  1. please help

    Karl Farmer replied to Denis A's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Finding a school is easy. Finding a school with clinical sites that will allow you to practice, not so much. Obtaining a license even after all of that? I would ask you to research your slim chances,...

  2. Help, terminated and need advice

    Karl Farmer replied to RNFROMNC's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Get a nasty lawyer, file libel suit aginst the DON, the facility, and the corporate owner. First thing, she should have fired you with NO explanation, case closed. She chose to slander and libel your...

    They said do you know why you're here? I said I have no idea. -Amy

  4. Please Help...should I self report?

    Karl Farmer replied to RNism's topic in Nurses Recovery

    As far as Googling, I'm hoping really nobody in here used his or her real name? The CEO was asked yesterday about privacy on Google. His reply? "Well, I suppose if anyone is doing anything they don't...

  5. Denied CA lvn license for 2 DUI's

    Karl Farmer replied to octaviaM's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    DUI is not a business, it's a HUGE business. FACT: Because less thn 40% of DUI convicts get the court and MVD ordered breathalyzer installed, this week (bucking EVERY trend nationwide) AZ just cut the...

  7. Please Help...should I self report?

    Karl Farmer replied to RNism's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When I was in FL, the BON published all nurses addresses on the internet. Is this really the United

  8. Please Help...should I self report?

    Karl Farmer replied to RNism's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've said it before- lawyers? You can't live with them, and you can't live WITHOUT

  9. Please Help...should I self report?

    Karl Farmer replied to RNism's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In fact, I suspect BONs are sovereign entities, and that an outside lawyer has little that he can do as a result. I don't see BONs as answerable to anybody,

  10. Please Help...should I self report?

    Karl Farmer replied to RNism's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When reality is reality, it's not a matter of opinion. Sad, but

  11. Please Help...should I self report?

    Karl Farmer replied to RNism's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do not ever contact a nursing BON unless you have zero options remaining. They exist solely to seperate you from your

  12. Percocet PRN

    Karl Farmer replied to ChristineWV's topic in Patient Medications

    Your policy cannot alter a phsyician order. If it says '2 q 6' PRN, and you give '1 q 3' PRN, you are practicing medicine wihout a license, administering medication against the order on the label, and...

  13. Please Help...should I self report?

    Karl Farmer replied to RNism's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's refreshing to see some compassion in here, rather that that other offensive poster that gets off by casting stones. Nursing is awful and hard enough without some others playing the 'pious perfect...

  14. I need helping finding a nursing job that will allow me to sit once every 2-3 hours

    Karl Farmer replied to twalt500's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I hear Humana has 80,000 employees, and they all sit in front of a computer all

  15. Disciplinary action reports from BONs:

    Karl Farmer posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Do all states publish newsletters listing nurses and aides that are in trouble? AZ does a quarterly magazine, and at the back every quarter there are maybe 200 or more nurses and aides listed, with...

  16. DUI thoughts, for those who judge:

    Karl Farmer posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    In AZ it's like this- you get arrested. Maybe you hire a lawyer, and get the case dismissed. Even so- the MVD will not dismiss the charge, you will get 8 points, breathalyzer for a year, flagged DL...

  17. new nurse needs advise to deal with difficul pts

    Karl Farmer replied to topacio's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If a patient is not happy with what is prescribed, the physician is at fault for not doing his job and being professional. Shameful to let him allow a patient to walk out and take out his anger on...

  18. new nurse needs advise to deal with difficul pts

    Karl Farmer replied to topacio's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If a patient wanted an RX, and did not get it- that is certainly not the job of the nurse to placate an irate patient. The phsyician is the prescriber.

  19. new nurse needs advise to deal with difficul pts

    Karl Farmer replied to topacio's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I disagree totally. The scenario indicates that the physician was NOT forthright when he was in direct contact with the patient, which leaves the other staff to take the

  20. Disciplinary action reports from BONs:

    Karl Farmer replied to Karl Farmer's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    So is it their goal to take all licenses? Then what would they do for revenue? I'm flabbergasted at the 'witch hunt'

  21. new nurse needs advise to deal with difficul pts

    Karl Farmer replied to topacio's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is not your place to have to tell a patient what will or will not be prescibed- you are being taken advantage of, and placed in a vulnerable position (as in taking the brunt of his rage) by a lazy...

  22. I need helping finding a nursing job that will allow me to sit once every 2-3 hours

    Karl Farmer replied to twalt500's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    An MDS nurse has to travel all OVER the facility, many times a day, fetching all kinds of information. I calculated I walked 5-7 miles a day when I did MDS for years. (No nurse ever answers the phone,...

    Can you give a vague answer as to the type of what the convictions were for, out of

  25. Associates vs Bachelors Degree

    Karl Farmer replied to ysin's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So, should nursing education stop at LPN level? Already we are expected to be IV certified, which is not part of the education. So maybe every other technical aspect or skill can also be taught...
