I have an issue and would like some feedback on what others out in the nursing world think. I was licensed in California as an RN years ago when I did some travel assignements there. My Ca license expired in 2005 and I did not reactivate and have n...
Does one have to maintain an active license in their original state of licensure (RN) to obtain endorsement in other states. Example: Original state of licensure was Texas in 2009; moved to Alabama after 6 months, have active Alabama license now bu...
Why was this subject placed under Nurses with a Criminal History. There is no crime involved with this issue. I resent that you put this post under this subject. I have no history of being a criminal.
Yes they did it was a RECOVERY program for dependency on pain meds. The point I am making is that there is no reason to fine me at this point for a discipline in 2006. The recovery program has been completed. I have no affiliation with California ...
I went into the Mississippi Nurse Recovery program in 2006 and completed it in 2011. I have no affiliation with California at this time except for an expired license. I have not tried to reactivate it or anything. This legal case just came out of ...

Try working a 7 on 7 off or 5/2 split. I love nights and work 7 12 hours shifts then am off for 7 days and can adjust back to day schedule pretty easy that way.
yes hospital politics is craaazzzzy, the patient is always right it seems, i sure would like for them to back the employee once in a while. my horrific write up was unbelievable. I was working on a medical floor with 3 nurses and a tech, one of the...
They are crazy and you are crazy for taking report....it is your right to refuse. You have to protect your license no one else cares in the end. Sad fact but true.
Reusing SCD's, I believe that is a safety issue and joint commission would probably have a hey day with that one. I always make sure lights are out and air is turned off in all empty rooms.
I am curious as how others feel about this subject. Last night there were two patients on our medical floor (our census has been very low). One patient was a middle aged, large man that needed some assistance and the other was a pediatric with an a...
Ummmm, no Capecod apparently your are missing something. Didn't say I couldn't handle it just wondering how others feel about safety issues. Get it now?
