    My coworker was high and got away with it

    DolceVita replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    Hopefully we all know that is not true. There are any number of things that might jeopardize our license that can happen outside of work. It is then the business of our respective BONs. For example,...

    How easy is it to lose a license in correctional setting?

    DolceVita replied to reptilesavvy's topic in Correctional

    That is some very misinformed thinking by people who have probably no direct experience or knowledge in that area. Always have your own insurance. The cost is minimal to protect yourself and your...

    Facility not allowing us patient contact

    DolceVita replied to stockmanjr's topic in General Students

    What a shame your clinical hours were truncated. We learn things in psych that transfer to all other areas. In truth I would be grateful your other lecturer was on the case. As worrisome as it...

    Concerned..please help

    DolceVita replied to Maria1308's topic in General Nursing

    These are some excellent questions. Not to escape the nursing responsibility of the OP but I have compassion for her (him? can't remember now). I totally agree with the post about our ability to...

    Nice thread. Very helpful even for non ER

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    DolceVita replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    So I thought I would repost the original. Please note the OP says he/she reported to their charge and then there are a lot of "we" investigations. "We also checked all his pyxis pulls" & "we...

    Item for nursing school

    DolceVita replied to NursetoNP23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    At graduation I bought myself a seriously nice watch with a sweeping hand. It is metal, water resistant and I can clean that puppy with a toothbrush if necessary (or soak it in a solution of bleach)....

    Nursing Students Looked at my EMR... HIPAA?

    DolceVita replied to femnursingstudent's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Make the formal request for an audit through the hospital. They can detect all activity on your record. You should not have to do anything more than make that request. I am sorry this happened to...

    Got in trouble inserted 16f instead of 18 f

    DolceVita replied to Kadidi's topic in General Nursing

    Not to be a thread party pooper but I would discourage posting/sharing details that would lead you to be identified if this have been reported to the BON (if that is what you mean by

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    DolceVita replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    What a pity the charge nurse didn't handle this differently too. Launching an investigation of that nature on such a flimsy reed of "evidence" is very damaging for anyone. It has allowed not only...

    Licensure by endorsement or go to Florida to test?

    DolceVita replied to cnsrn1's topic in Nursing Career

    I absolutely see that you could have had that experience endorsing but it doesn't precisely apply here. Authorization To Test (ATT) is given by the BON where one expects/hope for initial licensure. I...

    Licensure by endorsement or go to Florida to test?

    DolceVita replied to cnsrn1's topic in Nursing Career

    I strongly encourage you to read the Florida requirements carefully yourself including any and all of the instruction documents. I licensed directly into another state and it was very simple because...

    Anybody work at an STI clinic?

    DolceVita replied to quazar's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Follow you bliss if you can. I have done teaching about STIs for the last three years and found it very rewarding. The research, preparing, taking questions, dispelling common myths -- completely...

    New nurse needing advise!

    DolceVita replied to adr60763's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There are three hospitals within an hour of my location that clearly state graduate nurses that are hired (i.e. pre-licensure) will get specific benefits. One of these mentioned is, for example,...

    The film: Vaxxed.

    DolceVita replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very sorry for their loss. It does, however bring up an excellent point (forgive me I haven't read down all the threads and someone may have mentioned it) that is, personal stories of preventable...

    Would you report possible diversion?

    DolceVita replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Observing open sessions of the BON and reviewing minutes is not the same as actually sitting in on closed sessions. Not all boards operate in the same way. We also should all have our own...

    Anyone going to the NSNA conference in Disney this April?

    Anyone thinking of going? Anyone been to past NSNA annual conferences, as students, and recommend

    Would you report possible diversion?

    DolceVita replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    True that. Which is also why the OP was correct in what she did. If her suspicions are correct, and she just "had a word" with the individual, they would simply move on to another method. I am over...

    Would you report possible diversion?

    DolceVita replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This is the worst kind of goofy addict thinking I have seen in a long time. I know addicts better than most. All nursing and patient concerns aside, and those are many. The utter lack of personal...

    CNA impersonating RN

    DolceVita replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    If she really has RN on her name tag that is something that needs reported. How that came to be can be investigated by someone else. Thinking out loud...why do we seem to question the motives of...

    continuing AA after recovery program?

    DolceVita replied to TXRN2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There was another more important thing I wanted to add... When I first needed help from AA there were women there with quality continuous sobriety. Without their help things would have turned out...

    "C" in A&P1 Can and should I take it again?

    DolceVita replied to raspysunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on the C in 5 weeks! Seriously. I repeated a class for that reason and confess that I was not that motivated. Got the A but it was extra work and a pain in the bum. Turned out not to be...
