    Criminal Infraction? Writing a Letter of Explanation to the BON

    NICUmiiki replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I wrote mine in a matter of fact way. This happened on this date. This was the result. No sob story, no embellishments, no blame, no self degradation, or tales of how my life has changed... Worked...

    Touro - BEWARE

    NICUmiiki replied to jeanbeth's topic in General Students

    My board of nursing is very specific as to which out of state schools you can go to. They publish a list (and which programs within the school) are eligible. I'd never apply to a school and program...

    Unit Manager Demands I Cut My Hair

    NICUmiiki replied to Nurse Cookie Swirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would just pull them into a bun while at work. If they aren't long enough to wrap around into a bun, then invest in a hair net to place the pony tail in. You don't have to put your whole head in a...

    CEUs and Texas

    NICUmiiki replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    Old Dude.. Have you not been getting your CEUs? My state renews yearly and we must get 5 CEUs (if you work full time) up to 15 a year. The state doesn't care what the subject is. They just specify who...

    40 yr old with GED. Is a MSN even possible?

    NICUmiiki replied to shamis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep. Sure is. I recommend starting prerequisites at a community college. Once you get a certain number of college credits, high school won't matter for most schools. You'll be able to apply to just...

    How fast did you land a job?

    NICUmiiki replied to johndough's topic in General Students

    I had a job offer in the NICU as an RN two months before I graduated. My state utilizes graduate permits that let you work for a limited time before you take the NCLEX although I ended up taking the...

    Nursing pay

    NICUmiiki replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    Even if I only made my base pay (which is $22.91), I would be making about $43k. $43k x 2 = $86k.... So not really double... But I don't only make base pay, I also get evening, night, and weekend...

    Nursing pay

    I'm almost a year out. I make 65k in Louisiana without any overtime or my bonus included. I do work nights. That's worth about

    Will they revoke my offer?

    NICUmiiki replied to Rnae's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Why don't you call them and ask them? It sounds like a blanket contract that they have all employees sign whether you'll be driving a company car or

    I don't think a board of nursing will let you take the NCLEX if your transcript says

    NICUmiiki replied to mdiada's topic in General Nursing

    First, in NCLEX world..... the option you choose is your only action. Which one will keep the patient from becoming dead? When you pick an assessment type answer, you're saying that you're going to...

    Neonatal Nursing Research Project

    NICUmiiki replied to Lyniciaf2016's topic in General Nursing

    Make an appointment with a NICU manager. Call the education and volunteer departments to see if they will connect you with a NICU nurse to interview. Walk up to the front desk of your local NICU, ask...

    NICUmiiki replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    CPAP can be delivered via trach and by vent, but I don't believe for a moment that that she'd have a sufficient respiratory drive for that. I'm not sure if that home vent is capable of doing it either...

    Alternative NP

    NICUmiiki replied to nursejacq's topic in General Students

    If you already have a MSN (in nursing but not as a practitioner), many schools will allow you to do a post-master's certificate (some want you to be a practitioner already). You'd end up taking most...

    CNA to LVN

    NICUmiiki replied to Shasha714's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Online won't be an option for you. You should research part-time or night programs or consider getting a night/evening job. It'll be hard work to go to school and work full-time, but it can be done...

    Public service loan forgiveness..anybody doing it?

    NICUmiiki replied to lilmamabenz's topic in General Nursing

    How much do you make? What's your family size? That's what determines your payment. How much you owe doesn't matter at all. Your payments sound like standard repayment not pay as you

    What's it like having a flexible work schedule?

    NICUmiiki replied to LucidDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    Who said you get to work whatever you want? Some places schedule for you, and you don't have much input. In my experience (at two hospitals in my area), we self-schedule, but have weekend and holiday...
