1. Any advice for anxious and socially awkward new nurses?

   Lust4life replied to Sweetme2's topic in General Nursing

   I'm pretty sure preceptor sign up for that, so you'd think they would have the patience. My preceptor was a jerk, and many share that sentiment so I wouldn't worry about that too much. All that anxiety and shyness will melt away before you know it. D...

2. Taking ADHD meds

   Lust4life replied to ICUBSNRN7's topic in Disabilities

   You are correct! That is so wrong of her, and shows her lack of knowledge. She should take some continuing education credits on things she doesn't understand or it could cost her a job.

3. PNAP no legal charges

   Lust4life replied to AlmostNP's topic in Recovery

   When I did it, it was the same in PA. I was told the phmp was for MDs. They don't tell you much of anything about it until you sign into it. A quick online search of PAs program tells you more about it , from a lawyers perspective. Things have change...

5. PNAP no legal charges

   Lust4life replied to AlmostNP's topic in Recovery

   There's that stigma and misinformation. Not everyone is the same. It's not a legal "loophole" and it shouldn't be a battle. It's not a crutch and it doesn't cause impairment. If you don't know because you don't have that experience then I don't think...

6. PNAP no legal charges

   Lust4life replied to AlmostNP's topic in Recovery

   Read about Illinois monitoring program and how they now must allow those in the program to continue to take their medications. It's a violation of the ADA not to. I'm not defensive about it, just feel strongly about it.

7. PNAP no legal charges

   Lust4life replied to AlmostNP's topic in Recovery

   Ask PNAP is they allow nurses to take maintenance medication, such as buprenorphine, when it is prescribed by your doctor, and still participate fully without having to quit taking it.

8. Phasing Out ADN?

   Lust4life replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

   I totally agree. When I started nursing school I had to be educated and trained to think "like a nurse". Until then, it would be very hard to pass the tests given in nursing school. I went into the program with common sense and "common" knowledg...

9. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

   Lust4life replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   That is a good point. At what level of negligence and harm are we willing to draw the line?

10. Pre-employment drug screen suboxone

    Lust4life replied to bgirl123's topic in Recovery

    Things have changed a lot I n the past few years in regards to OUD and meds. They know more about the med and what it does, or doesn't do. They now claim it is fine for long term. It's time that it's accepted across the board. I can't see how 1/2 sta...

12. Call to action! Nurses in Monitoring Programs

    Lust4life replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism

    I think what's done is done, in my case. It was 10 yrs ago. I'm still dealing with the damages. I had a lawyer at this point, who called me and said, they are pressing charges and you can turn yourself in, without them coming to arrest you. He said, ...

    Lust4life replied to AlmostNP's topic in Recovery

    I agree with you Bad dog. It seems the punishment doesn't fit the crime. I would hope they take everything into consideration. You don't have to agree to the program, if you don't have a problem. Defend your license as best as you can!!

    Lust4life replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism

    When I had my trial, I was not appointed a public defender. They met without me even there, actually. They had me wait inside the court house and then came to me and said, "This is what we are offering you. You can either except it or take it to the ...
