  1. Pregnancy Loss and Unhappy New Grad

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

    I am not quite sure how you come up with the figures in your post: You started your job in February 2018, will graduate the new grad program in November & will have one year of experience in 6...

  2. Quit while on orientation

    NurseDiane replied to Throwaway11's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can't imagine any employer or manager not understanding resigning to take a higher paying job. This has nothing to with burning bridges---everybody wants to make more. Just make sure that you...

  3. Recovery Trek

    NurseDiane replied to Carriesmith91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh no, no, no, no. There must be written instructions from your BON that describes, in detail, what you must to in an effort to get your license back. I would imagine it's something like submit a...

  4. Anyone else being GPS tracked?

    NurseDiane replied to RN0904's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You're damned right. They have no right to any access of your personal cell phone. If they want to start monitoring nurses, they're going to have to give out some sort of GPS tracking devices---but...

  5. Anyone else being GPS tracked?

    NurseDiane replied to RN0904's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would tell the BON that if they want to violate my 4th Amendment rights to reasonable expectation of privacy in my personal life, they'll have to sue me in federal court & have a damned good...

  6. Anyone else being GPS tracked?

    NurseDiane replied to RN0904's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I said pretty much the same thing before reading your post. When the BON starts infringing on a nurse's 4th Amendment rights, they must be stopped. Nurses in monitoring programs are not criminals,...

  7. Anyone else being GPS tracked?

    NurseDiane replied to RN0904's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No they can't. If it is not in your contract, they cannot make it a requirement. If they want to monitor your location, I would tell them that I want a new contract drafted, DO NOT AGREE OVER THE...

  8. Anyone else being GPS tracked?

    NurseDiane replied to RN0904's topic in Nurses Recovery

    NO. No no no. Nowhere in any of the rules/provisions governing ISNAP, and I'm sure nowhere in any nurse's contact, does it state that a third party administrator, the Indiana BON or any other entity...

  9. Affinity Testing

    NurseDiane replied to Headlights7's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Arbitrarily handing out 5 year programs is absurd. Even in criminal cases, sentences are individualized & based on current & past history. What I find ironic & totally against the...

  10. Affinity Testing

    NurseDiane replied to Headlights7's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What IPN is putting nurses through is downright abusive. Pushing nurses into debt so they can keep their licenses is not reasonable, not to mention all of the other conditions required of nurses to...

  11. "Recovery" and public shaming

    NurseDiane replied to noctanol's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Agreed. However, simply contacting your state legislators with a letter that outlines how nurses are humiliated & shamed by BON's publishing very personal, humiliating & downright hateful...

  12. "Recovery" and public shaming

    NurseDiane replied to noctanol's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is a perfect example of the abuses perpetrated by nursing boards across the country. Prosecuting a nurse for a DUI (which, incidentally, does not mean that you had a drinking problem---it means...

  13. IPN issues- 2015

    NurseDiane replied to NurseEmRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The legitimacy of 12 step programs is beginning to be challenged in a very serious way by some very qualified individuals, which could very well flip the "addiction medicine" specialty on its head....

  14. IPN issues- 2015

    NurseDiane replied to NurseEmRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, that is quite interesting. That means that they CAN be sued and cannot claim immunity to legal action because they are a governmental entity. If they are a private entity, which being...

  15. Flu Shot or Mask?

    NurseDiane replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I got a flu shot back in the mid 90's, when they first came out. I had an extremely severe reaction that landed me in the emergency room the same evening I received the shot. They kept telling me...

  16. RN With 27 Years Experience - Can't find permanent employment

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

    My experience has been the same---I've been an RN for nearly 30 years. I have experience in PACU, ED, ICU, med-surg, medical office & infusions. When I fill out an application & send my...

  17. Kiss My Nursing Dream Goodbye?

    NurseDiane replied to HanaJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, you screwed up at a community college. That is not a very good way to show any 4 year college that you have what it takes to get through nursing school---failing an accounting class,...

  18. Prospective SRNA with Lower GPAs

    NurseDiane replied to mdubb342's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know schools look at GPA's from undergrad and that they weigh heavily in their decision. I actually don't think the GPA should be weighed so heavily, and I'll tell you why: We all know...

  19. Future looks bleak for CRNAs

    NurseDiane replied to superking's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There is always a battle between anesthesiologists (MDA) and CRNA's. MDA's feel insulted that nurses do the same jobs that they do, and sometimes they feel that CRNA's are "taking away" business....

  20. Don't do the physicians work!

    NurseDiane replied to ModernRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurses have been policing physicians since the professions started. However, with the regulations that are in force now (that seem to cover almost everything---HCAPS, etc.), repercussions are worse...

  21. Interviewer laughed at me!

    NurseDiane replied to Corky,LPN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Chuckling at someone's response is one thing, calling them a "weirdo" in an interview is another thing altogether. I don't know why the Director of Quality Control would be interviewing you in the...

  22. Is this a possible case of age discrimination?

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

    Being told you're "old", "slow" and "fat" are not only discriminatory, it is verbal harassment. Being told you are "old" is age discrimination, and if I were you I would file an EEOC complaint &...

  23. I got fired while being on orientation at a hospital for just 1 week. Why did this happen?

    NurseDiane replied to Strugaaa4eva's topic in General Nursing

    The disappearance to take a 30 minute phone call PLUS the fact that she was a no show to work is the reason she was fired. Come on---when a nurse finishes the classroom part of orientation they are...

  24. I got fired while being on orientation at a hospital for just 1 week. Why did this happen?

    NurseDiane replied to Strugaaa4eva's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with you about this. Having done legal nurse consulting, attorneys can be contacted via email if a call is missed. You will practically never get an attorney on the phone in the morning...

  25. I got fired while being on orientation at a hospital for just 1 week. Why did this happen?

    NurseDiane replied to Strugaaa4eva's topic in General Nursing

    I also grew up in the days where you had to wait until you got home to call someone or receive a call. In my opinion, it was not necessary to take a call from your attorney in the last 30 minutes of...
