  1. Who oversees MD BON?

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    When you have dealt with MD BON for well over 2 months and have received no response from them, who are they responsible to? Thanks

  2. Who oversees MD BON?

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Aurora Guess what? When I went to the site for Health and Mental Hygiene I found another number that I was able to reach the BON that IS NOT posted on the MD BON website. I called and got a number...

  3. Do You Believe Nurses Are Much More In Demand Than Doctors

    ZZTopRN replied to NURSE LAWYER's topic in General Nursing

    [quote=NURSE LAWYER It is interesting that you ask for help here but do not contribute

  4. Who oversees MD BON?

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hi Emily, just posted before I read your post. That is very nice of you to offer to help, but I just can't think of anything you coud do at the BON. So where are you going in California? Is it a...

  5. Who oversees MD BON?

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I called information for Donna Dorsey, Director of the MD BON. Got a mechanical voice "leave a message" so can't be sure it was her phone. I'l give it a while and then if I don't get an answer, I...

  6. Who oversees MD BON?

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hey, Thanks for the info. But how would you call Donna Dorsey at home? I guess it would be easy enough to get in touch with Barbara Mikulski. Also I live in California which is making it difficult....

  7. Who oversees MD BON?

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks for your answers. I know all of this information by heart. It is under the direction of the State Health Board.

  8. Co-worker in need of prayers

    ZZTopRN replied to butterflynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I feel so bad. I have been praying for her and was hoping by this time there would have been a change for the better. Blessings to her and the kids and family.

  9. Primary nursing - what is it?

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks guys: I thought that it was probably something like you were talking about. I wonder how well it will work with psych patients in my unit who are reallly not long term patients, but are just...

  10. Primary nursing - what is it?

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am at a psych hospital and I heard the charge nurses talking about primary nursing. They don't appear to know anything about it, but someone said that it was good nursing system. Anyone know...

  11. California nurse registration

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I notice you have to go through a lot of paper work to just register for the NCLEX. I understand from the Board that you have to request or apply to take the exam four months before you can take it....

  12. Health care crisis......medical professional drive up wages

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    I made a mistake in my topic. I meant driving hospital costs up instead of driving up wages. Nurses (and other medical professionals) are not the ones that drive hospital costs up. Nurses are picked...

  13. Health care crisis......medical professional drive up wages

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am so furious. I found this article in the San Diego Union Opinions page. The artical was entitled "The Health care crisis," written by the President and Chief Executive officer of Scripps...

  14. Health care crisis......medical professional drive up wages

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lady Madonna: You put it so well, so succinctly. We would not be "overpaid" for doing what we do at $35 an hour.

  15. Health care crisis......medical professional drive up wages

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    P.S. Pay is a factor when nurses give so much and are not adequately comensated. Someone said something on this board about there not being a nursing shortage, the nurses are out there. They are...

  16. Health care crisis......medical professional drive up wages

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I said medical professionals, I was talking more to nurses. This is like saying, that the "demand pressures," nurses wanting to be paid a fair salary for their hard work is one of the reasons...

    ZZTopRN replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    's HA!! NURSE CHRIS: Now I know where you belong now that you are a nurse. What about nurse practitioner? mv

  18. Warning - Kaplan book and CD

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    If you buy the Kaplan RN review with CD, be warned that you can only use the CD twice even though you paid for it. Exchanging it won't help. They have the same test numbers in every book so you...

    ZZTopRN replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for that beautiful story.

  20. Warning - Kaplan book and CD

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    The Kaplan NCLEX-RN Exam and CD is what I am referring to, 2004-2005 Edition. This is the number I called, 1-800-533-8850, that I was told you could only use the CD 2 times. Do tune your instructors...

  21. Warning - Kaplan book and CD

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your reply. There is a thread here that gives a lot of information about different books to practice with and I will look for it and get back to you. One book I am using now is Mosby's...

  22. Kaplan CD

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can you use your Kaplan CD only twice? This is what I experienced. I called them and they said it was probably a bad CD and to return it which I did. I tried to remove the old installation but...

  23. Kaplan CD

    ZZTopRN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is outrageous! I paid $40.00 for the book and CD. You mean I paid for a CDI don't own? There are only about 180 test questions in the book which you can go through pretty quickly, and they...

  24. Anyone dealt with MD BON re: suspension

    ZZTopRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have tried since August 1st to get paperwork for rehabilitation for a suspension of my RN license in 1995. I have had one phone call returned in all that time and no emails returned. This is the...
