  1. 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...

    Thank you for your response. That really

  3. Nursing Student w/ Dwarfism at UMSON

    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....

  6. West Coast University

    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...

  12. Male nurses

    delrionurse replied to Lavi2343's topic in General Nursing

    There have been many male nurses in my jobs. It seems pretty equal to

  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...

  16. RN supervisor put on LPN med cart, feels disrespected

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

    Not that it's appropriate, but is it possible they are not staffed correctly or have call offs so put you on the med cart to fill staffing

  17. Legality of nurse responsibilities

    delrionurse replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    No. I must have lost you when you started mentioning flight nursing and critical care transport nurses. The OP was talking about a rural critical access hospital. Fewer

  18. Legality of nurse responsibilities

    delrionurse replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    No they don't. They might be forced to. With radiology reports that is the norm though. An 'out of state' doc interpreting the

  19. Legality of nurse responsibilities

    delrionurse replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    This should actually be the nurse's expectation also. When I am asked to do a teledoc appt. I automatically question why. It doesn't bother me as long as there is a dedicated person to do it. It does...

  20. I want to retire I'm so tired of the stress

    delrionurse replied to Winter_blue_bird's topic in Retired Nurses

    Can you do MDS? MDS is in SNF's and it's Mon-Fri 8-5. That is not a floor

  21. Should I take the job even knowing it's unsafe?

    delrionurse replied to Lozzie's topic in General Nursing

    Usually there's orientation for six weeks to 2 months, why don't you take the job, learn as much as you can during orientation and see if you can do it. And if another job, more reputable comes along,...

  22. Made a huge mistake as a new grad

    delrionurse replied to Peaceofnurse's topic in General Nursing

    "and when I got report the next day, the nurse told me she had to report me to management" What kind of place do you work at? This is why some places never see nurses again, for rude behavior...

  23. What to chart when there's no time to complete all the work

    delrionurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I was just wondering what to do when you can't complete an important task, because you were given too many admissions. In addition to the other responsibilities, making sure the patients...

  25. Staffers arrested

    delrionurse replied to delrionurse's topic in Nursing News

    What I mean by this is if a nurse did participate in their care, and they did the right thing, notify physician, turn resident, did wound care (but one nurse on one shift is not enough), their name...
