  1. Cant find a job with 11 years experience

    Some thoughts: (1) what is a "letter of regret" ? (2) why were you terminated ? (3) from your name, I'm assuming you work in Indiana; are you living in a town that's controlled by one hospital system...
  2. How much did you/would you pay for BSN?

    I paid $45,000 (cash) for a 14-month accelerated BSN at Johns Hopkins. I would pay it again. I went from floor nurse to director in 12 years. I can tell you that 80/20 is already here. My facility...
  3. Reporting for racial slurs/substance abuse

    The OP stated that this woman is not a friend. If she's using street drugs, then nurses with knowledge of that fact have a duty to report it to the state BON. Morality is not
  4. Reporting for racial slurs/substance abuse

    I strongly disagree. When drug use is the issue, she needs to be reported to the state BON. Just ask yourself: would you feel comfortable having that nurse take care of you, or a member of your family...
  5. fly in the OR

    Benzoin spray is indeed still manufactured; you would never use
  6. bovie pad (grounding pad) site

    It goes on a well-developed MUSCLE mass, as close to the site of surgery as possible. NOT an area of fat. Fat is an insulator; muscle is a conductor of electricity. If you place it on a fat mass, the...
  7. CNOR Prep Question

    I agree about the Zander course; a huge thumbs up from me
  8. Any Tips on preparing CNOR exam?

    The AORN course is pretty much worthless, in my opinion. The Zander course, which I took, was awesome and gave strategies for how to answer multiple-choice questions, and simplified the guidelines...
  9. The OP doesn't want a nursing career; she wants to be married, with kids, and have nursing as a hobby. She says so herself in the last paragraph of her post, where she inquires if it's possible to...
  10. You're quite wrong about Florida requirements: they require verification from your original state of licensure (your exam state) and from a state in which you have a current active license. Only one...
  11. It's safe to say that I don't know what to say, because I can't understand what you're trying to say. Totally incoherent. Try
  12. As someone who started working at age 14, the oldest in a large family that was not well-off, and who had a successful career in law prior to becoming an RN later in life, I was offended when I first...
  13. Most people are unable to speak precisely. We often say one thing and mean something else. Language is subjective. Lawyers are paid to ask questions in order to elicit the true meaning and intent of a...
  14. A defense representative ... that's a different story. The hospital wanted to put a "human face" on its corporate existence, and so an employee was required to sit with the defense lawyers. As for out...
  15. Most of these responses are wrong in some respect. I practiced law before becoming an RN, so I'll attempt to answer. You're asking (1) whether a former employee of a hospital, one who has moved "very...
