    Assistant Director of Nurses has no Nursing License

    kbrn2002 replied to lukesbaby's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If this is true there's no way in any state that can be legal. I know every BON is different but I doubt there's a single one that has language in their Nurse Practice Act that allows for non...

    On FMLA, Can't Go Back To Old Job, Now what?

    kbrn2002 replied to namaste111's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what kind of relationship you and you daughter have with these teachers outside of school but unless you are legitimately close friends I'm sorry but that solution raises a few flags for...

    Coronavirus and Schools

    kbrn2002 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    My state, WI also announced K-12 school is closing yesterday. The announcement wasn't very detailed and I haven't looked it up to read the formal statement yet but I haven't heard much of a plan other...

    Coronavirus and Schools

    kbrn2002 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    All area Universities have cancelled on campus activities including classes already. Now it looks like the state of Michigan is the first to suspend K-12 school. I imagine since they broke the mold...

    Dilemma- my job or my boyfriend?

    kbrn2002 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Congratulations to your fiancee on the new job! Firefighter training is no joke though. I second the suggestion to wait on the move until you both know that new job is what he wants. That's a high...

    Arrested for DUI- should I put it on my nursing school application?

    kbrn2002 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Big question is will the case be resolved by the time you need to submit your application? If so you'll know by then how you need to answer that question. You will either be convicted of a DUI,...

    On FMLA, Can't Go Back To Old Job, Now what?

    kbrn2002 replied to namaste111's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are making the right decision staying in Michigan for you and your daughter. Please don't discount looking into the option of renting out your house in Ohio. You may be pleasantly...

    Seeking advice for a new dialysis nurse

    kbrn2002 replied to kbrn2002's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Thanks for the response! Yes I started orientation, just! Two days in only and that's been all classroom teaching and new hire paperwork, so far so good. And yes, there's a lot of computer learning...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    kbrn2002 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    That's not just a cultural shift based on a preference to be more casual, it's a cultural shift based on safety. Unless you have a unique first name it's a lot more difficult for somebody you'd...

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    kbrn2002 replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking from a lot of LTC experience you'd most likely be measuring your orientation in days, if you're lucky weeks and if that's the case it'll be one or maybe two. Long, thorough orientation just...

    Coronavirus and Supply Shortages

    kbrn2002 replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've never liked the cheap gloves my employer bought anyway so I've been buying my own for awhile. But I absolutely agree, If I was relying on using the gloves they supply I'd be throwing fits...

    On FMLA, Can't Go Back To Old Job, Now what?

    kbrn2002 replied to namaste111's topic in General Nursing

    Since you are currently unemployed you'll be in the position of job hunting no matter where you decide to be. It sounds like child care is a major factor in making your decision. If you go back to...

    What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    kbrn2002 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Holy crap! A twenty year old thread. I wonder if that's a record? Maybe an admin [hint, hint] could easily check this out? Because now inquiring minds, well at least mine, wonder what the longest...

    Coronavirus and Supply Shortages

    kbrn2002 replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not only this but so many places especially in healthcare ironically, have such punitive call off policies that people go to work all the time when they really shouldn't. I wonder if that will...

    Coronavirus and Supply Shortages

    kbrn2002 replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's gloves where I worked. Right before I left the last shipment we received was only a partial one due to a shortage. The supply clerk was passing them out on the Wings and telling everybody that's...

    Face masks

    kbrn2002 replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    That's also part of what makes this situation so fascinating as well as scary. First problem is a person that is actually infected can apparently be symptom free while still transmitting the virus for...

    Calling all nurses, do not get scammed by this phone call.

    kbrn2002 replied to Julie's topic in General Nursing

    I kind of hated to "like" that because it's such a frustrating situation I am sure. The hospital might very well have sold the debt to a third party collector. There's a difference in writing off the...

    Calling all nurses, do not get scammed by this phone call.

    kbrn2002 replied to Julie's topic in General Nursing

    That's unfortunate and I think a little rare. Seems like it's not as common for the younger generation to get fooled by a debt scam. Hopefully she does listen to you and Mom instead of calling this...

    Have you found yourself blurring the professional boundary?

    kbrn2002 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Working in LTC we really do get to know the people we care for as well as their families. Of course I share some aspects of my life. They all know I'm married and they know about my family and pets....

    Night nurse - noise cancelling headphones to sleep with

    kbrn2002 replied to rumikodan's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    They make this bluetooth headphones/sleep mask combination thing that my sister swears by. It looks like a headband and can be worn as one or pulled down over your eyes for a sleep mask. Several...

    The Walking Dead

    kbrn2002 replied to sirI's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    I'm honestly so far behind. I have I think the last 25 episodes sitting on my DVR. I just can't decide if it's worth watching them all knowing already there's a lot I won't necessarily like just to...

    What do I do? RN, FNP, Job Seeker

    kbrn2002 replied to nononsense's topic in Nursing Career

    WOW!, I'm a little tired just reading this. Talk about too much of a good thing. You obviously have ample job opportunities so take a breath, pick one and stick with it. No matter what nursing job...

    Calling all nurses, do not get scammed by this phone call.

    kbrn2002 replied to Julie's topic in General Nursing

    I've been getting these scam calls for years. Personally I find them kind of funny. My call screening blocks them but they occasionally leave voicemails that are so over the top threatening that I am...
