  1. Help? I regret this career choice?

    1sttime replied to katie6126's topic in General Students

    I went into nursing as my mother and aunt (both nurses) said I would be good at it. My first weeks of my nursing job I knew that I was in the wrong place for my happiness; over the years I got used to...

  2. Leaving HPRP

    1sttime replied to skinnedknee's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ive never heard anything about arrest, details published in the public meeting minutes yes.... This could mean difficulty in getting any other professional license. Even though I am in good standing,...

  3. Forensic Evaluation w/ Polygraph test!! Upset and confused

    1sttime replied to mp108's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my state to remain a board approved provider you have to fall in line with what the board likes. That said I usually do not tout the benefits of hiring an attorney for the board, but I definitely...

  4. Male Nurse Interactions

    1sttime replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    From OP "Here's the issue: I've come into situations where some women aren't comfortable with a male nurse." - he then gives an example (this does not limit the topic to that particular example. On...

  5. Male Nurse Interactions

    1sttime replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    Many things are deeply ingrained in our culture- that does not make them right. I am so fervent about this as I have been told all my life that I am wrong in one way or another... As people who know...

  6. Male Nurse Interactions

    1sttime replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have no body issues and can be found at the clothing optional beach most summers; however my finances are deeply personal to me... That said it is ridiculous to discriminate based on someones...

  7. Would you tell the BON about brief relapse?

    1sttime replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It depends on the language used: Was it two months of abusing? Or was it using the medication as directed with a slip up? Was she working, or should we assume she was working? These are some of the...

  8. Male Nurse Interactions

    1sttime replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or...

  9. Male Nurse Interactions

    1sttime replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    You have the right to be discriminatory as an individual. You obviously lack the intelligence to critically think an issue as you keep going back to one example while ignoring the

  10. Male Nurse Interactions

    1sttime replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    You are giving an example of discrimination: the practice of unfairly treating a person or group of people differently from other people or groups of people By requesting a male doctor or female nurse...

  11. Male Nurse Interactions

    1sttime replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    How many guys work in OB? How many times have you been working triage only to be asked if a female nurse is available to triage a "personal matter"? The elephant in the room when it comes to nursing...

  12. Would you tell the BON about brief relapse?

    1sttime replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know this seems weird to people who have not been caught by the BON. There are many instances in which a nurse "uses a substance injurious to self" (Alcohol) to excess (and this can be one instance)...

  13. Male Nurse Interactions

    1sttime replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    This type of discrimination has told me that it is OK in any situation that involves finances to insist that a male help me, if it has to do with cleaning products or paint colors then a lady can...

  15. NJ RAMP Program Hippa violation??

    1sttime replied to hello12367's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This makes me mad... I could not imagine how I would feel for a patient that had their various maladies printed up in a newsletter. Its cruel and not helpful, and it seems illegal. While I am thankful...

  16. NJ RAMP Program Hippa violation??

    1sttime replied to hello12367's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have the same thoughts to our program on the West Coast. The BON publishes every gritty detail of ones addiction- instead of just using the terms of the violation (like "using intoxicants injurious...

  17. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    1sttime replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Again, I never said no vaccines- in fact Im with you most of the way. But you had to end on such a nasty note that implies I am arguing to not vaccinate

  18. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    1sttime replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I disagree- I live in Oregon which is ground zero for the anti-vax movement. I convince patients all the time by agreeing with them that they have valid concerns... I tell them that they should get...

  19. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    1sttime replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Lets talk about some of the reasons people might be anti-vax. It used to be that you would get childhood immunizations and a TDAP booster every 10 years. Now its more immunizations, add a hot button...

  20. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    1sttime replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You may be stating "fact", but you are doing it in a way that is condescending.

  21. Advice Needed

    1sttime replied to cdmc2012's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have not been before the board in person, I have had to write a letter- my board was looking for an explanation of the event, and a plan to make sure it did not happen again. It sounds like you did...

  22. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    1sttime replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Its like an echo chamber in here... no differences in opinion please- one must join the herd or be ridiculed. There seem to be very few nurses who are completely anti-vax, most of us live in the...

  23. “Your privacy is important to us� so how did patients’ medical exams get on Youtube?

    1sttime replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, its nice to know that nurses keep patient confidentiality now that HIPPA has been enacted (Sarcasm)... This law has only scared Nurses... Example: In my friends ICU room where she is vented-...

  24. “Your privacy is important to us� so how did patients’ medical exams get on Youtube?

    1sttime replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't call anyone out specifically as there are so many responses which seem to be taunting and dismissive of the OP question. Your response specifically questioned the OP motive for watching the...

  25. “Your privacy is important to us� so how did patients’ medical exams get on Youtube?

    1sttime replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing
