    HELP!! Just Kicked out of Nursing School bc of Hospital Backround Check

    Jory replied to Trixie143's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'll be honest...not trying to be mean but I don't believe this story. I have a ton of reasons: First of all, any nursing program that requires a background check is going to require it as part of the...

    Forgetting to waste meds in pyxis

    Jory replied to lemur87's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is where you chart that you gave a patient an opiate...but actually took it yourself. That is one of the most common type of theft, because it can go on for a long time before someone

    Forgetting to waste meds in pyxis

    Jory replied to lemur87's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They are NOT going to refer you to the BON. Go to your BON website and look for the reasons that nurses lose their license, suspended, etc. Let me tell you what you won't find: 1. People that forgot...

    Forgetting to waste meds in pyxis

    Jory replied to lemur87's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We had this as an issue in our unit and I'll tell you what fixed it. The shift is crazy...and whoever was in charge about 30 minutes before the shift ended would go around to everyone and say,...

    Credibility of Walden University

    Jory replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You didn't read my post.....the post I was replying to was referring to the PROCESS of becoming an MD, not the quality of a program. The PROCESS of becoming an MD is the same in all states. Quality...

    Credibility of Walden University

    Jory replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is not true. Residency programs are consistent for the respective discipline in every state, that is why we have the infamous "match day" that is the same day, no matter where you go to medical...

    Credibility of Walden University

    Jory replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It was a simple question requiring a simple answer. If the standards are so low, then how are the graduates getting nationally credentialed at online

    Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    Jory replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you are looking for an NP program where you are going to be able to diagnose everything from Day 1 on the floor, you aren't going to find it. Most future MD's don't find those programs either....

    New handoff report- scared!

    Jory replied to lilaclover6984's topic in General Nursing

    Thermoregulation and regularity of temp checks?

    Jory replied to MistyM's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We do axillary temp checks with every hands-on assessment, be it Q3, Q4, Q6..even minimum stimulation. This is can be a first sign that a baby is going downhill. I have seen defective isolettes,...

    Im worried, I have one dismissed DUI on my record

    Jory replied to Smith5's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You are welcome. Just remember the BON will tell you what they require on the application. If they don't ask for it, they won't need it. Just remember that if the application does ask for arrests,...

    Im worried, I have one dismissed DUI on my record

    Jory replied to Smith5's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I agree that you need to find out if you can get the arrest and case expunged, but it will depend on how many years it has been. If it happened many years ago, your chances are pretty good,...

    WHNP vs FNP

    Jory replied to MelRN13's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can tell you why...Most OB-GYN offices will not hire an FNP, because WHNP's are trained in prenatal care up to the actual birth. If the training were the same then the program would take 1/2 as...

    Jory replied to kate4rn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Your hospital needs to have protocols in place and I would find out what they are and make sure you know how to use them. In our facility this is how it works: 1. You page a doctor twice...he has 15...
