    Working on Expired License for 5 Weeks

    xoemmylouox replied to sainttchristopher's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I believe I have posted about this before. I had a coworker who "forgot" to renew their license for 4 years.. My employer had finally asked for her license renwel notice, and then was when it all came...

    What kind of job can I get with an ADN but no license?

    xoemmylouox replied to LM2015's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm.. Ours does not do this yet. Some have shrink wrap on them, but I'll be honest - I would take it off. I wouldn't buy an expensive text like that without reviewing it

    Do you have dreams about your job?

    xoemmylouox replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

    I have ridiculous dreams/nightmares/who-knows-what often. It isn't usually about work, but often involves my coworkers.. I have not yet had a dream about Allnurses

    Job rejection reason - anyone ever had this happen?

    xoemmylouox replied to bearpaw2222's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a mess of politics and busy-bodies. I know you are disappointed, but it doesn't sound like a healthy environment anyway. Keep looking with you head held

    What kind of job can I get with an ADN but no license?

    xoemmylouox replied to LM2015's topic in General Nursing

    There are many apps and books. I suggest going to your local bookstore like Barnes and Nobles and read through practice books. I think answering mock questions over and over will help refresh things...

    Question regarding resignation

    xoemmylouox replied to Okrn39's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Many will let you stay PRN or per diem IF you were a good employee AND they need the help. They do not HAVE to do

    I'm a patient. Sorry to intrude.

    xoemmylouox replied to francisarsenic's topic in General Nursing

    If it is really bothering you say something about it. I doubt that nurse even remembers the comment at this point. Believe me there are things that are MUCH worse said to us

    PRN med surg travel?

    xoemmylouox replied to nyc2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it is worth it. People see things differently. If you can afford to not work, and have no interest in it, then stay at home. However, if you could use the $$$ or at least want to keep working,...

    OMG - how much more bad can things get?

    xoemmylouox replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

    We are unaware of many of the horrors that others endure. One does not have to leave the U.S. to see starvation, abuse, neglect, and absolute misery. We still have racism, violence, and ignorance...

    xoemmylouox replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I agree.. I always teased that everyone gets some.. sip for the baby and a few shots for me.. By the end we would all be oblivious to teething pain.. Luckily my young'n didn't go crazy with teething...

    There has been quite a few lately that I shake my head while reading.. I'm not sure if it is trolling or just true fools. My husband often says I expect too much of people, like the fact that I expect...

    What do you think is toughest shift

    xoemmylouox replied to mcclot1993's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think the 7-3 was the hardest. Between families, extra staff, and management, I was overwhelmed. 3-11 was tough with social events. I never worked the overnight shift in LTC. I know they were dumped...

    Is this a new trend?

    xoemmylouox replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose I get the "idea" of eliminating briefs, but using scratchy towels is not the answer. How about having resonable staffing and absorbent pads? I suppose I don't have the answer, but I do know...

    I'm a sexless nurse

    xoemmylouox replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I guess you can just call me insensitive. I didn't know this was such a big deal since I have dealt with male genitalia and body orifices since the start of my career. I have never expected anyone to...

    Test results on hold

    xoemmylouox replied to cardiacgirl123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It means you have to wait because the "test results are on hold". It could mean a number of things. I know how tough it is to wait it out, but trust me we have it much easier now than back in the day....

    HELP A GUY OUT!!

    xoemmylouox replied to ChronicSG's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I vote Tele. As I always say there is more to it than just the unit. Are these all at the same hospital? If not which has the best benefits, which is closer to home, which offers the best training,...

    I'm a sexless nurse

    xoemmylouox replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I have NEVER understood why males need a "chaperone" to do female care, but females do not when providing male care. I have a male OBGYN and I LOVE him and would pick him over any of the females we...

    Losing Job Before Graduation?

    xoemmylouox replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    If you can afford it do what is best for you. Maybe look for another part time job? It provides you a foot in the door somewhere once you do
