Don't do it....stay where you are.

Just so YOU know, a CMS surveyor has many other skills that are applied to ESRD, Hospitals, Pysch Hospitals, Group Homes , LTC , Assisted Living, Pysch under 21, among many others. I was certified by CMS in all of the above areas. There is of cours...

There is no reason why it can't happen!

I definitely know this territory. My DH and both of our daughters are MDs. They all three know the ropes of the way it works. While they are not happy about certain calls, it is just the way life in the field of medicine works these days. They cal...

Good, some time has passed. Best of luck!

It seems to me you are confusing mg and ml. Milligrams are the concentration of the drug in the particular vial. Ml is the amount of fluid. The posters above are correct in saying one ml is the amount to draw up the syringe in this case. Each order...

You mostly likely will be able to get into school and get your license simply because of the age you were (17). How old are you now? Just make certain that this never happens again.

Actually the nurses don't have a choice. They must follow their policies and procedures. It's really quite simple. Read their protocols and if you and other midlevels and physicians want to make changes, then feel free.

This is why Medical Assistants or Medication Aides are not to give insulin in my state,.

I truly believe that you don't have to disclose an arrest, just convictions. Good heavens,...100K for school? WOW!.

The Board does not care about any other licenses, certifications you may have. Just look at their restrictions, rules ,and regs and please don't be confrontation. It will not be a positive approach for you. I promise, I have seen it all. I wish y...

Who ever told you that from the Board is incorrect. A criminal background is just that. Although actually, I'm not really certain you have that in your background. I did look up the rules and regs for RN licensure in your state. Surprised to see a...

Does anyone else remember during the Gore v Bush campaign, a news story about 2 everyday dudes in Texas? One was a George Bush who was a Democrat and Al Gore, a Republican. Never had a VIP as a patient though I lived in a celebrity rich area. I had ...

I can relate (again). In the same SICU as a brand new RN, we had several DIC cases and I have never forgotten the horror of it.

WOW!, that's a new one.

YES! It is ancient to me and obviously made a lasting impression as I remember it so clearly after all this time. I appreciate the time and effort on your part to explain this critical situation to the nurses. My patient was improving and about to b...

thank you bringing up an ancient teaching case. When I was a new grad in SICU, I noticed hct changing in a renal patient and asked the other nurses and his doc about this very same situation. So many years ago and it was a valuable lesson. Gotta re...

I first heard this when moving to a different part of the country. I was thinking, hmmm, wonder if we are talking about the same thing.

THANKS!

what is AROM?

Is anyone else confused by this question and answer? Please inform me!

don't bring it up in the initial interview. Wait for them to decline your application.

Good to hear. Being untruthful is never a good look. You will never regret it.

I'm impressed with Texas! It is far better than being told by the Board "we handle things on a case by case basis "after you have completed school.

I know, I am trying to think of places for you. Maybe some private adult day cares, private assisted livings, maybe even a veterinarian if you are an animal lover. Private duty or as a sitter. It would be be a start.
