  1. need help comparing states

    PMHNP10 replied to apinteleyid's topic in Post Graduate Students

    oh, 1 other thing; in 2006 (I think) the National Council for the State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) released a vision statement; in short, they want all state nursing boards to change their rules...

  2. need help comparing states

    PMHNP10 replied to apinteleyid's topic in Post Graduate Students

    when you mention autonomy and prescriptive rights, you can look up The Pearson Report. Every year, Linda Pearson lists each state and who regulates the practice (i.e., nursing or nursing and...

  3. NCLEX: How many times is enough?

    PMHNP10 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was thinking about posting this question earlier, but decided not to post until I read a thread dealing with the topic. So what do y'all think? If a person hasn't passed the test by the nth time...

  4. RN husband addicted to opiates

    PMHNP10 replied to joker2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's simply not accurate. I will agree that either one of us can find anecdotal examples where they have/have not worked (e. g., the Kurt Cobain tragedy); and you might even be able to find...

  5. Best way to ask out a patient

    PMHNP10 replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    So I ask again, given that you think it's ethical to date a recent patient you provided care for, how is it that if you ask it is not ethical, but her asking makes it ok? I truly don't see how...

  6. Best way to ask out a patient

    PMHNP10 replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    hmmmm...interesting thread with all the defensiveness and biting comments so CRNATOB...I think it's clear you will hook up with this girl; I'm not here to say you should/shouldn't because it wouldn't...

  7. How is school going so far?

    PMHNP10 replied to VTBabyNurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Although I just officially started the NP program, I had already taken a few MSN level courses--theory, research, sadistics, and patho, which I earned A's in all. Well on Wednesday, October 1st, we...

  8. My friend withdrew from the program.

    PMHNP10 replied to lemonaidangel's topic in General Students

    Absolutely reasonable given all the time you've invested in attempting to help her get to the program. I hope you don't feel like you kinda failed because of her decision to quit. It would be very...

  9. My friend withdrew from the program.

    PMHNP10 replied to lemonaidangel's topic in General Students

    It's hard to say without hearing why she quit and a bit more about her. Perhaps she is young and immature? Or perhaps she allowed someone else to deflate her drive? Is there a financial situation?...

  10. NCLEX: How many times is enough?

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wow...nice little discussion here. Thank you all for participating. So here are some thoughts. If I'm not mistaken, in TX, you have 3 tries. If you don't do it by then you have to take it in...

  11. Less than forthright recruiter

    PMHNP10 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    so maybe speak with his supervisor to express your

  12. Less than forthright recruiter

    PMHNP10 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a tendency to believe in 2nd chances, but he failed to disclose a couple key elements. However, I'm wondering about this "stipend". Is it tax free? And if so, how does it work that you get...

  13. Why do Threads here get moved to the "Members Only" section?

    PMHNP10 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Although this MB is for entertainment and educational purposes, it is a business aeb the premium memberships and popups/ads. Nothing wrong with it, because after all, we live in a capitalistic...

  14. NP by state or USA?

    PMHNP10 replied to MommyandRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    what you pulled was from Oct. 2007; and I said TX was a part of the compact as supported by the remainder of the quote above, which is what I was saying...I agree with implementation, though; IA are...

  15. NP by state or USA?

    PMHNP10 replied to MommyandRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    unlike RN licensure, there are only 3 states that are a part of the compact for NPs--TX, UT, and IA (as of 2007); in part, the reason for this is that the scope of practice for each state is...

  16. Meth users and abusers

    PMHNP10 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    thank you...as I mentioned, we've never done studies on meth; I suspect that's because it's not as prominent in the beltway area of Houston; I've heard it is more of a problem in North Houston and...

  17. Meth users and abusers

    PMHNP10 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    did the research specifically say it was worse than other drugs? could you point me in the direction of your research? I'm in substance abuse research, but my clinic focuses more on cocaine and...

  18. Meth users and abusers

    PMHNP10 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it'd depend what you mean when you say "destructive"--on an individual basis? on a societal basis? It really is way too complicated of an issue to simplify by saying drug X is more/less...

  19. Worried about my background!!!!!!!

    PMHNP10 replied to sarah76wallace's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    We can't really give you too much advice except to tell you to check with your BON, because they are the ultimate authority and not try to hide it from the BON when you start to apply for...

  20. Meth users and abusers

    PMHNP10 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I understand and can appreciate your disdain for substance abuse, but I don't know that I'd classify them in a hierarchy. All of them lead to the ruin of lives, families and friendships. One isn't...

  21. Do travel nurses eventually have difficulty finding perm. positions?

    PMHNP10 replied to josefhrn's topic in General Nursing

    I guess the hiring mngr. can think as they wish, but the thought process is a bit faulted, IMHO. A nurse can leave any time they'd like, wheter they travel or not. For example, I left a job I...

  22. BON Bulletin

    PMHNP10 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    In TX we get the "Texas Board of Nursing Bulletin" every quarter. Within the publication are changes to NPA, other changes that effect nurses, accreditation status's for schools, and a list of...

  23. BON Bulletin

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in Nursing Career

    absolutely those folks need to be disciplined, but how many mess up because they don't chart something or they make a mistake due to having too great of a pt. load 300 nurses in a quarter seems like a...

  24. BON Bulletin

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in Nursing Career

    there but for the grace of God, go thee kinda my point with this thread was to get an idea if there was something specifically going on in TX where folks were getting in trouble more frequently; and...

  25. What is the dumbest most degrading, most unprofessional thing...

    PMHNP10 replied to Chico David's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I must confess...it is not below me to take that piece of propaganda and stick it in the urinal face up; nothing subliminal to the message I'm sending
