    Why your avatar?

    Mavrick replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    MISS YOU TOO. I got fooled by that imposter initially but on second glance I could easily tell the difference. Yeah, that profile pic is a fav. I was taking my new crocs out for float.... in Tahiti...

    Why your avatar?

    Mavrick replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    Well, my user name says a lot about me. Maverick spelled wonky. But then the avatar lends a little imagination to just plain weird. Really? A snowman at the beach? Just don't see that everyday....

    Can't get a job

    Mavrick replied to Dadrie's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Few or none. People who suggest this option to a new grad have never worked agency or travel,

    Mavrick replied to helper2018's topic in General Students

    There is so much wrong with this essay (paragraphs, sentence structure, spelling ...) Unfortunately 9:15pm the night before your paper is due is WAAAYYY too late to do much about it than offer to...

    Interim permit jobs

    Mavrick replied to Momo171208's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Does your permit say what you are permitted to do? Can you function as an RN or as a CNA? That will make a big difference in what type of job to look for. I have never heard of an interim

    Trump Admin Will Protect Health Workers Who Refuse Services On Religious Grounds

    Mavrick replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The article refers to refuse to treat not opposition or reservation. I have opposition to certain treatments (IVF, breast enhancements, frivolous surgery, etc.) not the people who have them. I care...

    Covered Up a Narcotic Med Error

    Mavrick replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    OK, you know you made a mistake. Actually two of them (the "crime" and the "cover-up"). You are now prepared to go through the punishment. The rest will have to just play itself out. Occurrence...

    What is the afterlife like?

    Mavrick replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I like a nice discussion with differing views expressed with respect for the other views. When you hang on to the "I am right" or "My view is THE way as opposed to A way of looking at it" we get to a...

    Trump Admin Will Protect Health Workers Who Refuse Services On Religious Grounds

    Mavrick replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It's a very slippery slope when health care workers can refuse to treat patients because of religious or moral beliefs. If you work at a facility that performs treatments to which you object and...

    Finished nursing school and waiting on approval from BRN to take nclex

    Mavrick replied to julicabr6731's topic in Nursing Career

    You don't actually transfer your license, you get another one in another state. You can have a license in more than one state. Go to the BON website of the state you wish to have a license in and...

    CARE PLAN HELP

    Mavrick replied to Mmathieson07's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    10000 times THIS. No nursing assessment = no nursing diagnosis. Stuff from books is pure speculation based on typical problems associated with the medical diagnosis. You patient will have their own...

    Must I be the one to nominate that ole Bachelorette in Nursing thread? It was/is my favorite rant and roll. https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/i-failed-out-984751.html A young wide-eyed...

    You have ALL my sympathies. I had a MO mailing address, lived and worked in KS, they got me. I lived in KS and worked a couple agency shifts in MO, they got me. Missouri will take a turnip grind it...

    Why all the drama with nursing?

    Mavrick replied to dogmom2016's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it is sad but true. If you are reliably the one to cave-in then they will keep coming to you. Management has no spine and will always take the path of least resistance. You really have to set...

    ICU, PACU or MedSurg for new 56 yr old nurse?

    Mavrick replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    PACU is not the place for a new grad especially in an acute care setting. You need experience and the confidence that comes from that experience to work so independently. Med-Surg experience is good,...

    Looking into nursing

    Mavrick replied to Bholmes's topic in Men in Nursing

    Your post should be in the General Nursing section. These issues are relevant to ANYONE going into nursing. I'm would advocate the slower/cheaper course of action. There does not seem to be an...

    Success with going back to old career?

    Mavrick replied to psychRN136's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like a very pragmatic suggestion that I don't disagree with at all. You had 15 happy years in accounting (but you still left) and 4 unhappy years in nursing (trying desperately to get...
