    Can I become a nurse in California if I was convicted of child porn possession in the state?

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

    My comment was meant for if they even made it that far. Most schools are not doing any "in person" clinicals having gone virtual, so OP may have found a loophole for that. Just wanted to let them know...

    Can I become a nurse in California if I was convicted of child porn possession in the state?

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

    You may graduate school and then be unable to take NCLEX, which the state evaluates on a case by case basis AFTER graduation. I would still likely think that the answer is

    Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    Hoosier_RN replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What isn't factual? Both of the case studies that macawake was discussing with me are indeed factual, and referenced as such. Yes, it's a slap in the face to participants, but not by anyone on this...

    Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    Hoosier_RN replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm saying that I can see where people could see a mandate by the govt on a bad or ineffective medicine packaged as a vaccine as comparable to bad outcomes. Then use the Tuskegee experiment as their...

    Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    Hoosier_RN replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can see where someone could deduce parallels to the Tuskegee experiment. Some of the recipients were injected with syphilis (during the experiment), some already had it, some had latent. These men...

    Twenty-two percent hospitals say they'll face a critical staff shortage in the next week.

    Hoosier_RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Clinic dialysis is already seeing this in Indiana. We have plenty of places to run positive patients, not enough staff to run. This is causing patients to be wait listed in some cases (transportation...

    Could masks be another vector?

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest584920's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Add hand hygiene to this list as well. I think its the single most important prevention method. You can wear a mask all day (correctly or incorrectly) , take it off, but if you don't wash/cleanse your...

    COVID: I'm ready to leave the hospital until the end of the pandemic guilt

    Hoosier_RN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I learned the hard way after almost losing my license years ago. Some things like fraud need to go above in house mgmt. They are usually involved, sometimes even driving the

    COVID: I'm ready to leave the hospital until the end of the pandemic guilt

    Hoosier_RN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not lying, per se, but perhaps don't see the big picture, other things going on that they're not aware of. Since not anyone of us are there to see specifics, hard to tell what is actually going on....

    Hoosier_RN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Macawake isn't in the US, so not part of US medical fraud. I will ask why would you report fraud to the persons who are part of the fraud chain that you're claiming? Why not go to your state board of...

    Mother-baby nursing VS pediatric nursing

    Hoosier_RN replied to futurern'2020's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, but, mom/baby, L&D are hard to get into. I think if that's a future desire, take it now, while offered. Many new grads on here would love to have the mom/baby offer. OP, good luck with...

    Because I have a schedule to fill and she does come in to work. She's just a jerk to be around. I'm hoping she gets her act

    80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Hoosier_RN replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Those are the things that are considered in the million papers. Pretty much standard for all RN-BSN bridge programs. Only exception, my bridge program, assessment was live. We went to a community...

    New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    Hoosier_RN replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    Considering that Covid has only caused issues for not quite a year, I do find it interesting that some in 2 to 4 year programs claim no patient interactions. Covid only accounts for a year. Longer...

    No, JKL33 is 100% right. Not everyone who cries bully is being bullied. I have a young tech that works in my clinic. If she doesn't get her way or gets in trouble for actions for her own doing, she...

    That's not limited to the field of healthcare. It exists in every setting out there. The employer has always had the right to tell employees what to do, as long as its not illegal/out of scope. Some...
