    Interview discrimination?

    They can't hire you with an inactive licence. I appreciate that you're taking the refresher and retaking the NCLEX, but until those are done you're not an active nurse. I really don't think any...

    OTC Meds Given Without Written Consent

    I wouldn't give ibuprofen for anxiety.. I've never heard that. Sounds like mom gives medication for a placebo effect when child doesn't feel well or has a complaint? Even with standing orders,...

    How much I pick up affects my yearly evaluation?

    I find that managers like to find SOMETHING that can be approved upon. It sounds like you had a near perfect eval, and the only thing she could bring up was your not picking up extra shifts... which...

  19. I know this is an old post, but the reason you have to retake the entire program is likely because the nursing courses are all over 5 years old. I don't think any program will transfer those credits....

    Cheating Classmates

    I'm not sure people who get all the answers to the questions throughout nursing school are going to necessarily be able to pass the NCLEX. Some might slide through but not
  22. I've known some nursing homes to have non-nurse directors of nursing, so I think that a company can't appoint a supervisor no matter what their credentials. However, if you feel they're asking you to...
