    Need Advice! CA BRN Will Not Accept My WGU Advanced Pharm Classes!

    Hoosier_RN replied to RNADN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, but I'll trust a non-profit before the profiteers. I'll agree though, that this student, and any others that consider the NP Program through ANY online do a thorough investigation in relation to...

    IS THIS JOB OUTSIDE MY SCOPE

    Hoosier_RN replied to MDFE's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    #1, if a protocol is developed, you aren't developing a care plan #2, this is going to depend on your state nurse practice act. Some states allow LPNs to do just about anything, other states are...

    I Think I'm Done With Nursing

    Hoosier_RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    If I could afford it, I would join you. I understand the claustrophobia all too well. All of my friends are non-nursing and they don't understand why I stay away from mask only events. Many (((hugs)))...

    Dismissal From Nursing Program - Is all hope lost?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Rach1234567's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unfortunately, you don't get to treat people you are caring for as a nurse based upon your perceptions of what kind of person that you think they are. Private nurse would have you in hot water even...

    Things I wish my patients understood

    Hoosier_RN replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    After 5 years of it, I just don't even get worked up about it anymore. I feel for clinic managers, dietitian and direct care staff that get a chewing out when metrics aren't met. When I was still a...

    Dismissal From Nursing Program - Is all hope lost?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Rach1234567's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, for technical, if you transfer classes (prereqs) and they are the same school as you were accepted into the nursing program, it will show that you started the program. That will leave you open...

    Moral character hearing NYS for Nursing license

    Hoosier_RN replied to PNGrad2001's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It would be nice if that's how it worked everywhere. Most states will not give you any direction until you've graduated nursing school, then do a case by case basis for those with any criminal record....

    Hoosier_RN replied to Bella1988's topic in General Nursing

    I will respectfully agree to disagree. OP was looking for someone to tell them that "mean ol employer" couldn't do this. In most cases they (employer) can, as long as no labor laws broken. OP got...

    Help - “New” grad working in dialysis with crazy hours

    Hoosier_RN replied to CN101's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    In my area, PD nurses are not required to be certified, but if they are, they prefer CNN or CDN. I spoke with the area Home therapies manager, and what you are looking at is okay, but not a...

    It's why I quit working PRN once I had a year in dialysis. I got the crappiest assignments. Most staff, and some management, acted like I was the step cousin that didn't deserve to be there. In...
