  1. I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    If the board has NOT already decided on your case, and there no documents visible about your license on their website, then no I would not disclose. You are innocent until proven guilty and if these...

  2. Out of My Element Again

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    It's okay to be confident but arrogance is very observable and very off putting especially to your clinical staff. I may catch flack for saying this, and I mean no offense towards those in management,...

  3. Sucky day + unsupportive spouse

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Emergency

    If my spouse said that to me, I would be very hurt and very angry. Marriage is a partnership, you're sharing your lives together, work is a part of life. Some couples have time limits on "work talk",...

  4. COVID pay in correctional facility

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to ColtonsGma's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Part time employees where I work weren't eligible for covid pay either, which sucks. As far as refusing COVID units I guess you can refuse, people have refused at my facility with a wide range of...

  5. Transitioning from shift work to skilled visits.

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to guest1143647's topic in Home Health

    I did skilled visits as an LPN years ago. The skillset is rather broad and does include foleys, IV's, IM's, central line management, lab draws. There is a LOT of wound care and disease/medication...

  7. Just lost and need career advice

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    I find your journey impressive! It can be very hard to break into acute care in certain parts of the country. California and New York both seem to have very competitive markets and it can be extremely...

  8. Presenting Hospital work I.D. as a Patient or Visitor. Any thoughts?

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to erwindt's topic in General Nursing

    I've had both good and bad experiences with taking care of healthcare providers or patients that had family members that were in healthcare. I don't get bothered by it, they get the same quality of...

  9. OK, what are you supposed to be doing instead of being in here?

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to JBudd's topic in General Nursing

  10. Getting off the "do not hire" list?

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

    No disrespect to you or your father. I just don't see the point of pursuing legal action against the company. If it's a large hospital system, their legal team is likely going to be able to bury any...

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    So the multiple Evangelical endorsements of Trump over the past four years, Trump pandered to the Republican party's social issues his entire term. Can you really tell me that you don't think the...

  16. Thousands of US healthcare workers have died fighting Covid-19, most are Nurses

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

  18. Any RNFA programs that utilize Financial Aid?

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Rebecca Nes's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding for FAFSA is that non degree seeking students are ineligible for financial aid, which includes certification programs. It's a sucky

  19. Pelosi Blasts GOP Leadership's Underreaction To Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Remarks

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

  22. Personal Life Affecting Work Life

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Newnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to macleod340's topic in Disaster Preparation
