    Today a patient asked, "Do you know Jesus?"

    KelRN215 replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's how I look at it. I've been told I'm going to Hell for about a million different reasons and I always say, hey if Heaven is filled with the likes of Mitt Romney and Fred Phelps, I'll take Hell...

    When I worked in the hospital, they did nothing. If you didn't scan a high enough percentage of your meds, your name got highlighted and posted in the nurses' room though saying that you weren't good...

    Getting licensed in another state after surrender

    Information about nursing licenses is public record. If you answer no and the Florida board finds out the truth, my best guess is they would deny you a

    Why didn't you hire me?

    KelRN215 replied to yesterday's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The most likely reason is because there was someone better suited for the position. It's not necessarily saying that there's anything wrong with

    I understood what you meant... that's how I felt about seeing ECT when I was in my psych clinical. Seeing it did actually change my perception of it

    Another thing to consider is that, in most hospitals, a job offer would come from HR anyway, not the Nurse Manager. So perhaps the NM had to refer your follow-up email to

    KelRN215 replied to mom2jimmyc's topic in Home Health

    Actually, I would say that is because A) G-tube cases get way fewer hours than trach/vent cases and B) there are more nurses out there with G-tube experience than there are with

    Trach/Vent child needs nursing coverage

    KelRN215 replied to mom2jimmyc's topic in Home Health

    It is not dependent on the acuity of the case. It is a flat rate. There is one rate for RNs and another for LPNs. I do not know what it is for the agency you get services from, it would vary by...
