   NJ RN Renewal—error on application question

   JKL33 replied to Wagster55's topic in General Nursing

   I don't see why there would technically be a problem with the way you answered. In #2 all you (mistakenly) did was decline to give up your right to NOT incriminate yourself by answering question #3....

   Unprofessional surveyor

   JKL33 replied to 1 tired nurse's topic in General Nursing

   OP, can you clarify this? What do you mean you received monetary damages? Was this in the form of unpaid days off as part of your discipline or some sort of actual fine or...? Very sorry you are...

   CCU vs ER

   JKL33 replied to gratefultobeanurse16's topic in General Nursing

   JKL33 replied to CharLPN's topic in General Nursing

   Just my personal opinion: IF another occasion arises that you feel compelled to report, I would not report any suspicions or possibility unrelated stuff like who talked to whom about when they...

   Big issues at work

   JKL33 replied to Lindsey Oldag's topic in General Nursing

   Agree with the above. Likely worse before better. Unfortunately the numbers are a separate factor that is not in your favor. This DON brought SEVEN people to this employer along with herself, so...

   Need advice - is this malingering?

   JKL33 replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I would follow employer's policy of limiting to temporary disability in this case. From what you have reported about the situation that's the extent of what you can fairly/honestly gauge anyway, and...

    2 assist job

    JKL33 replied to 187281's topic in General Nursing

    Well this isn't entirely helpful, but no they can't make you. On the other hand they don't have to continue to employ you either. This is one of those topics for which you need to decide where to draw...

    Overcoming Fear and Avoidance

    JKL33 replied to im-a-radio's topic in General Nursing

    For those who suffer with a tendency toward anxiety I think it is pretty common for things to get severe (or at least have that potential) when challenged by a specific stressor. I do recommend that...

    JKL33 replied to im-a-radio's topic in General Nursing

    May reply to specific points later, but as an opening question — do you happen to be one who struggles with garden variety anxiety (tendency toward anxiety/generalized anxiety), for example prone to...

    Why Is Compassion and Support missing in Nursing?

    JKL33 replied to Steph1985's topic in Nursing Professionalism
