    Will board accept missing second first name on RN diploma?

    Jory replied to MurseVp9's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be honest..I would request a diploma with my CORRECT legal name. That is going to cause you problems later and you'll always have to send in additional documentation, etc. I would also call...

    Disappointing Interview

    Jory replied to JSB2018's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it was rude...they probably had a greater need for psych. However, I think many nurse managers don't know how to interview. An FNP friend of mine interviewed at a home health agency and...

    let go from job

    Jory replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't help your situation, but whoever decided to let people go on a Friday, end of the day, etc....needs to be shot. That is the wrong way to terminate someone. Do it on a Monday or in the...

    Jory replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Rule of thumb: Never take out more money than you make in a year. Don't do income based repayment either...drags out the loan..pay what you can afford and make paying it off a

    Does the Doctor-Nurse Game Still Exist?

    Not being paid anything for overtime hours worked during orientation. Is this legal?

    Jory replied to GbabyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    What states doesn't require payment of overtime? If you have more than 50 employees, you fall under US Department of Labor guidelines. The only way you can get out of paying employees overtime is by...

    Address change violations!?

    Jory replied to allisonleigh122's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Jory replied to newmom17's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not one for playing tattletale, but I would report this comment to your manager. It is ignorant for any nurse to make such a statement and she will carry that level of ignorance into other areas...
