2. Maintaining compact licensure

   delrionurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello everyone, I wanted to know if there is any way to maintain my compact licensure and move to a state with single state licensure. If I still consider my primary residence and mail with my...

   delrionurse replied to Hanan Miles's topic in Nurse Disabilities

   Not only can you complete nursing school but there are doctors who are little people also, look up Jennifer Arnold. Also I knew a doctor who had a disability, and he did his rounds on his motorized...

4. Smoking residents in LTC

   delrionurse replied to Avian c's topic in General Nursing

   It doesn't make sense to be a 'healthcare organization' and requiring the nurse sit out there for the residents to smoke. Plus being responsible for the pts inside the building. Sitting with these...

5. That's not what I had in mind

   delrionurse replied to amason2021's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   Why should a woman put up with groping at a facility when they told management they felt uncomfortable and nothing was done. The CNA didn't feel comfortable providing care and let management know....

   delrionurse replied to ElizabethTonoyan's topic in California Nursing

   Many people in the medical field start out as CNA's and work their way up. Whether it is CNA to RN, CNA to LVN to RN. Some people don't know if they want to be a nurse and taking a 2 month CNA class...

7. Broken RN License

   delrionurse replied to RN217isbroken's topic in Nursing Career

   Have you tried a more rural area? You might have to drive a bit to sustain work. Some nurses I know drive 2 hours to work and stay in their camper for 3 12 hour shifts. This is in SNF's. Between...

8. Management threatens nurses

   delrionurse replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

   You would have accept the consequences including corrective action, write up or whatever they do if you already accepted the shift. I am no legal expert, but you are protecting yourself if you say...

9. Management threatens nurses

   delrionurse replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

   You may have to 1) deny an admission due to patient safety regardless of what the DON says 2) call before you're shift and tell them you need help on the floor (or call in) if they don't accommodate...

10. I'm 60 yrs old. Is it too late for me to become a RN?

    delrionurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I say go for it. If it is in your heart, then do it. I would just be careful about debt. See if you can get in to a community college

11. Made a bad mistake

    delrionurse replied to Tierno's topic in General Nursing

    I can see the technical error, but it really is no big deal. You gave her half the dose because she said 15mg was too much. You were taking care of the patient. From an admin standpoint, it's a...

13. Academically dismissed

    delrionurse replied to nurseveronica's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure where in California you live, but I heard in So Cal it's harder to get in and there is a waiting list for some colleges. Especially if there are issues on your transcript. Is there a...

14. Can I still go to nursing school with an academic dishonesty charge?

    delrionurse replied to anonymoussss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe the 'conduct' record is only visible to your current school? I would ask someone in the records department at the school and ask for a copy of your

15. Why do we feel guilty about calling out?

    delrionurse replied to PizzaNurse2023's topic in General Nursing

    If you work 12 hours shifts (and on your feet) and not the standard 8 hours like everyone else, you shouldn't feel guilty. Management after years of knowing nurses call out, sick or for other reasons...
