I have been an RN for 5 years. Two years ago, a small hospital in which I was practicing reported to my state BON every mistake I had made during my entire 2 years of employment. This happened AFTER a doctor and myself got into a very heated argument...

I didn't flat refuse the drug test......however, I felt than and do now that the MD should have been drug tested also.......he was putting a pts life in danger and we are supose to be pt avocates.......I rest assured if this order was given to a nurs...

Amen to your statement

as far as I know, mg/Mg/cc are the same....neither is more than the other....ex: 1cc = 1mg = 1MG.....however I have NEVER seen Mg used as mg or cc

many people fail classes. This does NOT suggest you are not intelligent. Remeber on the tests......there is NO correct answer......only the best answer

I agree. You need to become a nurse aid for this will more than fulfill your wants and desires in helping the helpless.

don;t worry yourself with r/g your inteligence, but be be VERY AFRAID of the profession within it's self.....

In my area, nurses wore white for years and years. This whole region was accustomed to seeing nurses in white which set them apart from nurse aides, housekeeping and such. Then 10 years ago or more, the hospitals wanted all persons in the same color....

True Story #1 This happened in KY to a RN who worked in a inpatient dialysis unit. I went to school with this RN and received this information from her. The following incident happped approx one year ago: The names will be changed to protect the quil...

I totally agree! How in the world can a person work in nursing where caring for people is our business be so un-caring for an employee who is a human being.....I just wish you all could have experienced the whole scene! No nurse in this profession wo...

Thank you for your post......You sure do have a very clear mind-set of how so many nurses treat each other. It's sad:( Just think how different it could be if all nurses protected one another.

This where I found my attorney :)

K***** was fired for planning to leave the facility without notifying the DON. The drug test was done per protocol. I personally spoke to the DON and she respnded at one point during our conversation: "I didn't realize she was so sick, I demanded the...

my friend only answered 75 questions and failed.

what's with the 'if this is the true story' statement?' I notice this alot on many threads........why tell an untruth? The upper management of this profession is very successful in making sure WE don't create unity in one-another. I certainly would N...

I took the Kaplan and my scores were awful. So I purchased some NLEX books which had sample tests on a CD for my computer. I studied these for 2 weeks took the N-CLEX and answered 270 questions and passed. My experience is this, sign up for it....ta...

I have been treated for depression and panic disorder for years. I agree the answer is NO! Also I would NOT contact the BON for this is none of their business unless you are unable to perform your duties.

RN, LPN, CNA, CNA difference is MONEY since all of these titles have more and more responsibiity. I know many CNAs who could probably pass the RN N-CLEX exam and do quite well.

admissions of any kind and charting in this order:chuckle

CMAs are being used in KY as well to pass meds. The rate of pay is approx $10 per hour. Of course in my present situation, I may have to spend 2 years as a CMA or even a CNA so I can continue working in my field until I can my RN license active. How...

I have NEVER made a med error which put a patients life at risk! I was employed with this facility for 56 days.......I don't feel 2 med errors are cause for this type of action. Prior to working at this LTC facility I had worked for a OP dialysis uni...

*huggs* to you my dear nurse........The Lord only knows I KNOW how you feel:crying2:

Believe it or NOT! This is the whole story! one resident did not receive his coumadin, another resident did not receive her Remeron. ONE physician oder was faxed to our out of state pharmacy without the name of the resident. The pharmacy called me wi...

I live in KY I do have an attorney at this time. I only wish I had gotten one 2 years ago.. Huggs to you all for responding....no can know how devastating this situation is to me BUT a group of nurses who had their lives turned upside down going thro...

I have this condition. It is in NO WAY similar to general mucle aches and pains. There are days when this condition can be very debilitating.....as far as neurontin goes..........the drug companies can keep it! Mark my words...it won't be long until ...
