    sleepwalker replied to uniteddemclub's topic in Nursing Career

    Just because they "said" they're from the State doesn't mean they actually are...could have been a fishing expedition by a lawyer, family member, etc. This could be a major HIPAA violation,...

  5. Offered a raise then ignored

    sleepwalker replied to lizet4455RN's topic in General Nursing

    The extra duties are being done. They short punted you with no intention of giving you a raise. Now they consider it a "moot" point and just one of your "other duties as

  6. Offered a raise then ignored

    sleepwalker replied to lizet4455RN's topic in Nursing Career

    If you weren't stuck with any extra duties I'd let it go. It was just something that was tossed around and didn't come to fruition. If you're in the same position (pay and responsibility wise) prior...

  7. From community college to crane

    sleepwalker replied to xhorxhina's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    your next step that you need to worry about is getting into an accredited BSN program and doing well in your nursing program (I.e. GPA of 3.5 or better)...don't look to far into the future and create...

  8. Nursing Exam Failure Rates Spark Review

    sleepwalker replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in Nursing News

    LOL...that would be interesting wouldn't it...treat Florida's results as an outlier and see if they are significantly skewing the data. Wonder how that would turn

  11. Quit First NP Job Without Notice

    sleepwalker replied to NPdancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nothing wrong with talking with your malpractice rep but I would strongly recommend getting an attorney. Sounds like they have a case for pt abandonment due to "disrupted business practices" since you...

  12. SEE Score Requirement

    sleepwalker replied to ClevelandICU's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What does the course curriculum say? If this is some type of new requirement that wasn't part of the curriculum when you started then you may have a point of argument. If it's in the curriculum as a...

  13. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    sleepwalker replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    They absolutely should have been fired. They lacked the presence of maturity to realize that posting such a degrading video in a public forum would be a "problem". That level of maturity and inability...

  14. Can atrial fibrillation cause cardiogenic shock?

    sleepwalker replied to Hacker's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Don't read too much into the question...it asks about A-fib not A-fib with RVR. Keep the thought process as simple as possible and let the question guide

    sleepwalker replied to treeye's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  21. Am I crazy?

    sleepwalker replied to NICUnLDRN's topic in General Specialties

    Unfortunately nothing says that you are guaranteed an interview. It's a blow to the ego and down-heartening especially when things sounded and appeared to be going so well. My advise....Just let...

  22. Full Code By Default- TBD

    sleepwalker replied to bmont96's topic in General Nursing

  23. Can Managers Override Policy and Drs Orders?!?

    sleepwalker replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking the same thing. I'm finding it hard to believe that any provider would tolerate a NM ignoring an order (not questioning...that is a different issue). A couple of well placed phone calls...

  25. Does RN experience affect NP salary quote?
