  1. medication and licensing

    Speculating replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like there is more going on than she may wish you or others to know. With that, Agnus, maybe she is trying to bow out

  2. Need help with all of your expert advice!!

    Speculating replied to lildebbie-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Lildebbie I think you're on the right track. Find a good lawyer. I don't think you'll have any trouble proving your case. In fact, I would be willing to bet that the hospital settles outside of court....

  3. Are there any exercises I can do to help?

    Speculating replied to TonyafutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well TonyafutureRN looks like you might benefit from 3rdShiftGuy's pearls of wisdom. It sounds to me like he has a pretty good grasp on back care. Bad backs are the quickest things to knock us out of...

  4. Union vs. Nonunion-Worth Dues Paid?

    Speculating replied to allsmiles's topic in General Nursing

    I would certainly work union if I had the opportunity, but down here in Florida union work for nurses is all most unheard of. And, trying to get union into a hospital that doesn't all ready have it...

  5. Learning Injections on EACH OTHER

    Speculating replied to kbeachworth's topic in General Nursing

    I think everyone here so far has been stunned in disbelief that the practice of giving injections to fellow students is still acceptable. I'm absolutely sure that the insurance company's for these...

    Speculating replied to Raevyn's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Rae and welcome to the Board. Please don't let your age bother you. I didn't sit for my Boards until I was thirty-eight. Your age will bring maturity to the table that will only benefit you. And...

  9. Get ready... here they come....

    Speculating replied to Rhon1991's topic in Emergency

    The sad thing is it will be wasted money and a waste of time for all because without suicidal thoughts there's nothing we're going to for this young lady in the emergency department. There's no way...

  10. URGENT Help needed to Nurse-To-Be!!!

    Speculating replied to tai_ngau's topic in General Nursing

    Tai_ngau, I imagine you will run into some obstacles, but I don't believe they'll be insurmountable. Whether your hepatitis B positive or not generally isn't a question asked in the initial interview....

  14. License Renewal Reminders

    Speculating replied to fiestynurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's certainly your own responsibility to maintain your own credentials, and by no means should you be allowed to work on an expired license. Just see what happens when you let something as simple as...

  15. Is my mama having depression or dementia+

    Speculating replied to florry's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Florry, I apologize if I came across as chastising you for going behind your mother's back. That was by no means my intention. I would do exactly the same in your situation. I'm really not feeling...

  16. Is my mama having depression or dementia+

    Speculating replied to florry's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    From your writing, I don't think I'm seeing what it is you're trying to express. From your illustration - dementia No, she may be depressed but a great deal of negativity doesn't get you a diagnosis...

  17. How much pay should I ask for?

    Speculating replied to grad's topic in General Nursing

    $17.85 excluding differential sounds about right. Like you said you are a new grad with little to no experience. BSN's generally make about $1-2 more an hour than your typical ASN. I also live in...

  18. Mom Accused Of Injecting Human Waste Into Daughter

    Speculating replied to Soon2BNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Speculating replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    Just have the best experience you can have for yourself. Unfortunetly, no one is really going to care where you went to school. As well, no one will care how good of a GPA you had; and lastly, no one...

    Speculating replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing
