1. We’re all being “fired”! Is this legal?

   Devnation replied to Taylor22's topic in General Nursing

   As other commenters have said, it is likely entirely legal. That does not necessarily mean your only options are getting the cert or being fired. Definitely get in touch in touch with HR and find out...

2. Sleeping On Unit

   Devnation replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

   I know that it's too late for this situation but it's something to remember for the future. Never sign anything without time to calmly review and reflect on it, doubly so if you think it is...

   This. I wish I could like it a thousand times. I'm not a school nurse but I totally

4. Total Number of Nurse Practitioners Hits 325,000

   Devnation replied to MentalKlarity's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   It's not hysteria, it is fact. Yes, there will be an oversupply of primary care nurse practitioners in the very near future, at least. Don't take my word for it, check the statistics on the Department...

7. Nurses Charged in Deaths of 12 Nursing Home Residents

   Devnation replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

   I think it was you who said earlier that the expectations of nurses are sometimes too high. In many respects, I agree. It seems sometimes that nurses are expected to thrive and excel, despite...

8. Nurses Charged in Deaths of 12 Nursing Home Residents

   Devnation replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

   I thought long and hard about the various comments. I decided I needed more facts so I read the STATE OF FLORIDA DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS Case Report which I have excerpted below (in...

9. Murder-Suicide of Elderly Couple Worried About Healthcare Bills

   Devnation replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

   Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for Medicaid (except for extremely limited emergency services), and just because a person appears "able-bodied" does not mean they do not have a disability,...

10. Nurses Charged in Deaths of 12 Nursing Home Residents

    Devnation replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    It has not been stated in any of the articles I have read that the facility ever requested evacuation from the state. It is possible that if they had, they would not be facing charges. If any...

11. Nurses Charged in Deaths of 12 Nursing Home Residents

    Devnation replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    You are correct. We would not have taken all the patients at once. They should have been divided among the local hospitals. The point remains that emergency services were not contacted sooner and...

12. As Hurricane Dorian Approaches, 60% of FL Nursing Homes Still Without Backup Power

    Devnation replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Here we go again... Another tragedy waiting to happen. Clearly, the aftermath of Irma has taught nothing. This time, if any patients die as a result of power failure, they need to prosecute the owners...

13. Nurses Charged in Deaths of 12 Nursing Home Residents

    Devnation replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    Although three nurses and the administrator where charged, there seems to be plenty of blame to go around here. It is unclear just how much staff was present. The nursing home states they were fully...

    Devnation replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    I do not know of specific examples, but my state BON states they will seek an injunction against a person misrepresenting themselves as a nurse, and there is a fine of up to $20,000. Since this is a...

    Devnation replied to CICURNCHI's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If there is a university near you with a graduate nursing program, I would look at taking a few classes as a course-work only student. These programs will usually allow you to take a couple of...
