  1. Two-Headed Snake Bully Nurse

    42pines replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in General Nursing

    There is no such thing as an anonymous text. In most states (state law is pertinent) harassment is a crime. In some cases even one nasty text, if it should interfere with your career, for instance,...

  2. Job searching while under investigation

    42pines replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have used [email protected] and allisontaylor.com over the past decade. https://www.checkyourreference.com/reference-checking-services-for-job-seekers/ They were not that...

  3. Fact or Fiction? Masking and CO2 Dangers

    42pines replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    A bit of fact and a bit of fiction. Depending upon the type of mask you have greater resistance to inhalation/exhalation. There is also a certain amount of “dead space,” in which air...

  4. I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    42pines posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been under investigation for twenty months by my State Board of Nursing for twenty-four itemized complaints. One day at 5pm I was abruptly fired. No explanation was given. There had been no...

  5. I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    42pines replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    My goal has been achieved. NH BON dismissed "the complaint." (Note: The complaint was two letter of complaints with over 30 itemized complaints). See attached image at bottom. I'm happy to share...

    42pines replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    I got kicked out of my BSN because I had 31 complaints, it's that simple. The college determined that I could not be allowed to complete the Capstone with the complaints pending. And pray tell,...

  7. Covid Vaccine Given Too High On Arm

    42pines replied to andrusia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Actually, recently, I thought the same, however, an accidental sq still will produce adequate antibodies, just as an FYI. For a neat article on it read: 1) mRNA Vaccines: What Happens...

  8. Covid Vaccine Given Too High On Arm

    42pines replied to andrusia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Good point, however, I'd say "blame Walgreens" for they are the person who hired the "injector." They are the ones who are responsible for competency and are required to have employees prove...

  9. I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    42pines replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    And just maybe you are jumping to conclusions. Consider that I have been thrown out of my BSN program with only a capstone to go, because of the complaints. Loss of my educational goals,...

  10. ADN or BSN?

    42pines replied to Unsuregirl101's topic in General Nursing

    A wise decision! Normally I'd have said "go for the ADN," and let your employer pay for the next two years to get the BSN. However, you wrote: "I get super anxious and have really bad test...

    Would admin please PM

    42pines replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    Oddly, I haven't received notifications that there were responses to my thread. I just came here to post an article which admin may or may not accept. It will be my second article. For those...

    42pines replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    @Susie2310 I'll agree, and I'll disagree. Rather than reiterate my grounds, I'll use the following sources. As you can see, by these two sources, it is a privilege, and it is also a right, and it...

    42pines replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    @rzyzzy You seem to have a progressive BON. Anyone with half a brain can see that what I'm going through is a witch hunt. The problem is that nobody on the BON has bothered to fully read my answer...

    42pines replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks @rzyzzy I now realize that since the majority agree with you I should have done just that and now, that's what I'm doing. Still, I've checked and my target state will tell any employer (and...

  16. I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    42pines replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    @hannabanana Yes, I intend to continue nursing. I have only a Capstone course to finish a BSN (with a cum 3.9+) and expect to move on to attain a Master's. I'm curious, why "pro counseling?"...

    @magellanA student, applying for a license is entirely different from checking an existing license. Yes, it takes a long time for BON to process and complete the RN, or other nurse license....

    42pines replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    @magellan Bravo! You hit the nail on the head. You win a stuffed bear. The equation is all wrong. You see this, and others here see this, and so would the BON if they actually read both the...

    42pines replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    @TheMoonisMyLantern Technically, you are correct. Searching for “can your nursing license be checked for pending complaints” It did not take long to find, the answer, at least in some...

    42pines replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    @susie2310 I agree with you. However, you and I are a minority. For 22 months I have abided and shared the pending investigation. Last week though, the investigator from the Attorney General's...

    42pines replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    The reality is that I shall get out of it with license intact. Consider, no harm. No complaint by patient or family. No allegation of negligence, no medication error of any significance, no drugs,...

    Ha! You were young then Davey, you've learned not to say things to hastily these days, not that it matters, since you're retired. It does sound similar. In this case I believe that the...

    42pines replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    @TheMoonisMyLantern Interestingly there are "two" employers, since I was contracted. My contract employer sold me to the entity that owned the place I worked for. More interestingly neither was...

    Leader25, if I discussed identifiable facts, yes, there could be an issue, however, you can't even figure out where I am. I'm careful with what I say for now. "Speak with BON as to what you are...

    Nope, nobody died. No patient, nor family had any complaint. And no, Davey Do, I'm not a troll, which you can see if you look at my record here. @Hoosier_RN You wrote: "I've filled out...
