I don’t pretend to have the answers for this, but the headline kinda tweaks me the wrong way, and I’d like to provide a little context to the “value” of at least some of these “$450,000” homes. In 2009-2011, my ex and I were living in Phoe...

I'd hold firm on your intentions to quit as soon as feasible- the BON is a thermonuclear option for an employer- if they're threatening it for anything that isn't obviously related to actual incompetence or something that endangers a patient, they ei...

If you value your license, you'll say nothing- especially in writing, without an attorney's guidance. Anything you say or write at this point will be used against you. You can't write anything down that'll make them just go "oh, sorry, carry ...

The simple answer is you probably can’t buy a $400k house on a single nursing salary, without a significant down payment. the next (unasked) question is why are capital gains (money earned by anything except from the sweat of your brow) ta...

I disagree wholeheartedly and emphatically with this theory. State boards always have the option to do an “emergency” license suspension if the allegations are both serious and there’s any hint that there is truth behind them. Further, th...

Actual answer, based on experience? I had a board complaint filed by an employer that “fired” me years ago. My attorney advised me not to disclose the pending complaint to potential employers, and to actively seek and take whatever positi...

The legal jeopardy attached to nursing isn’t a feature that makes anyone safer. In nursing, going against your employer’s wishes will result in termination in nearly every case. Unsafe staffing ratios being the pinnacle of this “professional” doubl...

One thing I haven’t heard mentioned - your school gets a report (in general terms) of the areas you failed in. My school encouraged anyone who didn’t pass to contact them, so that report could be reviewed & they could help with a focused study p...

I don’t doubt it a bit. Congress and the president have the best socialist healthcare available. If you’re willing to lie for no reason at all, lying for sympathy when you’re behind isn’t even a stretch.

I’m with the fake publicity stunt camp - to push the narrative that covid is minor and not a threat. Nothing has been off limits for trump so far. No reason to believe anything he says.

Theres a post above that says $180,000 for an accelerated BSN. I sincerely doubt MSN students are worried about access to the sim lab.

Yeah, well, it’s all loans and gifts anyway, right? pro-tip: if you need a briefcase full of $20’s to pay for one semester of nursing school, you’re probably paying too much to qualify for a job that requires you to deal with bodily fluid...

Getting the first (decent) job as an ADN was hard. With a couple years of experience, the doors opened up for me. I think the biggest thing that opens doors is the attitude that you present - my goal with my first nursing job was to ensure that I ...

My ADN program was evenly split between LPN’s and Medics “bridging” to RN.. Much respect to the medics - they had an easy time with some of the things the lpn’s struggled with (cardiac rhythms!), and had to fight through the structure of th...

Less anonymous isn’t always a good thing. There was a conversation in the “off topic” lounge recently where a couple of “new” members here were trying to say that those who disagreed with them were “racist”, and were pretty openly threatening to dox...

I suspect the concern is saline vs actual blood coming back into the body & the possibility of flash pulmonary edema (with what could be effectively - a saline bolus if you weren’t watching carefully).. Healthy people can often take a liter at 9...

Worse yet are the systems with “hard stops” built in, so you have to click a box and type a password if you clicked that box. That’s a fine setting if it happens once or twice a day, but typing 50 or a hundred *extra* passwords doesn’t increase pati...

Whilst everyone here is attacking each other, those with actual power are consolidating that power and getting even richer. https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/how-americas-largest-local-tv-owner-turned-its-news-anc-1824233490 wa...

LOL. ten years in the joint, white dude with a shaved head - and you think he’s a “racial justice crusader”? Somehow, I think a lot more comes out about him over time, and I doubt he was “woke”.

https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/alleged-kenosha-shooters-lawyer-claims-self-defense-amid-new-video/ Like that white vigilante? The one with the conviction for carrying a piece while drunk?

peace-loving fella. Right up there with ghandi. Roaming the streets after ten years in the joint.

this wasn’t a play riot, and the guys with long guns weren’t “play” policing. look at how the cops extracted “lefty” above - those are tactics that the armed forces use in foreign countries. The cops were in armored vehicles blocks away from where ...

Yes, unfortunately I believe they will pass laws that will indemnify drivers for mowing down “protesters” who block public roads without a permit - this is no different than the laws passed in California banning to “open carry” of long guns after the...

Yeah, the keyword here being “peaceful” .. The people who got shot in Kenosha weren’t peaceful, and they all had criminal records. Even calling them “protestors” is quite a stretch- was any of them carrying a sign? BLM’s tactics to da...

If that’s the mindset of BLM, see how long it takes before we get some “mow them down” laws for people intentionally blocking public roads.
