  1. Drug diversion

    Lust4life replied to divalady's topic in General Nursing

    If you can prove your innocence, you may be okay in the end of the investigation. I know a nurse who had his pyxis pin used by a coworker who stole narcotics. Somehow he was able to prove his...

  4. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Lust4life replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, guarantee is probably the wrong word. I'm just thinking of myself, as we have all made mistakes. I can guarantee for myself that when I make a considerable mistake in anything, I don't do it...

  5. Terminated for suspected diversion, PNAP now involved

    Lust4life replied to neuronurse2023's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, are we able to do that on here? LOL If so, I haven't figured that part out yet!!

  6. Terminated for suspected diversion, PNAP now involved

    Lust4life replied to neuronurse2023's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hello! I know this is an old post, but wondering how things have turned out for you? I was in a similar situation to yours about 10 or so years ago. "Suspected diversion". It didn't end well for...

  7. Pre-employment drug screen suboxone

    Lust4life replied to bgirl123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That is really great news. In PA the BON did not approve taking any maintenance as it considered as an abstinence based program. So, 10 years ago, I would have been fine with staying in the program,...

  8. Pre-employment drug screen suboxone

    Lust4life replied to bgirl123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That is wonderful news, in my opinion! Are they able to stay on it indefinitely, or until they decide to come off of it, or is it only approved for a short time while in recovery treatment, or while...

  9. Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    Lust4life replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not surprised Allegheny Health did this. Back in the 2000s they had Universities come to the hospital to teach the accelerated RN-BSN courses. They set up tables by the cafeteria and told us how...

  10. Phasing Out ADN?

    Lust4life replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    What I heard in nursing school was that C = RN! LOL That was encouraging, after many instructors said more than half of us wouldn't make it. Those instructors were correct. I don't think...

  11. Phasing Out ADN?

    Lust4life replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    When I received my ASN it took about 4 years to accomplish from start of general academic courses (2 yrs) and by year 3 you were qualified to enter into the specific nursing course requirements....

  12. Nursing specialty L&D or NICU?

    Lust4life replied to Heminnn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work in either, so can't truly share my experience. But, I came to say, that both need experienced nurses who are great at their job and especially bedside manner with families, and women...

  13. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Lust4life replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I was under the impression that once a license is revoked, it's gone, no chance of return. Which, I thought was the difference between suspension and revocation. Perhaps, in TN it is different?...

  14. BSN - in recovery

    Lust4life replied to Samanthaaaaa's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you can't find a specific one that applies to only alcohol then I'd ask them if it's okay to do the CE on substance abuse/recovery in general. Alcohol is a drug too so they probably lump it all...

  15. Tell me about your nurse manager

    Lust4life replied to Ra3liana's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! I am not Asian, but I too was shy, quiet, and it took me about a year before I started to develop a backbone and enough confidence in myself to get the nurse bullies steering clear of me....

  16. Charge nurse soloing me out

    Lust4life replied to AKP25's topic in General Nursing

    At one point in my career I thought this was happening to me also, and I also took it personally. I even tried to think that maybe they just believe I am THAT competent to handle higher acuity pts....

  17. Did She Violate Patient Confidentiality?

    Lust4life replied to 0121Mednurse's topic in General Nursing

    That's true but it usually takes an hour at least to be admitted and seen, let alone anything else. So that number probably would have changed by the time he was leaving anyway. Could he come back...

  18. Did She Violate Patient Confidentiality?

    Lust4life replied to 0121Mednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to see more of these type of thought provoking questions! I'm glad you posted

  19. Did She Violate Patient Confidentiality?

    Lust4life replied to 0121Mednurse's topic in General Nursing

    A BAC that high would constitute a medical emergency. I'm surprised he was able to make it to the ER driving himself there. I'm surprised she hadn't noted other signs of obvious impairment, rather...

  20. Hello Pain my old friend........

    Lust4life replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurse Diary's Entries

    I had pain issues also that was not managed correctly and I turned to opiates would lead me into addiction and a suspended license. I wish I had a good alternative for you. Maybe check out fb groups...

  21. This is really messed up, I know….

    Lust4life replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I get what you mean. I think you might be in the same boat I was years ago. If anyone would've said I was ungrateful, I'd tell them to kiss my orifice....and probably not that kindly. My desire...

  22. This is really messed up, I know….

    Lust4life replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Many years ago, as a RN and a mom to 2 young children, I often said to myself "I'd love to be the patient and be taken care of". I was falling into negative patterns, thoughts, habits, etc....all to...

  25. Issues applying to BON as a UK resident

    Lust4life replied to ScottishNurse22's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Sounds about right for the PA BON. I think 13 ppl make up the board and last I saw there were quite a few open seats and they are actively taking applications. Short staffed!!
