Regardless of whether or not the family members were the POA, it is the responsibility of the nursing home to ensure the patient's safety so the alarm should have been placed. If the nurse cannot explain to the family the necessity of the alarm, then...

I don't think he should have been written up and I don't think he should be suspended. As the charge nurse, you could have simply spoken to him and gave him a verbal warning. I agree with other posters, females sit around and share stories about the ...

Yay! :)

We are required to post our original response to the DQ and 1 response to a peer. That being said, there usually are two DQs each week. So two original posts and one post, on different days, to our peers in each DQ forum. That's a total of 4. I'm at ...

Good for you :) my employer has decided they are going to pay me for however many hours they want instead of the salary I'm told I was to receive. I work 45+ a week and you pay me less than 40?!?!?! Needless to say, ill spend the weekend doing homewo...

My advisor told me its because the class is not full yet so they haven't opened it. He thought it would be tomorrow.

I work full time as an ADON and mds coordinator! I also start tomorrow. I got my first associates degree online through Phoenix and there was a lot of writing; I don't expect this to be any different but we can do it :)

I start Monday, too, but I am doing the BSN-MSN bridge. I will be doing the transitions class & not sure what else! As of Sat they were still evaluating my transcripts. I'm thinking it'll be a history elective, in which I chose the history of nur...

Haha, I understand the wanting to sleep in thing! :) That being said, like my other post says, I had a double ear infection, so while I DID sleep A LOT, I was miserable Definitely catch up on sleep because once you're working, you will not get any!

I graduated May 19th and spent the next 6 weeks working and studying for NCLEX. I literally only left the house to go to the store or go to work! And, sometimes while at work, I was studying (I was doing home care at the time). I wanted to have a par...

Yikes. I love IL...not!! Just to let you girls know I did get my physical license today. They could at least print it on more sturdy paper for $50!! Lol

I'm sorry I hope its soon.

It'll post soon :) I still have not received my physical license btw but I will post when I do so you know a time frame.

I mailed my 9 days earlier and got posted the same time. Sheesh il!

I hope you two post soon :) I didn't even know it had! I was at work and my enrollment guy (I start my BSN-MSN bridge on Monday..Eek!) emailed me and said it did. I logged in right away and there she was!! :) :)

I just got mine posted today.

Excuse my language but I am officially getting ****** off. If all these other states can post license numbers in ONE day, where the heck is mine??? It's been 3 weeks.

I could only wish I had 20 patients!!! I have 35.

Yep. Most states post right away but not IL.

It took 2 days but I heard our fellow illini took a week.

As I remember, the letter said 4-6 weeks. We have to remember how slow our lovely state is though lol :) I will be posting as soon as I get mine so you ladies know. Also, pneumo, I know!!! My preceptor was an lpn! Not sure that's legal but she is ama...

I'm in il and took my boards on June 11th and I'm still not on the bon but you can work once you pass, yes. You will get an official pass letter in the mail and can work under the supervision of an RN until your license posts/comes in the mail.

Can you give me more information about what would be done if you worked in a facility?? I am an ADON and would love to help you if I can... You could use my facility and go through me if you'd like...presuming it would work out!

Still waiting.....

Eek. I'm working as an ADON/MDS nurse with just my letter; I'm surprised you can't! I will def post when its up!
