    Should I go to WGU or traditional nursing school?

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

    Wait a minute. This is a student in a pre-nursing stage. She can't become a nurse online. She needs to already be an RN to get a BSN from WGU...am I wrong

    Will my nursing license be at risk for working with unlicensed individuals claiming to be counselors and LSWs for children?

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

    When the licensing board takes this case up and comes on the site......do you want to be there? I wouldn't unless I were the person making the report and it appears that you are. Hmmm. I know I...

    Medication Route Error

    subee replied to OneRN50's topic in General Nursing

    I was just guessing but I guess I was right. It's not rude to point out that you might have an anxiety disorder. After 9/11, I developed a case myself. I don't know you but I do know that you are...

    Should I go into float pool as a new grad?

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

    Functioning as an RN is VERY difference than functioning as a CNA. Previous floating never hurts but it doesn't reflect the added judgement and responsibilities of an RN. Med -surg is a...

    Medication Route Error

    subee replied to OneRN50's topic in General Nursing

    Think about this: why are you punishing yourself with anxiety for a minor, minor, minor error in administration? If you reach this level of anxiety easily, maybe you should do something about it....

    subee replied to Nursefailure's topic in Nurses Recovery

    But you said in a previous post: TX PEER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IS EASY. I have a Restricted license and CAN NOT GET A JOB ANYWHERE! The thought has occurred to me that your time with TPAN isn't the...

    You are not going to lose your job! You reacted ethically. We all make errors. It makes us more careful. The moral of the story is that your can't let anyone or anything distract you while...

    Just got the dreaded phone call

    I don't know the answer to that since I lived in a non-compact state. I would guess that they notify all of the other states in your compact that you are in a

    Anyone ever go into rehab voluntarily? How do you navigate BON/Work?

    That is AWFUL. Like I said...it is Texas. Just another reason not to live

    I had to pass a drug test last Summer for a small job and was worried because I was taking CBD, all of which has a trace of THC unless specially treated I passed without a problem so am basing my...

    RNC officially bows out of hosting primary debates

    subee replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Chicken? Hell, yes!! How are Republicans supposed to get any feel for the differences between their candidates if they can't watch them debate? Oh, I know the answer to this one. Fox will tell...

    subee replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It seems that they can't control their candidates on the stage and Trump doesn't want to show up so why bother. Debates have no relevance to a presidential election. Didn't Trump teach us

    Hospitals are mandated reporters. They can be fined if they don't report. Investigations can happen a year later because of staffing. This person will have a difficult time finding another

    Different specialties including nursing on monitoring and getting back to work

    subee replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Most nurses can't afford 12 week impatient treatment which is the gold standard. Partial outpatient treatment makes it difficult to continue working but it's only temporary. 5 years monitoring...

    It took me a while:( But I had to learn quickly because my first job was in a non teaching hospital and turnover time was only 20 minutes and the surgeons were breathtakingly quick compared to the...

    subee replied to offlabel's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I feel your pain. Before I retired, I noticed a lack of attention paid to the "art" of fine tuning your patient. IMV, the patient should be breathing, extubated and awake when the drapes are pulled...

    Something is amiss here. Does Texas not allow a 30 year old event to be expunged? I can't imagine a board restricting a license for something so ancient but it is

    New Grad jobs aside from floor positions

    Well, you can write off surgery now because you will have to insert Foleys often. Most of the jobs you have mentioned above are reserved for folks with experience except for a rehab position. But...

    Anyone ever go into rehab voluntarily? How do you navigate BON/Work?

    subee replied to spiritualconfront's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not even in rehab or dialysis? Almost all of the nurses I encountered in the program I was affiliated with, were able to find jobs. It might not have been their first choice job but it didn't...

    I'm sure this Abbott idiot would approve of tattooing legals. Maybe, instead of a yellow star, it could be the white lone star on the Texas flag. But I do appreciate that his state is burdened with...

    subee replied to spiritualconfront's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well yes, I get that. But the OP is coming from the point of view that these people were innocent and unfairly treated because they showed no signs of impairment. You, I and others know that one can...

    That is true re: suspension but suspension (in the program I worked in) was variable according to individual circumstances. Most drug users had their licenses suspended for the first 90 days and then...

    I disagree. Democrats prefer democracy and the Republicans who are OK with autocracy. Generalized but
