Lactulose and they all want to make it to the bathroom with their dignity in tact. We are a 1:6 nurse/patient and a 1:12 aide/patient ratio, I tell...

    Forgot to renew license

    Persephone Paige replied to gr8nurse2you's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm going to do this on purpose, next go 'round. Not the working without the license part, but I'm going to 'forget.' I won't actually have forgotten, but they won't know that. Then, I'll call up and...

    Freaking out over a patient fall!!

    Persephone Paige replied to Zenndaya's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Don't know what to say about this situation except, 'sorry.' I no longer 'get someone up' to the bathroom alone anymore unless I know them. I'll call the aide and we can do it together. I used to let...

    This MD culture

    Persephone Paige replied to darren_callcareer18's topic in General Nursing

    This MD culture

    Persephone Paige replied to darren_callcareer18's topic in General Nursing

    Could well be... Our ER certainly does at little as possible. They never hang their blood, they send up patients who get up to pee and promptly have a heart attack. All they talk about are codes. Our...

    Florida IPN practice restrictions

    Persephone Paige replied to Quickstepper's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They are more IPN friendly if you've already worked off your narcotics restriction. It's amazing to me that most places don't want to deal with it, but they'll hire you after it's behind you. So, who...

    For-profit nursing schools associated with lower performance on NCLEX

    Persephone Paige replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Saw this an thought I would weigh in, for what it's worth. I am sure that my experience is not the norm, but I did have it, so here it is. When I was seeking a clinical site for my board ordered RN...

    This MD culture

    Persephone Paige replied to darren_callcareer18's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital is unique in that very few MDs generate $$$ because none of our patients have any. There are the exceptions though and we do get a few admits with insurance. Our charting generates a...

    Worthless check and early denial

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

    Saying a little prayer for you! This is actually ridiculous, imo. Who among the working class hasn't bounced a check?! I am actually horrible at balancing a bank statement, my husband does it and I no...

    CEUs

    Persephone Paige replied to TexasLVN91's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I used NetCE this time and it actually broke it down into which providers the CE was intended for. I hadn't really given that much thought, prior to. Some were for respiratory therapists, etc... I...

    Tennessee Nurse RaDonda Vaught - Legal Perspectives of Fatal Medication Error

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

    This has certainly been true for me. I recently had to push Digoxin, I haven't done that in a coons age. Once I got the correct vial out of the BEAST (Omnicell), I sought out my charge nurse to find...

    How to find addiction psychiatrist for board eval???

    Persephone Paige replied to ksuSN12's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It will never go away until THEY are satisfied that you are not a psycho. I came back this time with almost 2 years clean and letters from everywhere. None of it matters... If you meet criteria for...

    Florida IPN practice restrictions

    Persephone Paige replied to Quickstepper's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, it's possible. In my group, our Marijuana people didn't get a narc restriction. IPN USED to have the night shift restriction, but participants were having such a hard time finding jobs that they...

    Tennessee Nurse RaDonda Vaught - Legal Perspectives of Fatal Medication Error

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

    Interesting the perspectives... To me, the paper trail is a big part of why she's getting 'away' with it. But, I get where you're coming from. An orientee would be a big distraction, but I think...

    Persephone Paige replied to darren_callcareer18's topic in General Nursing

    Recently had a doctor think I should've taken something a patient said more seriously, he had me stay in the room with him as we discovered together that it was orthostatic hypotension. But, I took...

    Is this nursing?

    Persephone Paige replied to Catalin's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on the facility. The place I work serves the under served. It's like a free-for-all. And I'm not kidding... It's actually a great hospital, buy reputation. But the patients and the...

    Tennessee Nurse RaDonda Vaught - Legal Perspectives of Fatal Medication Error

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

    This is going to sound 'way out there,' but it's been on my mind over the last few days as I've read more and more about the case. And the more I've learnt, the less 'way out there' it seems. Every...

    Malpractice insurance (NSO)

    Persephone Paige replied to Anon143's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Interesting question. I was able to obtain insurance as a 'student' when I took my RN refresher course. I didn't yet have my license back, needed the 96 hours of clinical to do that and the school...

    License renewal

    I thought about posting this elsewhere, but decided to post it here because it's because of addiction/recovery that I had this experience. This was my first time renewing my license in many a moon....

    The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    Persephone Paige replied to SL2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This has been my experience as well. Horrible.... especially if they have family who are caring, yet in denial. These poor people linger, for so long. And one 'blink' in answer to a question and it's...
