    Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    Jory replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    I would take her aside the next time she does it and tell her nicely and firmly, "This is the last time I am going to remind you to stop trying to practice nursing without a license. The director has...

    Aromatherapy?

    Jory replied to TNViking's topic in General Nursing

    Many of them are evidenced based for some things, but not the catch all many claim. You have to use essential oils, versus fragrance oils, in order for them to work. The most common misuse of...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I pulled up an article, apparently the reason they are charging her is because she bypassed several safety policies which ultimately caused the patient's

    LPN supervising RN?

    Jory replied to TwoLayi's topic in General Nursing

    It is not legal. The major difference between an RN and an LPN is assessment skills. I would be looking for another job because the DON appears to be very, very confused on the role of an LPN. It...

    Older Doctor doesn't think nurses should be in charge

    Jory replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    I'll tell you what I have told other physicians: I don't work FOR you, I work WITH you. I work FOR the hospital. There is no "above" and "beneath"

    First NP job interview

    Jory replied to m157756's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I can tell you this. Female NPs have a more difficult time finding jobs than male NPs and it's not because of sex discrimination, it is about playing a numbers game. I read one study where women will...

    You must watch me!

    Jory replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I had trouble with this as a new nurse and I brought it up as a collective complaint to my manager. She sent out an email to everyone, without calling anyone out, that people are to waste when asked...

    Advice please I’m torn.

    Jory replied to Yourfavoritenurse13's topic in General Nursing

    I don't go by this forum because not everyone tells the full story and a lot of myths get perpetuated. Paperwork regarding disciplinary action is typically available on any BON website for public...

    Advice please I’m torn.

    Jory replied to Yourfavoritenurse13's topic in General Nursing

    Well, at $250/hr I would call CPS first and see what happens. A lawyer isn't going to be able to advise you on a bunch of hypothetical situations that hasn't even happened. I do agree that failure to...

    Threatened by employer

    Jory replied to wengee's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed....it's going to be hard to run a home health business with no

    Advice please I’m torn.

    Jory replied to Yourfavoritenurse13's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, they do need more than suspicion. I have seen more than one case where BONs have been sued by nurses for not performing due diligence on their own board....and won. If you have a link to...

    Will I get in trouble?

    Jory replied to Mousyrn's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This honestly seems like a troll post, mainly because you see no issue with pulling up medical records of someone that isn't a patient. On the off chance this is real...if you think they don't track...

    HIPAA breach

    Jory replied to ForeverYoung018's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You are smart. You posted what I consider to be appropriate in this day and age and when you were accused, your own social media page cleared you. The biggest mistake any nurse can make is list where...

    HIPPA breach?

    Jory replied to GingerChandra's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Not at all. In fact, a good nurse will pull back up a chart and look at it to double check their documentation if they are not sure about something. You'll find this is a common

    Possession of Paraphernalia charge..Help

    Jory replied to Tenry's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'm confused, it sounds like you were arrested, but if the charges were dropped and you went to a class, you weren't convicted of anything. Dropped doesn't equal conviction. Read the application and...

    Should I disclose for licensure?

    Jory replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Were you living in Tennessee when the incident happened? Records for the TBI are fed to the FBI database. You are 100% correct that everything is "there" but when it is reported back to the...

    Misdemeanor on background check for Chamberlain College of Nursing

    Jory replied to futrnursenickii's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Most all traffic tickets are misdemeanors. Your post doesn't mention if you took care of the citation after you received it, did you? If you didn't, that is most likely why it's showing up. It may...

    Advice please I’m torn.

    Jory replied to Yourfavoritenurse13's topic in General Nursing

    Let's not create drama where drama doesn't exist. Nobody in her company accused the LPN of diversion. She has reported diversion. Most addicts don't report diversion, in fact, they won't even...

    Nicotine Drug Testing in the Texas Medical Center

    Jory replied to MA8675309's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the testing. People that smoke are grossly unaware of how the smell carries with them when they come back inside. This in turn impacts those with allergies or other illnesses,...

    Med error . I’m devastated

    Jory replied to Stephen ww's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody loses their license for an honest med error. Nobody. I have never seen a single disciplinary action because of an honest mistake. We've all done in at least once. Look on the bright side, I...

    39 IOL

    Jory replied to Surfandnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There shouldn't be, but many hospitals allow it. It's also why many c-section rates are higher at those same hospitals. In fact, ACOG doesn't recommend an induction without an indication until 41...

    Starting NP Salary? Help!?

    Jory replied to KrispyRN1's topic in Advanced Practice

    The biggest mistake you can make is looking at a salary alone. Tell the employer to put the whole offer together, salary, call time, PTO, etc...and review

    Advice please I’m torn.

    Jory replied to Yourfavoritenurse13's topic in General Nursing

    I have a better question, actually two questions. 1). This is not a mystery, send one of the bottles to the pharmacy. 2). Once you have evidence of diversion, call CPS yourself and report medical...

    CNM School

    Jory replied to amberella123's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    The FNU program is valid in every state. I would pick a program based on quality. The two trips you make to FNU is for orientation and right before clinicals. When you go you'll realize how very,...
