When I was in the program I worked with a LVN with 30+ years experience and a RN. When the RN left they hired a RN with approximately 8 months nursing experience. Well guess who had to find a new job....

I'm sorry you have to go through this hell. I have been free for over 2 years and went through, more than once, what you are going through. DO NOT use alcohol based hand sanitizer or put ANYTHING into...
I would go where the work is...dialysis! I have been a nurse for 26 years, 16 in dialysis. If you look for job opportunities you will see lots of dialysis positions with sign on bonuses. I work in a...
The investigation could take years. I have been through this more than once. The difference being that I was guilty. My attorney, who was also a RN, gave me the best advice while being investigated...
Don't use it. Buy alcohol free sanitizer. I had an "incidental exposure". That is what TPAPN called it when the level was so low and they called my supervisor to see if I had been under the influence...
My goddaughter is getting married at a Caribbean resort in the near future. I am so excited for her future and more excited she asked me to be her matron of honor but guess who has ruined our plans....
I requested my vacation through Recovery Trek and it was DENIED. I called the BNE and was told they no longer approve out of the country requests. They approved my last two Cancun trips so I don't...
My license was suspended for a year and I successfully petitioned for reinstatement. The year I was off I completed everything that was required to be reinstated and kept records of everything. I am...
I am 4 months shy of my membership expiring with the TxBON!!!! The worst part of it has been dealing with my case manager, DB. This troll is rude and nasty. When I am forced to call her sorry ass she...
The board will find out and most likely offer a peer assistance program. Go with that, do exactly what they say and stay clean. In Texas, if you successfully complete the program, you will not be...
Absolutely not! It is none of their business just as their past is none of your business. You will be persecuted, crucified and hung on the cross. Nurses are to be immune from "character
Mind your own freaking business! Who do you think you are? Go to work, do your job and leave. You saw something on his phone and you assumed the worst. You are a perfect example of what is wrong in...
I was a charge nurse at FMC for 4 years. All nurses have had to sign a 1-3 year contract when employed. As it stands, since I left my position several months ago I was replaced by 2 travel nurses....
I have several years of charge experience in outpatient dialysis. I recently started working for US Renal as a staff nurse. I was asked if I would be interested in a charge position. Of course I said....

I have worked for FMC for years. They are without a doubt the sorriest company I have ever worked for. Everything is about money! I could never use my PTO because they would not give me the time off....
