    15 yr old misdemeanor a thorn in my side!

    IHeartPeds87 replied to LB49er's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Even if it is expunged, you will have to let the Board of nursing know. HOWEVER, letting the board of nursing know and letting every potential employer know are two VERY different

    15 yr old misdemeanor a thorn in my side!

    IHeartPeds87 replied to LB49er's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I HIGHLY reccomend you check with your state laws about expungement. If you can get that expunged from your record, then go for it and don't worry about it! I also HIGHLY reccommend that you consult...

    What constitutes falsifying documentation?

    IHeartPeds87 replied to physioex's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I am not a nurse yet. I was a caregiver at a facility and have seen this type of "pre-charting" run rampant, and indirectly encouraged by management. We used to have to do fifteen minute...

    Let's hear how awesome nursing is!

    IHeartPeds87 replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    You get to help people when they are most vulnerable. I will be a satisfied person when I put head to pillow because I know that I did SOMETHING worthwhile that day. As cliched as it sounds, it...

    IHeartPeds87 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, who works part time at a residential facility for adults with DD. I used to work there until I relocated. She was telling me that people...

    Dating someone from within ???

    IHeartPeds87 replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of people meet their significant others at work. That being said, it isn't something I would risk for just a fling, because you are walking a thin

    Off track... getting further away from what I want to do

    IHeartPeds87 replied to txm910's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto what everyone else said. Take the job you have been offerred....a paycheck is important! That being said, I would also be in touch with the recruiter. Send email updates saying to the effect...

    What do you look for in a Nurse Supervisor?

    IHeartPeds87 replied to Leelee2's topic in General Nursing

    A couple things I would want in a nursing supervisor: - One who attempts to understand the realities of floor nursing by picking up a shift every once in awhile. It doesn't have to be that often...

    IHeartPeds87 replied to grateful2010's topic in General Nursing

    I know that there are several "refresher" courses that people can take. I believe I have heard rumblings of some being offerred online, but don't quote me on that. If you take one of those courses,...

    "I know, I know"

    IHeartPeds87 replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps trying to approach the topic with her in a different way might help? Try to say something to the effect of "I know it must be really tough to get back into the workplace after xx many years....

    Lower stress areas to 'get your feet wet' in nursing?

    IHeartPeds87 replied to amr1234's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that the first year of nursing is difficult not so much due to a particular specialty, rather because of the lack of experience. I don't think that any specialty is going to be...

    IHeartPeds87 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Do Accelerated BSN Programs look at Undergrad School??

    IHeartPeds87 replied to guest_57352's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the poster that stated that every program is different. Some programs care only about your grades in the prerequisite courses. Other programs care about every grade from every class...

    Are patients more likely to be honest with the nurse or the doctor?

    IHeartPeds87 replied to sparklie.lady's topic in General Nursing

    I think that many people are in denial of the situation, particularily when it comes to addicts. They may lie to others because in truth, they are lying to themselves. Addicts may also lie to others...
