    HR wants meeting or report me to BON

    Jory replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'll be honest, anytime you don't want to participate in an investigation, it makes you look like you did something wrong. If you ignored that email, that was a huge mistake on your part. Now...when...

    MA being called "nurse"

    Jory replied to Dln14's topic in General Nursing

    The next time you go in, when the physician calls you by name, correct him and have him call you "Dr. <your last name" . When he asks if you are a physician, tell him no. Then ask him how he feels...

    Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    Jory replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    Depends..exactly how hypotensive? In our hospital, rapid responses are performed under protocol until the assigned attending can arrive. I don't think it is appropriate for floor nurses to call the...

    Patient Abandonment

    Jory replied to redsnapper19's topic in General Nursing

    It wouldn't be patient abandonment, but it would be a very childish and unprofessional thing to do. A better thing to do is notify your manager the next time you find yourself in charge (especially...

    On FMLA, Can't Go Back To Old Job, Now what?

    Jory replied to namaste111's topic in General Nursing

    The childcare should be a non-issue. A 12-year old should be responsible enough to be at home for a few hours until you get home if you work day shift. Get them a phone with tracking ability and have...

    What is the lowest hemoglobin you've observed with no symptoms?

    Jory replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    You absolutely can...but after a couple of months or so with multiple IV sticks with multiple attempts for each one...you start running out of

    What is the lowest hemoglobin you've observed with no symptoms?

    Jory replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    I have chronic fatigue, but just learned to live with it. Only the iron infusions helped and I didn't want to get a port. So...you just learned to live with it, take oral iron and do the best you...

    Student Overdoses

    Jory replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

    I think in the case of an overdose, student should be transported first by ambulance, parents contacted second. Overdoses are emergencies and you cannot assess for liver failure in the school...

    Sign prescription for MD?

    Jory replied to TXERRN84's topic in General Nursing

    I am very curious as to how the pharmacy filled any of the prescriptions when they don't bear the signature of someone with prescribing authority. We have generic pads when I run out of the ones with...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Jory replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be honest....I don't believe that account. "History of cancer" does not equal immunocompromised. History is not current, therefore, no contraindication to the vaccine. The employer knew that...

    Sign prescription for MD?

    Jory replied to TXERRN84's topic in General Nursing

    You don't need to find it on the BON website because in school nurses should have been taught you NEVER sign for the MD without adding your name. Ever. End of story. The DEA is the one that will...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Jory replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly? You don't need to be a nurse. I suggest you find another profession. You wouldn't work where I live. We don't do the mask BS. You take the shot or you are fired. More than 20,000 people...

    Sign prescription for MD?

    Jory replied to TXERRN84's topic in General Nursing

    Not legal. You can call in a prescription, but in terms of actually WRITING them? Uh...no. You'll be putting your license on the line if they are opiates. Question: How are these getting filled by...

    license lapsed in NC; just moved to NM: How to get it again?

    Jory replied to myojin's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to be honest, you may have to take the NCLEX again. In my state if you don't renew it after six months, you have to re-demonstrate competency. Some places will make you take NCLEX

    Recently terminated- being reported to state BON

    Jory replied to nurseinthecity11's topic in General Nursing

    Can you show evidence that every state in the USA has the same limitations? Again, anybody can post "I've seen this". There are plenty of people on here who have had complaints filed. Just post a...

    Forced from RN to MA question

    Jory replied to Jeannette's topic in General Nursing

    Considering MA programs are not standardized and don't even have a license, would disagree with you. I didn't learn how to do PICC lines in nursing school, yet learned to do them as a transport...

    Asked to Write a Formal Explanation

    Jory replied to BSN_Studnt's topic in General Nursing

    You may not realize this, but if you keep calling your malpractice insurance "just to run questions by them", they will consider you a higher risk and they will refuse to renew you. You don't have...

    Recently terminated- being reported to state BON

    Jory replied to nurseinthecity11's topic in General Nursing

    This is very state specific and I have never heard of anyone being given only 10 days to respond. Once you knock out a couple of days for getting the letter and lack of Sunday delivery, that can cut...

    Witchcraft Resurgence

    Jory replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    Essential oils are not gimmicks. Do they do everything people claim? Absolutely not...but there is very clear evidence that many of them work for certain ailments WHEN USED APPROPRIATELY. I would...

    Is this resident abuse and should be reported?

    Jory replied to Aurelia Torvinus's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the person that was assaulted was the CNA. The RESIDENT put their hands ON THE CNA. What makes you think a resident has the right to touch the CNA? She has EVERY RIGHT to established...

    Preceptor legal responsibility with new RN

    There are no legal responsibilities outside of performing within your scope. The new nurse practices under her own license. If she makes a mistake, that is on

    Recently terminated- being reported to state BON

    Jory replied to nurseinthecity11's topic in General Nursing

    Talk to an attorney when you get a notification from the BON. It will save you money and they generally give you time. Just because someone sends a complaint to the BON doesn't mean they give a...
