    Social Media Role Modeling

    Jory replied to jhoilman's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Nope..more like a policy. These are college students, not high school. They are told not to discuss clinicals on social media, reference the school or facility in a negative way, or they are subject...

    Recovering opiate addict accepted into nursing school; Can I attend while prescribed Subox

    Jory replied to MaleLPNStudent2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    But that all depends on what the facility requires. The facilities in this area requires the results of a drug test. If they don't allow a nurse to work on methadone, they are not going to allow a...

    new onset diarrhea with long term metformin

    Jory replied to bookwormom's topic in Patient Medications

    While the active ingredient in brand name prescriptions are the same, the bioavailability, I don't care what they say, is not. Even a pharmacist will confess it...if you corner them on it. That can...

    Jory replied to Dreams89's topic in General Nursing

    Moderators...please allow me some leeway.... OH HELL NO!!!!! DO NOT allow anyone to force your signature. I wouldn't care what they did. I would tell them that you want your name removed...

    Nursing loans really that bad? 120K

    Jory replied to nursequery1's topic in General Students

    Commendable, but think about all of the interest you have paid, money that you could have put toward retirement or your home. I graduated from an ADN program and was able to pay cash because my...

    Nursing loans really that bad? 120K

    Jory replied to nursequery1's topic in General Students

    Here is the facts: 1. You can never bankrupt a student loan. Never...think about that over the course of a lifetime. 2. Statistically, if you take out loans equaling more than what you will ever...

    Do I answer "YES," I have used drugs on my state license application? (Pennsylvania)

    Jory replied to zephyr9's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't think the BON is entitled to even a "Letter of Rehabilitation" when someone has a resolved addiction from 8 years ago. People have a right to move on with their life and I don't believe in...

    Nurses against Narcotic Abuse

    Jory replied to RoyalNurse's topic in General Nursing

    The problem rests with the DEA. They need to be investigating these physicians and start pulling licenses

    Threatened by patient

    Jory replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The last I checked the nursing supervisor was an extension of administration and what they said trumped what the charge nurse wanted. At least that is the way it is at my facility. I would write a...

    suspended for doing the right thing...

    Jory replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think I would have answered the nastiness with a phone call to social services. The parents are setting that kid up for failure. I went to high school with a guy who went blind in one eye at age...

    Dried blood

    Jory replied to yeezimiller's topic in General Nursing

    I don't flip out over blood. You do the best you can, protect the best you can. I have got a patient's blood on me more than once on intact skin. I never reported it because I didn't think it was...

    Bedside Reporting: HIPPA Violation?

    Jory replied to rnccf2007's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I think it would be best if you found another profession. Research (assuming you ever took a class in it....you don't appear to have had one), shows that bedside reporting is best. The purpose in it...

    Bedside Reporting: HIPPA Violation?

    Jory replied to rnccf2007's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It's not a HIPAA violation because there is an exception for semi-private rooms. However, you hit the nail on the head when you say it is a dignity issue. If there is another option to keep the...

    I got subpoenaed

    Jory replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    One of the first thing that I tell nursing students is that it is RARE that nurses are named in a lawsuit. That is when you can get $2 million in coverage for malpractice for under $200 a year. If...

    Do you always wear a suit to an interview???

    Jory replied to bathrobemom's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Were those snickering idiots in HR and doing the hiring? Unless they were, I wouldn't worry about what they thought. I have always wore a suit to every single interview I have ever had in my career...

    I got subpoenaed

    Jory replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    Good grief, you don't need your malpractice attorney. Folks...READ what she wrote: Her nursing care isn't being called into question. I have had to go to court three times before on infants that...

    How to handle a coworker who is giving poor care

    Jory replied to TigerGalLE's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You need to tread lightly with this as does your co-workers. "Slack", "bad care"...these are not specific. When you report things to your manager, you need to be specific. Give exactly what...

    Anyone Here Pay $200 Dollars Still Passed?

    Jory replied to aldrich21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Almost all of the PVT folks that are able to reregister that end up passing go straight home and try to do it. You have to wait for the results to be delivered before it works. If the results are...

    HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    Jory replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    Those are not accurate, just so you know. I would never use one for anything I ever really needed. There is no magical database that contains things like that. It is the biggest urban myth on the...

    I have just completed my MSN in Nursing Education and getting ready to go back for my FNP. I have an interview in two weeks. I submitted an essay for admission, but they want us to write another...

    Who makes medication policies in school districts?

    I have been on this site for a long time and I know that my question will vary by school district, but I am curious: Who makes the medication decisions in your school district as to what forms are...

    HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    Jory replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    I have worked for many financial institutions on a very high level and I have NEVER had anything other than my credit report checked. I have also never seen on any job application, ever in my life,...

    HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    Jory replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    This isn't exactly true. There is no such magical database that lists all of your past employment by social security number. There are companies that hospitals contract with that in turn, have...

    Pearson view trick may 2015

    Jory replied to URIBE's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's not a '24 hour' thing, it's a 'results delivered' thing. So you didn't get the pop-up that said to contact your Board of
