    I paid $350 for my RN license application. This is the first application, though. Renewals cost $160. OP, that is a lot for an annual

    Multicollinearity replied to misssrblake's topic in General Nursing

    Keeping the trademark issue in mind, I just went and looked at job listings for this type of position at a few hospitals in my state. They are listed on HR websites as "Clinical Leader." However,...

    Multicollinearity replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I received the H1N1 vaccine a couple months ago. The skin where I received the vaccine is de-pigmented. It's an area about the size of a nickel. Same thing for the site where I received the regular...

    WHERE are the CNL's??????

    Multicollinearity replied to misssrblake's topic in General Nursing

    In my area, "CNL" is the new name for charge nurse. Many hospitals use this term for charge nurses, without regard for their education. Most CNLs I've seen have

    Can they drop your medical benefits after handing in letter of resignation?

    Multicollinearity replied to irish123's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think we were hair-splitting. I've had this happen myself - needed a procedure - it was scheduled - had it canceled because I had lapsed right after termination and my COBRA would not be...

    Can they drop your medical benefits after handing in letter of resignation?

    Sue, Employers in my state send (always certified mail) COBRA enrollment paperwork within one month of the employee losing regular employee coverage after termination. Employers (here) do not offer...

    Can they drop your medical benefits after handing in letter of resignation?

    Can they drop your medical benefits after handing in letter of resignation?

    Multicollinearity replied to irish123's topic in General Nursing

    This may vary by state. In my state, your last day of insurance coverage is your last day of work or date paid through by last pay check. Then COBRA is offered to you within 30 days. It's usually...

    Multicollinearity replied to fiveofpeep's topic in General Students

    Yes, it can be done. There were two of us with 4.0 GPAs in my graduating class. I did it, and I regret it at times. My life would have been more balanced and healthy with the occasional 'B'....

    What would you change about Nursing to make it better?

    Have you had a bad reaction to the H1N1 vaccine? If so what happened?

    Multicollinearity replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've never had a reaction to any flu shot. I get one every year. However, this year, ~ 1 - 2 months after each shot, I've noticed that the exact locations of each flu shot are now de-pigmented....

    I had a false positive once, and I was "exonerated" by gas chromatography. It's the definitive test for drug screens. I suspect employers are resistant towards sending off for this kind of test...
