Questions we seem to be encountering more and more often have to do with the effects of a criminal history on nursing licensure: Is it possible to become licensed as a nurse if you have a criminal history? Is it possible to become license...

His "reasonable" restrictions are the same ones Kaci Hickox is refusing to abide by.

CDC policy is CDC policy, it doesn't matter if you agree or not. Healthcare professionals don't get to pick and choose what public health or infection control policies they follow.

The CDC and her state health department are hardly "non-healthcare" people. I agree, MSF has lots of experience. They've also had at least 1 volunteer who became ill. They also don't write CDC policy. As a healthcare professional you don't get to pic...

You can also buy the appropriate width elastic and feed it through the drawstring casing with a safety pin, stitch the ends to gether and you're good. If you're careful you can thread it behind the drawstring so you can still tie it and no one knows ...

Considering the OP's location I think CNA is referring to the California Nurse's Asociation. Upper management usually blames all they can on unions.

on their main page: lara - nursing near the top of the page is the sub-section "nurse licensing forms and applications" the 8th thing on the list is the lpn & rn endorsement packet. that is all the forms and everything you need to know about gett...

Most of your points of concern would be discovered in a routine background check. And it's doubtful at least in my area of experience that a RSO would be in a household with a child, Level 2 & 3 offenders aren't even allowed to live with their o...

Changing a leaky cath isn't life or death, it can wait 10 minutes. I'd have finished pulling the last couple of meds, given them, then changed the cath.

Assuming he already has his RN: Linfield is a brick & mortar school with an online RN to BSN, it cost me around $12,000. It's located 140 miles from Madigan Army Med Center. (If it matters/helps Linfield is based in Portland, OR where there is a ...

And from this patient's perspective I'd rather have a more painful injection in a safer site. I've experienced nerve irritation from a DG injection, the pain can last for weeks, I'll never go through it again if it can be avoided. VG site really shou...

If you were not actually diagnosed as having bipolar disorder then you do not have to fill out the declaration stating you were. If the person you spoke with truly believed you needed follow up with the psych dept NP they would have referred you and ...

I did it purely to buff my resume.

It may have nothing to do with the reference from your former employer and everything to do with a terrible job market. In the last eight months I've had a dozen very positive interviews that left me with a clear impression an offer would probably be...

It's going to be very difficult to prove you didn't just up and decide to resign and worked out a typical 2 week notice. If you never saw actual termination papers from HR it's very possible that one was never forthcoming, that the manager just told...

In situation 1 there is nothing wrong with the nurse not calling. The patients blood sugar was 400 not greater than 400. The patient very likely got her 10 units and had eatten something just before the blood sugar check or ate more after the insulin...

Many if not most facilities have a policy that bars employees from discussing their wages with other employees. In a round about way you asked her what she makes (or made as a new hired) it's not something she could discuss "in general" as her only ...

You can buy it as a 'Trio' that comes with adult, ped and neo heads. It is an excellent scope for adults but I prefer my Littman Cardio III for kiddos.

I think MUCH less of people when I hear them use 'the R word' offensively, I think less of anyone when I hear them use any pejorative. To me it's as foul as any ethnic slur.

1) Alabama 2) BSN with 20 years experience. 3) I'm on my 4th (and final) federal extension of my unemployment benefits. Jobs are so scarce where I am that unemployment no longer requires I look for a job, they have confirmed I have active application...

I'm a special snowflake, none of the poll choices fit my answer. My mom was a RN (as was an Aunt). It only influenced my career choice in that my mom told me she'd pay my rent if I went to nursing school rather than becoming a teacher. I was a singl...

To put it simply, if you don't agree with the standard treatment modalities utilized by a specialty, it's NOT a "good fit" no matter how much you want it to be. Going to work in psych nursing when you're not comfortable administering anti-psychotics ...

I'm probably in the minority but I really don't want anyone messing with my beeping anything. If it's beeing there is a reason for it. Someone wandering in doesn't know that the feeding pump is beeping simply because I forgot to hit 'run' after doing...

One of the things I've struggled to grasp (and my instructors were no help) is how improving my "professional performance" make me more professional than my ADN counterparts? Our job descriptions and assignments; assessment and clinical skills are ex...

Unfortunately most likely what you saw is what they will but I'm pretty sure HR departments are used to wonky formats happening. Assuming you're using Word some ways I've found to circumvent the issue are to: (I'm going to assume you know how to copy...
