  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...

  3. Happy Nurse's week.... I guess

    Devnation replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    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...

  5. Any RN student clinicals cancelled because of COVID-19?

    Devnation replied to llg's topic in Disaster Preparation

    ...And as of today, all clinicals are cancelled for every degree program on

  6. Any RN student clinicals cancelled because of COVID-19?

    Devnation replied to llg's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm an ACNP student in Maryland and clinicals are still in session for both undergrad and grad students, so far. Classes have moved to

  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...

  14. Nurse Imposters

    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...

  15. GPA for CRNA

    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...

  16. Wanting to Quit Nursing School

    Devnation replied to _ashley_'s topic in General Students

    Ok, I guess I'm the lone dissenter so far. I don't think you should quit, at least not yet. I understand because I was in that boat too. I was great in the classroom and mediocre at clinical. I was...

  17. Is this fair move for my immediate supervisor to report me as noncompliant?

    Devnation replied to dehlnmaria's topic in General Nursing

    I would ask for a copy of the unit policies. If you do not have a unit policy that states PALS is required, they should not have taken action against you. Is it a good idea to have it if you treat...

  18. Urgent question

    Devnation replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    They are blatantly taking advantage of you. When you accept a management position you have to understand that extra pay comes with extra responsibilities, including coming in to cover when your...

  19. Nurse Imposters

    Devnation replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, nurse is a protected title and the BON reserves the right to file an injunction for fraudulent uasge. The penalty fine is up to $20,000. Most states do not have a law regarding who can...

  20. Does nursing ever get easier?

    Devnation replied to Red_Diamond's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes! Thankfully, it does get better. I spent my first year feeling like an utter moron, and my preceptor was a woman who was responsible for 4 people quitting. She was very experienced, and had a...

  21. Nurses help me

    Devnation replied to milo65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you post on allnurses.com about any mistake you've made expect a healthy dose of judgment from those who I have to assume must be perfect themselves, or else they'd know better than to kick a...

  22. Too Much On My Plate

    Devnation replied to TruvyNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was in a similar position when I started my AG-ACNP program. I was working two jobs, going full-time, pregnant, with a two-year-old and husband. I felt I was doing everything poorly. A year and a...

  23. Landing a job with an ADN?

    Devnation replied to JRMfutureRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I can't speak to Arizona or California, but I have not seen a hospital anywhere in my area (East Coast Mid-Atlantic) that prefers ADN to BSN on any unit. ADNs can get jobs here, but BSNs are...

  24. Universities with prearranged NP Practicums

    Devnation replied to Slhengy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In reply to Jules A: They are all DNPs, and most have been NPs for 10 years or more. They are all adult and/or acute care, as that is my track. Some do procedures, like bronchs, chest tubes

  25. overusing GLOVES

    Devnation replied to liluiass's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught that if it's wet, and not yours, wear
