I,too, work for Corizon in Wyoming and part of the delay from the state. In addition to checking your background for Corizon, you also have to pass a state background check for security clearance....
How nice for you that this works. Unfortunatly, most of the patients that came into my hospital (before I went back to corrections) were full of entitlement. There is nothing like worrying about...
Love those "concerned" family members. The best part of correctional nursing is no call lights and ALMOST no families!!! "Calling the Governor" is my favorite, like the Governor would do
WYDiceDancer replied to David Offenbaker's topic in LPN to RN
You worry to much. I worked in primarily LTC/AL for better than 10 years when I went back to the hospital via an agency and they usually asked for me over several other RN's. Since you are in school,...
WYDiceDancer replied to Roozeyk's topic in LPN to RN
Hey, congrats on finding it in you to go back for that old "RN" after so many years. I was an LPN for 16 years when I took the NCLEX for the second time (first time was paper and pencil so the whole...

hey, canuckstudent, this thread is for ranting and venting so we don't say these things to docs and disrepect them to their faces. without places like this, the nursing profession would soon be...

Some of the most shallow folks on this planet are the ones you find in a "church". Go ahead, flame away, but my experiences have been they shake your hand in the sanctuary and flip you off in the...

Remember telling the admitting nurse at the nursing home that you "don't have any standing orders"? THAT'S why you are getting the call at 0200 for Tylenol. Next time, think about it! ASK THE NURSE...

SO TRUE!! Years ago I had the instructor that was handing out the diplomas tell me AS SHE WAS HANDING ME MY SHEEPSKIN "We never thought you would make it through." With that hunk of paper firmly in...

Some people don't like to be in the spotlight, pure and simple. I've gone to MY graduations only because of family pressure, nothing more. When I got my LPN, pinning was during graduation, thank...
I've worked plenty of places that treat the CNA's like ambulatory chunks of gold and LPN's and RN's like dime a dozen pound mutts. Good luck on getting her out the door permanently. She's toxic and to...
Another female here to agree with the "to much drama" aspects of both nursing school AND nursing. Just be aware, that as long as you continue to be in a human business (vs building computers or...
