    Will a failed drug test in the Military prevent me from getting licensed?

    tyvin replied to AlexiF's topic in General Nursing

    Good question...I would think that the first hurdle would be to get admitted to an RN program that's accredited (or are you already licensed). It's my understanding from reading the posts on this site...

    BSN examinations post-graduation?

    tyvin replied to hbrice321's topic in General Nursing

    Same test...ADN or BSN. If you have your RN license, then that's it. The higher degree will open many doors for you. My program required the ADNs to have an RN license in order to come on board in...

    What Do You Do When Co-Worker Falls Asleep on Night Shift?

    tyvin replied to NightNerd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe...hmmm. I don't have the time to read every post. I went by your title. Perhaps "continually" falls asleep...:) I want to stress the need for you people to write up nurses if you want action....

    When is it time to leave...?

    tyvin replied to DiplomaNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    With my experience the older nurses are the sharp ones. Perhaps your assessment skills can tell you what's really going on with this person. As nurses we are trained to recognize changes in behavior....

    tyvin replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    My goodness; I kind of fooled around after I graduated and moved back home and took my old fine dining job back (making big bucks). It was a year later that I finally realized I had better get my butt...

    What Do You Do When Co-Worker Falls Asleep on Night Shift?

    tyvin replied to NightNerd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know it's really simple...WAKE THEM UP! What's wrong with some of you " turn them in;" I bet you're a riot at parties. You sound a little introverted to be an RN (please excuse that statement...

    I didn't become a nurse to feed people's addictions. Do *nurses* have the right to refuse

    tyvin replied to Thankgodforativan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You didn't like what you heard so now you're done. If you really feel this way why in the world are you working there? People have no idea how their nonverbal behavior affects people around them. I...

    HELP - falsely accused for diversion of meds

    tyvin replied to aberg22's topic in General Nursing

    Make no mistake, this is a serious hit to your career. What does the lawyer say? Stick with the legal aspect of this. Nurses think their jobs have their backs; not so much in my experience. The...

    To Tell or Not To Tell

    tyvin replied to MiAmorPickles's topic in General Nursing

    "If" I actually believed everything I was told or heard (here say) and reported it, I would never have time for work. Take no heed to gossip. Stop people before they spill crap. Reminds me of the...

    Anyone unsuccessful in nursing school but excel as a nurse??

    tyvin replied to Jess__'s topic in General Students

    My thing is if you're taking notes you can't listen to what is being said. Research shows you must hear something 3 times in order to fully understand (RN 3 count meds). I taped my lectures and...

    PCT - was told I'm fired

    tyvin replied to Loveeea's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Are you sure it wasn't the 90 day evaluation period to see if you're a good fit, or if they want you to fit? I believe you were let go because they didn't consider you a good fit. That's why you are...

    It's not the board of nursing who will expunge whatever. Research and call and find out if you can expunge it. Then just do it. ExpungEmEnt - Maryland

    That's nice. Sounds like you got it figured out. Since you've been keeping up your dues, etc...on your compact license, I don't see a problem endorsing your license over to where you might be moving....

    You Don't Really Need Chemistry For Nursing, Do You?

    tyvin replied to smalli's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was required to do organic, inorganic, and biochemistry. I was a late bloomer, so that no school creds could be used. I wish I had taken chemistry before I took nutrition. I had to sit up at night...
