As others have said, check with the BON for their position. Also check with your employer or potential employer regarding their policy. Most employers have a zero-tolerance policy in place for safety-sensitive positions such as nursing as they are no...

I could see the use of boiler plate language being available as an option that was to be specifically chosen to be included in the note if it was completed. Just to have a giant note with a ton of things not actually discussed or covered...no wa...

Verify with the BON that this solution will satisfy their requirements.

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

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...

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...

Came into where...what setting?

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 ...

WGU prelicensure program...just another way of loosening and lowering the standards in response to the "nursing crisis" IMHO

Contact HR and find out

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...

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...

so...what degree in Nursing do you have that allowed you to obtain your RN license?

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...

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...

Exactly. List the degrees and certifications that matter in a given setting/situation. Anything else is overkill.

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 ...

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.

What you said..."I failed the drug test because I did smoke pot on vacation in Mexico (where it is not illegal) at a friends wedding the week before." What the Board hears is lack of professionalism, lack of accepting responsibility, lack of mat...

You graduated from an unaccredited program in 1993 (30 years ago). You didn't mention if you've been utilizing your ADN degree since then. If you haven't then there's your answer. At a minimum, you'll need to take a refresher course.

Don't work in NC but I have family there and I wouldn't consider working in that state just because it's a restricted practice state. Not interested in being micromanaged and having to have an expensive collaborative agreement. https://www.AANP...

Seven years on the same medication regimen with no issues. The only change you note is night shift which now results in medication changes, mental health changes, etc. Change back to day shift and let your mental health provider know the issues ...

Depends on the device and/or method they're trying to use

What you had was an "observed" collection. If someone is standing outside the door it's a "monitored collection". You sound like you're purposefully exaggerating being "naked" as you noted you had to lower your undergarments and raise your skirt...th...

I would say something along the lines of "I don't provide reference letters anymore due to them being altered and re-used without my permission" but do say something like " you can use my name and email for an electronic reference" and when the refer...
