1. Considering hospice

   mindiianajones posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

   Hey there, I'm a new RN of about 4 months working in med-surg at my local hospital. I used to work Hospice as a CNA before I completed my degree, and I loved it. I loved being one on one with my...

2. Question about licensure requirements

   mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in New Jersey Nursing

   I didn't realize it was so uncommon! I thought it was a little weird to require anyone trying to get a license in this state to have that certification, but I've never tried to apply for a license in...

3. Question about licensure requirements

   mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in New Jersey Nursing

   Perfect, thank you! I knew it was a sexual assault examiner so I thought it was a little weird that it seemed to imply you needed that before you could be licensed in the state, so I definitely read...

4. Question about licensure requirements

   mindiianajones posted a topic in New Jersey Nursing

   So I'm planning to move to New Jersey in the next year and a half or two to be closer to family, and I was trying to look into requirements to get a New Jersey nursing license. I saw something about...

5. Could I have my license taken away

   mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

   Damn, for a second there, I was thinking oh okay, then the tetorifice bacteria would have been killed off since it was just a light scratch. I'm going to cross my fingers and hope for the best. It...

6. Could I have my license taken away

   mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

   Ah, thank you so much for this info! I can relax, now. I still really hope everything turned out okay. I'd hate for someone to get an infection because of anything I did or tetorifice which was the...

7. Could I have my license taken away

   mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

   Honestly, this made me feel a lot better. If only because I felt really dumb after everyone told me that I shouldn't use bacitracin or peroxide. Which is fine! I'm glad everyone told me because now I...

   Thank you! I was most worried about him getting tetorifice, but I haven't heard from him since it happened, so I have my fingers crossed everything turned out

9. Could I have my license taken away

   mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

   I definitely did take a look at the BON, and a lot of it was medication diversion and being drunk or high while working, so for sure, way bigger fish than my possibly giving a guy an infection by...

10. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely am going to get rid of the bacitracin. I didn't realize it could cause so many problems. The little packets are even still available at my hospital in the supply closets because I'm...

11. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it's just easier for me to think that when I have barely two months experience. My confidence for adapting to an emergent situation, right now, is next to zero. I still don't even feel like a...

12. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I don't think my school taught us about it either, but at this point, I second guess myself so much that I think what if they did, and I just wiped it from my memory? This did make me feel...

13. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    I try not to, but I should have known better. I mean, yeah, I wouldn't have thought any different as a civilian, but I've been through nursing school and am currently working as a nurse however short...

14. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it was me being a dumb and thinking about what I could bring out to them instead of dragging them up inside. Hopefully, it doesn't happen again, but now I'll remember to leave the peroxide and...

15. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I kind of panicked and was just thinking about what I had available quickly. It's not like it was a deep puncture wound, just a scratch, but it happened on our property, and I wanted to do...
