  1. Call in sick over cut on hand?

    Keep the wounds clean and dry, take your antibiotic as prescribed, use your PPE, and wash/sanitize your hands as appropriate. Doesn't sound like a reason to call out to me IMHO
  2. According to the prior posting from the Florida BON...only if the pt was mechanically ventilated and has a secured airway. Both of which I highly doubt given the dental setting. This is shady sounding practice and one that could easily cost you...
  3. Feeling defeated with NCLEX... I need serious help.

    Don't take this the wrong way but it sounds like your problem is a combination of 2 main issues: 1. Poor studying habits throughout your training program 2. A less than rigorous program Nothing wrong with the suggestions above for trai...
  4. Hardware removal post finger fracture

    Came into where...what setting?
  5. Audiometrics Baseline Revision Class?

    You can take the CAOHC supervisory course but only an Audiologist or Physician can make a baseline revision. So you'd just be taking the course for informational purposes only. You can, and should, take a CAOHC certification course to obtain an ...
  6. Should I go to WGU or traditional nursing school?

    WGU prelicensure program...just another way of loosening and lowering the standards in response to the "nursing crisis" IMHO
  7. Am I contractually obligated to get my BSN?

    Contact HR and find out
  8. New England Institute of Tech FNP program

    Sounds like a fly-by-night program that thinks it's being slick by "disclosing" it may or may not be could enough for the State of RI and that it's definitely not acceptable to any other state My 2 cents...find a nationally accredited program so...
  9. What to do with an RN license without a nursing degree?

    I found this from the CA Board of Registered Nursing once you said that: "LVN 30 Unit Option Designed as a career ladder for California Licensed Vocational Nurses wishing to become registered nurses. Takes approximately 18-24 months. No de...
  10. What to do with an RN license without a nursing degree?

    so...what degree in Nursing do you have that allowed you to obtain your RN license?
  11. Odd Work Letter Request by Patient

    Here's a potential twist on the request... Did the patient decide to stop taking the medication on their own or did you mutually decide to taper the patient off the medication or cease the medication with medical oversight? Employer may be looki...
  12. Should I go for First Assist?

    I don't understand why you're not working as an NP already for this practice? Just because they want you to be a First Assist...which you don't even have to be an NP to obtain? The practice doesn't seem to understand what the scope of practice f...
  13. Are more letters after your name better or ridiculous?

    Exactly. List the degrees and certifications that matter in a given setting/situation. Anything else is overkill.
  14. License Being Reported By Admin

    Right now sound like it's just a rumor. I would try and verify this actually happened to someone for the reason you stated. If you can't verify it I'd ignore it as nothing but rumor mill BS. If you can verify it happened I'd find a new position ASAP ...
  15. These are essentially the same thing. For the most part I just write "NP"...easier and the certification is understood since you have the credential. No need to write it out every time.
