  1. Is there a website to find out about a Revoked license?

    RN4NICU replied to RN2BinPA's topic in General Nursing

    For PA, you have to have a username and password to access the licensure verification feature. I wish all states did this. If you want to see BON actions, you can look through each month (so the...

  2. Nurses leaving in droves...

    RN4NICU replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wild animals take better care of their own than nurses do - THAT is what makes me hate

  3. Nurses leaving in droves...

    RN4NICU replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is the "sunshine state" because sunshine seems to be some sort of magical currency there. Hospitals pay nurses with it, but nurses can't pay their bills with it. 'Sup with that?? What's...

  4. What do you HATE to do at work?

    RN4NICU replied to mickeymouse1205's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree with you on that one. The thought of breathing through my mouth around bad odors always just grossed me

  5. Nurses leaving in droves...

    RN4NICU replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would worry about my license practicing nursing off the clock. I am not sure your (or the hospital's) malpractice insurance will cover you if you do that. Not to mention the fact that requiring...

  6. Of blown pupils and brain waves

    RN4NICU replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Apnea testing

  7. Having to work Holidays:(

    RN4NICU replied to altomga's topic in General Nursing

    Just dandy unless you have family out of town that you want to visit. Just as bad are the places that make you work part of every holiday - eve of this one, night of the next one, eve of the...

  8. Concerned about GPA policies on prospective Nursing schools

    RN4NICU replied to Ms. La Mirada's topic in General Nursing

    Some schools do not replace the F with the A, but rather average the 2 grades to result in a net of a C or 2.0 - it sounds like this is what happened in the OP's

  9. Better Ratios at the Daycare!!!

    RN4NICU replied to TiffyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree. On the floor, the parents are there and provide most of the care - not so in NICU, especially at night - they aren't even there to help hold/feed. Also, complications such as NEC are...

  10. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    RN4NICU replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Terms of endearment are not the issue at all. It is the unreasonable expectations that come along with nurses being viewed as "angels" - that we "answer a higher calling", should always be selfless...

  11. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    RN4NICU replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    It would be nice if the general public would get a clue and join us here in the 21st century wouldn't it? I have never had ANY desire to be like Flo. I have never had ANY desire to make my career the...

  12. Better Ratios at the Daycare!!!

    RN4NICU replied to TiffyRN's topic in General Nursing

    One provider per 4 infants is a minimum ratio for daycare according to state law, where I live. That said, I have also seen 4 feeder/growers per nurse becoming more common in our NICU (I would not...

  13. Should Pts. see ALL information in an Adverse Event?

    RN4NICU replied to UM Review RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is a bad idea on so many levels, it serves to prove how truly short-sighted people can be. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Nurses are leaving the profession due to...

  14. Preceptor

    RN4NICU replied to RnAngl's topic in General Nursing

    from your listed interests, I would suggest 1 - L&D - you could decide from there if you liked the labor and delivery aspect, or if you would prefer to work with the moms and their babies. 2 -...

  16. Medical Asst vs Nurse

    RN4NICU replied to kellisdomain's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm...I wonder where they get that, as it is not reflected in the Indiana administrative code. Indiana code states that candidates shall not be licensed until they pass the licensing examination...

  18. Medical Asst vs Nurse

    RN4NICU replied to kellisdomain's topic in General Nursing

    Licensed by whom? It sure won't be by the board of nursing. This "department head" sounds like he/she is either blowing smoke or does not have a clue. State law regulates scope of practice in...

  19. Medical Asst vs Nurse

    RN4NICU replied to kellisdomain's topic in General Nursing

    Same goes for any profession that requires a license, so its not really

  20. Medical Asst vs Nurse

    RN4NICU replied to kellisdomain's topic in General Nursing

    The state board and the university are in no way related to one another. One cannot take away what the other has granted. Once any college degree is awarded it cannot be taken away, unless the...

  21. I think nursing school is getting to me...

    RN4NICU replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Now THAT is what I call an air leak!

  22. Press-Ganey

    RN4NICU replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    my thoughts are pretty predictable Press-ganey and their asinine surveys are the most ridiculous waste of time and resources to darken the door of healthcare in a VERY long

  25. what to look for in 1st job as BSN

    RN4NICU replied to SpecFuz's topic in General Nursing

    Terribly simplified (and for lack of a better way to explain it). Med surg is the patients in the hospital (not outpatients - just there for tests, etc.) that are not in a specialty area. Specialty...
