    Nurse Resigns by Sending 'I Quit' Cake to Her Employer

    elkpark replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I looked up the story, and found this; she's not shy about badmouthing her former employer to the press: Nurse Quits Job With Awesome Cake Resignation Notice Doesn't sound like a joke to me. I'm sure...

    Nurse Resigns by Sending 'I Quit' Cake to Her Employer

    elkpark replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to go out on another limb and guess that, based on the "I QUIT" with multiple exclamation points, and "OFFICIAL NOTICE" with the date, her intention was to resign without notice ...

    Nursing from US to UK

    elkpark replied to Anna14111's topic in Nurse Registration

    Welcome to allnurses! I am no expert on any of this, but I know that people have posted here in the past that the UK and some other European countries don't recognize the US accelerated nursing...

    Is it legal to work as an aid while you are an RN

    elkpark replied to Rn 1979's topic in General Nursing

    In the example you give, the other RN (the one who just walks by) isn't directly responsible because s/he isn't assigned to that client. However, an RN working as a tech is assigned to a set of...

    RN license to CNS license

    elkpark replied to jezzabel08's topic in General Nursing

    Now I'm curious, so I went to the website and looked. The FL BON website says the following about CNS licensure: "For Certification as a Clinical Nurse Specialist, the requirements are as follows and...

    elkpark replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    What possible difference does it make what the cake says, as long as it tastes good??

    Nurse Resigns by Sending 'I Quit' Cake to Her Employer

    elkpark replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    That may well be true; but the reality is that administrators and facilities rarely suffer any negative consequences from treating employees with disrespect, but responding in kind as an employee,...

    Nurse Resigns by Sending 'I Quit' Cake to Her Employer

    elkpark replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if a cake actually "counts" as official notice (as compared to an e-mail or snail mail ...) And I hope it was chocolate! :) (And, according to the link, she only worked there seven months...

    Do I tell that I failed nursing school in my applications?

    elkpark replied to silkyut's topic in General Students

    Most school applications ask you to submit transcripts from every other school you've attended. If you omit the other school and they find out about that, they are likely to consider that academic...

    Try to move to another state! Need advice!

    elkpark replied to SalzlRachel's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to allnurses! :balloons: First, you don't "transfer" a license. You apply for a new license in the new state. Licenses don't "transfer." Second, check the TN BON website; all the info and...

    NP vs MD Should be Directed Elsewhere

    elkpark replied to AAC.271's topic in General Nursing

    This from the same person who has previously posted rather inflammatory threads about whether MDs and medical schools should be eliminated and NPs take over health care, and why shouldn't NPs get paid...

    What the hail is a 'capstone', anyway?!

    elkpark replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    "Capstone" is a popular term now in nursing academia, and different schools use it to mean different things, so your best bet is probably to ask your school about what the requirements are. Since you...

    Pigeonhole?! Psych RN

    elkpark replied to Open mind's topic in General Nursing

    When people talk about getting "pigeonholed" in psych, they mean that if you spend many years doing psychiatric nursing and nothing else, it can be difficult to get hired into a med-surg area, but a...

    Homeopathy taught in a Pharmacology class?!?!

    elkpark replied to dura.mater's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's not homeopathy. Lots of medications that are used today are originally derived from natural sources (digitalis and penicillin are other good examples). But homeopathy is something entirely...

    CNL

    elkpark replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Here is my own little personal conspiracy theory about the creation of the CNL; universities found themselves with significant numbers of people who wanted to enter nursing but who already had BA/BS...

    Nurse making the jump from UK to USA, needing a bit of advice

    elkpark replied to frand22's topic in Immigration Advice

    Silverdragon didn't misunderstand you. Only a few states (if there are still any at all) still use the CGFNS exam. Every US state BON requires applicants to have (whatever number of specific hours...

    LPNs Some input PLEASE How do you find the state to work in?

    elkpark replied to Lmomma's topic in Florida Nursing

    There are a bunch of threads here about employment and working conditions in FL; have you taken a look? I grew up in FL, left the first chance I got, and would never consider going

    Will my Previous Degrees be put to Use?

    elkpark replied to jkh440's topic in Nursing Career

    People often come here and ask that. I always find it helpful to reframe these kinds of question -- how much would my nursing degrees and experience "count towards anything" if I were trying to...

    Are NPs allowed to strike?

    elkpark replied to AAC.271's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Who said physicians "cannot" strike? They haven't, much, in the past in large part because, in order to engage in collective bargaining and strike in the US, you have to be an employee of an employer...

    Do nurse practioners round with doctors?

    HIPAA violation

    elkpark replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    You "disclosed" the information to yourself (information you were not authorized to have), and the point isn't whether your mother felt her privacy was violated or not; the point was that you violated...

    Questions from My wheelchair about Nursing

    elkpark replied to Totalnoob's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Well, it may be possible but it would certainly be a long shot. I've known a lot of nurses with a lot of different disabilities over my decades in nursing, but have not (yet) encountered anyone...

    Although Women Dominate the Nursing Profession, Do Men Make More Money?

    elkpark replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing
