    diva rn replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in General Nursing

    BRAVOs...when KUDOS are just not

  2. Issues @ work with coworker

    diva rn replied to SDALPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Cali, this is absolutely true for the Florida IPN, I would suspect it true of others as well. However, we don't know if she is in a program--yet!...I would imagine-if this state is anything at all...

  3. Issues @ work with coworker

    diva rn replied to SDALPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually, if the drug charges were 10 years ago, she could have been in a program and completed it, it's usually around 5years..so that may be irrelavent now, but still, the DUI is a big thing. She...

  4. Issues @ work with coworker

    diva rn replied to SDALPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, let the BON do it's thing. I don't think it will take too long once they find out about the DUI, did you mention the drug felony as

  5. Issues @ work with coworker

    diva rn replied to SDALPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't worry, the BON would find out sooner or later. You can not hide these issues forever. How long ago were the drug charges? Actually, she may BE in the alternative program, it's confidential,...

  6. Issues @ work with coworker

    diva rn replied to SDALPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Then I would report her to the BON. I guess you don't have an Intervention program or this chick would have to be in it. She needs to be stopped-for her own good. It sounds like she is playing fast...

  7. Issues @ work with coworker

    diva rn replied to SDALPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Interesting...go to your BON website and do a license "look up"...it's all public record...you don't need her license number, you just need to put in her name, just see if her nursing license is "free...

  8. Issues @ work with coworker

    diva rn replied to SDALPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I understand your concern. That agency needs to know this information though. Actually, so does the state board, and most likely will in time...it will be reported...at least in Florida all DUI's are...

  9. ny to fla!!

    diva rn replied to ccaiazza's topic in Florida Nursing

    Right, be prepared for a big shock. I am not sure about Largo. In Palm Beach County the jobs for RNs are very, very tight. Are you still a LPN? The hospitals here have all but phased out lpns and do...

  12. Is there ever a time where it's okay to give up on nursing?

    diva rn replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    Right, that's the point, be in debt to the tune of say, $40,000 and not have a job, or no debt and still not have a job...nursing is a tough profession to get into right now. If she has other...

    You go girl...all of you should walk...all at once...en mass! I am sure this is against all labor laws as has been posted. So, I would be reporting this facility Monday morning first thing. and by the...

    diva rn replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in General Nursing

    diva rn replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    But unfortunately I am sure that yercy121 does not understand this

  18. He// to the NO!

    diva rn replied to FLmomof5's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this is a hospital....it sounds like some sort of LTC with an acute/subcute rehab side..she mentioned only having 1 RN in the building....that wouldn't be a hospital....also NO acute...

    diva rn replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in General Nursing

  23. Saline flush without a physician order?

    diva rn replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in General Nursing

    Again, it should be written with the saline lock order or your unit should have standing ORDERS...not just policies...which you seem to be rather hung up on....are you a nurse yet????? If you are,...

  24. Saline flush without a physician order?

    diva rn replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in General Nursing

    That should be written as part of the saline lock order when it was given. Our PICU had standing orders for this, I imagine other floors do as
