  1. Where do I go from here?

    Haunted posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm completing my final class to satisfy educational deficits in my transcripts from California to Tennessee. I've been a registered nurse for over 10 years in California and since moving here to TN...

  2. Getting tired of working 12 hour shifts......

    Haunted replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I've always preferred 8 hour shifts on a med/surg floor. Recently I worked a few weeks worth of 12's and was completely FLUMOXED, exhausted, dehydrated, achy and it was all I could do to take off my...

  3. Flu after Immunization????

    Haunted posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can you get the flu even after you have gotten an immunization? I looked it up on the CDC website and it was not very specific. I asked an infectious disease doc and he said "yes" if you are exposed...

  4. Flu after Immunization????

    Haunted replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I finally went to the ER last night because I had stabbing pain behind my right breast and could not catch my breath. I was treated right away and told them I had been working different facilities for...

  5. Flu after Immunization????

    Haunted replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I'm cominh home soon girlfriend and will bring you some hot tea and fluff your pillows. Look for me on Wednesday of next. You won't be able to hear me mumbling behind your back, yuck yuck

  6. Short Cuts in Nursing

    Haunted replied to NeuroMedic's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Shortcut RN here, plus I am in a rotten bind trying to get licensed here in TN since I am 1 elective short of my ADN. Lot's of holes in the OP's statements, maybe he has never practiced out of State?...

  7. The importance of RN to BSN?

    Haunted replied to wasabiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am a huge advocate for education and having that advanced degree will open many doors for you . However, nursing school is truly "boot camp" and once you are done with it, take the boards, start...

  8. Orange County

    Haunted replied to CaliRN29's topic in California Nursing

    I agree with Janey. FV is very nice to registry. I am not a specialty nurse but have been floated to newborn nursery etc. Tustin has some nice areas to live but I still have a condo , 3 bedroom, 2...

  9. Degree or California license only nursing program?

    Haunted replied to Transient's topic in LPN to RN

    I am just concerned about a lot of missinformation circulating regarding this subject specifically. Also, Jolie, I am not for a moment thinking you are bashing me or anything I have said. I have read...

  10. Degree or California license only nursing program?

    Haunted replied to Transient's topic in LPN to RN

    Jolie, again, plainly stated, if you have satisfied the clinical and educational requirements to sit for the boards, you may do so. If you pass, you are issued a license to practice in the State where...

  11. Non-degree RN license issues...

    Haunted replied to lolale's topic in California Nursing

    Sorry, don't know how to cut and paste the comment about "CA grants a non grad degree and other Sates may still require the candidate to retake and pass the boards" . After extensive research from...

  12. Non-degree RN license issues...

    Haunted replied to lolale's topic in California Nursing

    I'm, again confused. The BON issues a license based upon which NCLEX you take, the RN or LVN/LPN. Noting on my licensure designates my educational status or degree held. Some employers will list those...

  13. Degree or California license only nursing program?

    Haunted replied to Transient's topic in LPN to RN

    No State will ever require a candidate to take the NCLEX again. It is a national board exam and recognized nationally. Also, some States are "compact" which means you need only to verify your license,...

  14. Degree or California license only nursing program?

    Haunted replied to Transient's topic in LPN to RN

    Answer is YES!!!! I needed to take my NCLEX right away and have worked only in California for 10 years as an RN. Now that I have relocated, this State is requiring that I complete the coursework in...

  15. Non-degree RN license issues...

    Haunted replied to lolale's topic in California Nursing

    Lola, how can you be considered a nongraduated Registered Nurse with a bachelors degree in Science, Nursing? You will be an RN and have a BSN degree. That is ample enough to obtain a license in any...

  16. Non-degree RN license issues...

    Haunted replied to lolale's topic in California Nursing

    Wendy, yes I will get my RN license here in Tennessee. I have , as I have said before, a Humanities class to complete for my ADN degree, which is all that CA and TN are requiring of me to grant me...

  17. Orange County

    Haunted replied to CaliRN29's topic in California Nursing

    I have friends that work L and D at Saddleback and they really are happy there. I have talked with people who had their kids at Mission in Mission Viejo and they had a great experience. Stay away from...

  18. Non-degree RN license issues...

    Haunted replied to lolale's topic in California Nursing

    I'm licensed in California and wanting to work in Tennessee. I am a non graduate from a community college. When I started the application process here I was denied because I did not graduate. After...

  19. Non-degree RN license issues...

    Haunted replied to lolale's topic in California Nursing

    I'm confused....nothing on my license indicates grad/non grad status and if you take and pass the NCLEX you will never ever take them again, even if you work in another State and get licensed

  20. Ups and Downs of Working at Kaiser

    Haunted replied to nurseJ88's topic in California Nursing

    From what I have read, it depends on the unit and location. Specialty units seem to be "safer" and I can only speak from experience that Kaiser Lakeview in Orange County was the scariest, filthiest...

  21. Owning a home in California

    Haunted replied to love-d-OR's topic in California Nursing

    I kept my condo in Irvine after having it for sale for about 9 months. The market completely tanked! I bought it back in the late 90's as a bank owned repo, sunk a couple thousand bucks into it and it...

  22. Non-degree RN license issues...

    Haunted replied to lolale's topic in California Nursing

    I'm the non degreed nurse stuck in Tennessee and licensed in California. If I had it to do all over again I would still take the NCLEX (you only have to take it once and it is a national standard) and...

  23. I can't sleep!

    Haunted replied to incublissRN's topic in General Nursing

    Roy Fokker, you are too Fokking funny! I have chronic insomnia and started out with Ativan, worked GREAT at 1 mg, then MD gave me Ambien CR. What a nut I became! I was sleepwalking, sleep cooking,...

  24. Patient's Demanding Family *Vent*

    Haunted replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this happened to you. What makes me kinda smile is that these folks seem to watch too much TV. A little air in a peripheral IV line isn't going to kill anyone, that's what those fancy ports...

  25. D.i.c.

    Haunted replied to zlatamoya's topic in General Nursing

    Rhabdomylosis (spell check?) is residual soft tissue breakdown, often from immobility. Example, had a young adult male hiker who took a tumble, broke his leg and was immobile on a hillside while...
