  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 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...

  3. 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...

  4. 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...

  5. Feel like I don't know anything

    mindiianajones posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I didn't see a specific new grad forum, so I'm posting this here. I start my first job in two weeks, and I'm absolutely terrified. My first month of orientation is going to be on the same floor I...

  6. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, this is all.... mostly me being WILDLY paranoid in the suing culture of our current time. I know no one here has a law degree, and I'm mostly just looking for opinions to calm my wack ass down...

  7. 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...

  8. 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...

  9. 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...

  10. Could I have my license taken away

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    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

  11. 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...

  12. 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...

  13. 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...

  14. 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...

  15. 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...

  16. 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...

  17. 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...

  18. NCLEX not at all what I expected

    mindiianajones replied to sfriedli's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly, I'm sure just about everyone did. I certainly had some expectations going in that were completely shattered. After taking it myself, I think people should just go into it as prepared as they...

  19. PVT (Pearson vue trick) update May 2018

    mindiianajones replied to NurseKDC's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not sure, honestly, whether the PVT is real or not or just a mind game we all play with ourselves. However, I never got a declined message. I just plugged in my debit card, changed the CCV code on...

  20. Feel like I don't know anything

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you!! I've been trying to find nurse brains that I'd like to use on pinterest, but I haven't been successful. I'll have to see what the nurses at work use and see if I like any of them, but I...

  21. Feel like I don't know anything

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's true. At least, I'm aware that I have a tendency to let things like that get to me. If I have to walk away to cry in a supply closet, I will! I definitely know I'm not the only one who has....

  22. Feel like I don't know anything

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you for the advice! I think the unit I work on will be okay, for the most part. Nights are usually pretty chill there, and I've got along with MOST if not all the nurses that work nights. I'm...

  23. Feel like I don't know anything

    mindiianajones replied to mindiianajones's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not even going to lie, I'm worried about overhearing that type of talk. I try REALLY hard not to take things personally, but I'm one of those people who values intelligence while also feeling like...

  24. New Grad Starting Career, Advice PLEASE!

    mindiianajones replied to brightfutureRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm a new grad, too, and I applied to a lot of places and got the standardized, canned rejection email from a lot of them. I have a full-time job because I was offered one at the hospital that I...

  25. Did any body else suffer a mental break down during school?

    mindiianajones posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    So, I just graduated on the 5th, took my exam on Wednesday, and found out I passed yesterday. Officially a nurse! A weight has been lifted. I can stop stressing out. Hopefully. This last semester, I...
