  1. Is this legal? What can we do?

    rjflyn replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Personally i'd let my feet do my talking, there is too much of a shortage of health care workers- ie not just nurses. I wouldnt put up with anyones BS, and if its a small place and enough of you feel...

  2. BNE background checks

    rjflyn replied to superpotato's topic in Texas Nursing

    Id also speak with the lawyer that handled that case for you . Typically from what I have read and seen on the news a deffered judgement means ones record is wiped clean if one meets the terms of the...

  4. Nursing Entrance Test, Whats the best way to Prepare?

    rjflyn replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Students

    It all depends on what test you have to take as well. I had to take the CQT test. Had very little to do with nursing- was basicly a general education test.

  5. Need info

    rjflyn replied to justint's topic in Emergency

    As a paramedic for 10 years and now a RN for the last 7 i'd say ditto to the above. Most of my cohorts above could attest that most of us would be totally bored to death if we worked med/surg- just...

  7. I am seroiusly considering getting the hell out of health care

    rjflyn replied to warrior woman's topic in General Nursing

    rjflyn replied to Hopegirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  11. Health Care Proxy question

    rjflyn replied to lsyorke's topic in General Nursing

  13. 8:1 ratios in the ER???

    rjflyn replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in Emergency

    Makes me wonder what California's ratio law has them seeing and taking care of. Where I work its typically 4 per nurse at the most. Personally it should be based on acuity. If one has a level 1 pt it...

    rjflyn replied to Lalage's topic in General Nursing

  18. Scared of NCLEX

    rjflyn replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    rjflyn replied to prettypaws's topic in General Nursing
