I have 100% decided to start traveling. My question now, should I go ahead and apply for my Florida nursing license? I have talked to several agencies and they seem to think that traveling to Florida this winter should be no problem. I read on the ...

Thanks for your input. I will go ahead and apply for the license. Other states I have looked into are walk-through and I guess if Florida doesn't work out, I can do that.

was asked into the Directors office at the hospital where I am employed at as a registered nurse. I was told that they had been investigating me for a HIPAA violation brought to them by a patient (my exs girlfriend). She went to them in April with a ...

So very true. I spoke with my divorce attorney today, and hopefully there will be some kind of quick, cheap fix to this whole thing.

Update: Had my meeting this am with HR. As if things couldn't get worse, they managed to. The head of HR and DON were waiting, I was tired (from working a 12 hour shift) and then they hit me with a TON of bricks. A new complaint of another HIPAA viol...

Don't know where to start. I love my job, but am unhappy with hospital politics. From a small mid-western town without a lot of opportunities. Also not happy with mid-western living and the harsh winters. Just looking for something new, exciting, and...

As it stands now, I have an appointment with Human Resources tomorrow. I have submitted official documentation from Verizon wireless proving that these texts were not sent while I was at work. I have been found innocent of any HIPAA violation follo...

I totally agree.

I thought it was only our hospital that did that. We have the 5 P's we have to ask each pt during the rounding, and I have actually had a pt say, "no I don't have to pee" before I ever started the scripting.

Thanks for all of your input. I don't know why this girl has a problem with me. My ex and I had filed for divorce before they ever met. I have never met her or spoken to her, yet I feel like she has it out for me. We live in a very small town, a...

I didn't have my cell at work. Those were the time stamps from when she printed out the texts. The texts were the night before when I was at home on my couch.

Wow. Sometimes we have to pick our battles.. and this one just doesn't seem worth it. I mean, seriously??

Not to sound like a total idiot, but what is a nursing kit? It is on my list of "school supplies". Also, what are "pratice/ supervised lab kits"? Thanks

And I am not a total hag and hate all students and a crab ass. But I am continually frustrated with students such as Ally0981 who seem to think they know everything and are "too good" to wipe poop off the floor.

Ruby Vee- I couldn't have said it better myself. No really, I couldn't. I have thought for a few days now I nice way of responding to this post, but failed miserably. Kudos to you.

DITTO to that. as far as the what co-workers say crap- sounds kind of petty to me. Of course I could have just taken it out of context. It is early after all.

Why did you even decide on nursing? if you have no interest in the human body, this might not be the profession for you. If you are doing it just for the pay, you are probably going to be a very unhappy person.

Hey everyone.. I haven't been here since first year, but I have a huge problem. I graduated May 2008 (yippee) and passed boards last week. I have worked as a nurse tech throughout school and have accepted a bid on the floor that I tech on. I know...

I should have clarified. I live in the state of Illinois. The law was changed this year and grads are no longer allowed to work as license-pending immediately following graduation. You have to pass NCLEX and receive your letter to apply for licens...

Where do you live? My little po-dunk town of 27,000 starts at $18.25.

There is a huge ordeal in my clinical group. I have managed to stay out of it (thankfully I wasn't there when it happened and haven't been forced into getting involved), but was wondering what you guys thought about this. The week before last in cli...

I am having a really hard time trying to figure this out.. and this is my first attempt at preparing a care plan? I have to come up with outcomes/ goals and interventions with rationales based on the following.. Activity Intolerance related to imb...

It is a case study... I have no idea about the goals though.. It says to set realistic goals that are measurable
