    PHNs at the Health Dept...please read

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Public, Community Health

    Okay. Thanks. I had an interview...wasn't so great. Don't really expect a call back, but was just wondering in case. Waiting for decision for grad school--depending on that result, I may have to move....

    Transfer from VA to NY

    wish_me_luck replied to Shanellnaz's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That can't be true because NCLEX is a national exam. You would have to obtain a NY license and relinquish your (possible) VA one. Take the NCLEX now while it is fresh in your mind--if you are going to...

    New Nurse - Job Offer Pickle

    wish_me_luck replied to ambellina's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with the poster who said if you do not need immediate work; then, hold out for your dream job. I think it looks bad too when you leave soon after getting the job. You do have to wonder if...

    Texas BON for bipolar disorder

    wish_me_luck replied to bella_'s topic in Nurse Disabilities

    If you have been treated for or diagnosed with mental illness in the last 5 years, you have to disclose on the application for license. Texas' question is straight forward. No, you can't claim it's a...

    Getting into nursing school with a mental illness? Is it going to be possible?

    wish_me_luck replied to lntm2925's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    PCP had no idea that psychiatrist said I didn't need it. For a long time, I still took the medication; but, after psychiatrists consistently/constantly telling me I don't need it--I stopped. I don't...

    transferring diversion programs?

    wish_me_luck replied to NYCRN82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know in VA, if you leave the program and go to the new state you have to contend with the following: 1) You may not be let out of HPMP (some people have actually had to contend with two programs...

    Any Other Master of Public Health (MPH) Hopefuls?

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello! I was wondering if anyone else put in applications to schools for a Master of Public Health. If you did, where did you apply; what concentration did you pick; and what are some of your goals...

    Working with a nurse who isn't allowed to admin narcotics?

    wish_me_luck replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Here's how someone explained it to me--if you are an RN and an LPN gives your oral narcotic, then you go do their IV things for them (sans PCA pump or any narcotic); you get your supervisor or upper...

    Virginia Monitoring Program

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    IFC is an informal conference (it's a meeting with 3 people made up of staff and Board members). It's informal in that it's a smaller group of people versus a Formal Hearing, which is a full Board. I...

    Virginia Monitoring Program

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We cannot give legal advice. The job thing depends where you live and ultimately, the employer. I have to disagree about the LPN thing as far as market ability. Have you decided to do HPMP or are you...

    wish_me_luck replied to 1999nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hopper, what state are you in? I only ask because you say HPMP. In some states that is the name of their monitoring program and other times, people just use that as an abbreviation for any monitoring...

    Considering Becoming an RN

    wish_me_luck replied to JimboWalls's topic in Nursing Career

    I will be honest. I voted don't do it. The reasons you cited for doing it are not enough and the 3 12 hour shifts reason is somewhat off. Yes, nurses generally work 3 12 hour shifts; however, it can...

    wish_me_luck replied to Bailey246's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you thought about doing clinical (or teaching lecture) for nursing programs? Many nursing programs look long and hard for clinical instructors. So, you would be still in a clinical setting; but...

    When to quit non-nursing job, now that I have been accepted into BSN program?.

    wish_me_luck replied to Tally4970's topic in Nursing Career

    Tally, they will tell you whatever it takes to get you to go through their program--it's money for them. They are a business. I knew a girl that told me something very similar to what you said (I had...
