  1. How to File a Complaint against BON

    Horseshoe replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, I do always check to see if they have renewed my license after sending in

  2. Resume question - leaving job after 8 months

    Horseshoe replied to MollyMarvolo's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot claim the entire time worked at the urgent care center as nursing experience. You can only claim time worked with a nursing license as "nursing experience." Be sure to correctly state that...

  3. How to File a Complaint against BON

    Horseshoe replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You should make it your BUSINESS to know when your license expires. As someone whose license expired because I wasn't notified, I still admit that it WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY to know when my license...

  4. That Nurse

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, that probably includes YOU,

  5. hiring pregnant RN

    Horseshoe replied to ap2409's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. It is ILLEGAL to discriminate in hiring against a woman for being pregnant. I'm sure it happens all the time, but at least they come up with non illegal reasons for not hiring! If you have this...

  6. How to balance HIPAA with good manners

    Horseshoe replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in General Nursing

    "The intricacies of HIPAA" do not dictate that you cannot acknowledge the presence of someone you know in "real life" when you run into them where they are seeking care. It simply means you cannot...

  7. That Nurse

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So it's either say what you want to hear, or don't comment? Why post on this website if you are going to try to dictate the content of the responses? AN is based on the whole concept of posters...

  8. Vaccines Required for Nursing School

    Horseshoe replied to Dahlia1694's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, the good news is that MMR is a combined vaccine, so that takes care of three of them. And the tuberculosis is a skin test, not a vaccine. So you really don't have as many as it may seem at...

  9. Peripheral Neuropathy

    Horseshoe replied to StrawberryEllieBean's topic in General Nursing

    DH has it from chemotherapy. Diabetics get

  10. Who needs a bigger pat on the back?

    Horseshoe replied to bossman's topic in General Nursing

    How would you know? You a member of every engineering and professional chemist message board? Or you just basing that on how many engineers and chemists post on

  11. Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    Horseshoe replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    In order to register at the disabilities office, a person must have documentation of a diagnosed disability. IIRC, the OP's friend has not been diagnosed with

  12. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    Horseshoe replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    For $585K profit, I didn't mind calling someone to fix things that went wrong (I'm no handyman, nor is DH really). Scheduling and paying for home maintenance can take a little time, but at the end of...

  13. How to File a Complaint against BON

    Horseshoe replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I didn't say a state senator wouldn't help a person with a legitimate issue with the BON. I don't believe for a second they will get involved over someone's subjective opinion that an employee is...

  14. Seriously?? Small rant.

    Horseshoe replied to DelaneyB's topic in General Nursing

    If she was representing herself or being represented as a "school nurse," the district was very likely breaking the law, as "nurse" is a legally protected title in most

  15. Seriously?? Small rant.

    Horseshoe replied to DelaneyB's topic in General Nursing

    That seems hard to believe, as in most states the title of "nurse" is a legally protected title (which means it is ILLEGAL to represents oneself as a nurse without holding a nursing license). This is...

  16. Dear Abby and social induction of pregnancy

    Horseshoe replied to teacupRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Her daughter is now writing Dear Abbey

  17. Seriously?? Small rant.

    Horseshoe replied to DelaneyB's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to excuse your ignorance about what it takes to get through nursing school, pass NCLEX, and work as a nurse. You obviously don't know what you don't know. But perhaps you can understand...

  18. Feeling micromanaged...

    Horseshoe replied to n1wgmp's topic in General Nursing

    Bold is mine. Those don't sound like "extras" to me indicative of perfectionism. They sound like ordinary things that should be done without question. And as to the white boards: your patient who is...

  19. Did I make a violation?

    Horseshoe replied to CupcakeHead's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are okay, but in the future, resist the urge to put anything at all about your patients on the internet. The benefit of doing so (and I really don't understand this tendency to put one's...

  20. Took the test 4 weeks ago but I have not received any letter saying if I passed or failed!

    Horseshoe replied to jahnjermaine's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Have you gone to your state BON website and checked to see if you are on file as having a nursing

  21. Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    Horseshoe replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    When we are on duty, we are being paid to see to the needs of not only our own patients, but to the unit as a whole. We are expected to help our patients, our coworkers, and visitors to our units, to...

  22. Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    Horseshoe replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    You have got to be kidding. I'm sorry, but I could not disagree more with this post. The OP has taken time to try to help her friend. But she cannot DO IT FOR

  23. What sort of physical labour do nurses do?

    Horseshoe replied to kater_92's topic in General Nursing

    I no longer have to lift patients, but I do have to wash and make the beds after I discharge my patients (except on the rare occasion I have an aide to help me). Then I have to transport the bed back...

  24. How to File a Complaint against BON

    Horseshoe replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Right. A state senator is going to take the time to get a BON employee fired because a nurse claims that person was

  25. Is there a law on minimum hours for PRN employees

    Horseshoe replied to Maustin89's topic in General Nursing

    At first, I thought you were asking if there was a legal requirement for how many hours one must work PRN in order to keep your license active. But now I realize you are asking if there is a law...
