    Giving the license up

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just feel like no one at the Board cares that I have changed. I have not drank in 7 months and 23 days. I haven't had an urges to lately either. I want to actually get my life back on track, but I...

    Giving the license up

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't know, that's why I am going to find out the details first. I am exhausted. I don't want to move, but I feel like I am spending way too much time begging. I think it is sad because I disclosed...

    Do nurses help preterm babies to exhale?

    wish_me_luck replied to leekm's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My apologies, Matt. My point is that a person is not physically doing anything to get a baby or adult to exhale. It just happens. Exhaling with a mechanical vent is the same process as when a person...

    Do nurses help preterm babies to exhale?

    wish_me_luck replied to leekm's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    No, nurses don't help them exhale. It's a natural process/gravity. It's the same thing with CPR. Do you help the patient exhale then? The answer is no. Same thing with

    Personal Statement Requested to Register because of Depression/Anxiety -- Help?

    wish_me_luck replied to ChicagoMay's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    No, there's a compact license, but I am in a monitoring program due to my mental illness (and self medicating with alcohol). So, since I am in a monitoring program, I have a single state license...

    Personal Statement Requested to Register because of Depression/Anxiety -- Help?

    wish_me_luck replied to ChicagoMay's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    My letter from my psychiatrist was so generic, Chicago. More than half of it ended up not applying to me, yet there's still that stigma. He met me once for an initial assessment, wrote in the letter...

    Personal Statement Requested to Register because of Depression/Anxiety -- Help?

    wish_me_luck replied to ChicagoMay's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Viva, I had to send a personal statement as well. I just told them who I was and why I am writing and some background info on the situation and myself (i.e. I graduated with a BSN in 2012, etc.) and...

    Washington state to make Medical Assistants work under RN license?

    wish_me_luck replied to Psychtrish39's topic in General Nursing

    No way! They are trying to make money off this and cheapen the labor market. The problem is, if nurses have to oversee the MA, then why would they want to do that? Nurses are capable of starting and...

    Sponsor relapsed

    wish_me_luck replied to TorsadesRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am one of the youngest, if not the youngest, in my group--both Caduceus and AA (both women and co-ed). You know, I will say the thing that I get tired of, especially with co-ed AA, is the same topic...

    wish_me_luck replied to TorsadesRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Boston, I found it easier to identify with my Caduceus people and then, my womens' AA meeting the best. I don't get much out of the co-ed meetings. I mean, I know you are a guy, but I notice that...

    wish_me_luck replied to TorsadesRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree relapse isn't a requirement...I don't know if that group is a generic NA group or healthcare provider related one, but if it's generic, then they don't seem to understand that nurses (and...

    Hello! So, my case manager told me December is the magical month to be able to look for work. I am looking on the other side of the line for a job, so two prayers needed... 1) That I am approved by my...

    Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    wish_me_luck replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    This notion makes me extremely angry as well. I have not gotten my first job yet, but right after I graduated, I met a student who was getting ready to start nursing school and she said that her...

    Thanks. The issue is that most of our health care facilities are in TN. I just happen to live on the VA side. Do you live on the border/stateline in WV? That's my big issue. Truth be told, I used to...

    I have to move, no choice. The other state didn't approve and it's their policy not to grant any license, compact privilege, or special authorization to any nurse in a monitoring program. Don't...

    Best teaching hospitals for new grads (peds)

    Big cities, but even just finding a level 1 hospital is fine. When I read this, I found it slightly disheartening that nurses and doctors are encouraging you to look elsewhere from your current...

    If you could pick your ideal job in nursing, what would it be?

    My dream job would involve so many aspects that it would take a while. For starters, public health nurse at the health dept. Also, do as needed mental health nursing. Then, get my MPH in epidemiology...
