    Medication test temple hospital

    tyvin replied to Open mind's topic in General Nursing

    tyvin replied to nekoneko's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Now this is good advice. You are a new grad. Are there lots of new grad jobs in your area? I started the same way to get my foot in the door, but I worked as a CNA with an RN license (tough...

    Reading recent posts; Is it THAT easy to lose your job/license/get reported ?

    tyvin replied to DahliaDaisy's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you well. All the posts so far; nice, but the real truth lies in between. My college experience was great and when a mistake happened it was the clinical instructor who got the blame as I was a...

    tyvin replied to Nurse20112017's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I believe you are eligible for unemployment IMO. Apply: they will fight it; an investigation will be initiated. If the patient wasn't harmed, why are they doing this? Doesn't sound right, and when it...

    Am I too old to become an RN??

    tyvin replied to bananerz84's topic in LPN to RN

    I would add to the overwhelming "You're not to old" that you should get your BSN. Don't fool around with the associates. It's just a couple more years and well worth it. I started late: older than...

    PreTrial Diversion

    tyvin replied to NurseM718's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Nolle Prosequi doesn't mean they dropped your charges; they decided to not prosecute you further. The latin term you describe is used in states that dismiss the cases which is not the same as dropping...

    2 misdemeanor convictions both 7 yrs old, will Ca BON even consider me for testing?

    tyvin replied to Andirose111's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    There is no way you will ever get employment in the healthcare field with those convictions. It's like a sex offender, the circumstances don't matter if you were an 18 year old with a younger...

    No way....over the top...nursing has turned into an unrecognizeable bureaucratic mess... By nature patients are often complaint magnets and people just like to gossip. I can see the writng on the...

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    tyvin replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    You and the rest of your colleagues have rights as well. Too often people don't seek the legal option. It's a far better choice than suffering in silence. Research this stuff online under ADA...

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    tyvin replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse did not walk in to the job and simply get an accomadation. It's a legal term. It involves ADA rules and legal manuevring. There is a legal reason that she can't work Saturdays. I wonder how...
