    margin261 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

  8. Worried about my google search

    margin261 replied to RNHS's topic in General Nursing

    You definitely need to contact an attorney to see what your options are. There are laws now regarding 'revenge Media' that may apply, or, as another said, go after them for stalking. Did you post...

  9. Where do I begin? have never dealt with anything like this before

    margin261 replied to C23gregory's topic in Nurses Recovery

    C23- regarding what a PP said about checking on your school plans: it's not just a matter of being admitted to the program. If your license is put on probation there could be an issue with the...

  12. My Burnout Story

    margin261 replied to jk2185's topic in Health, Stress Management

    My heart goes out to you. My last EMS call was a 2 y/o that died in his sleep. No abuse, no one blame. I can still hear the mother's scream when we told her he was gone and it was almost 20 years ago....

  13. Termed...After the Fact?

    margin261 replied to jschut's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My mistake. You are correct- they can say anything that is factually true. In this case, specifically, find out what this person has said. From reading about the situation, it wouldn't be a stretch...

  14. Termed...After the Fact?

    margin261 replied to jschut's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Momma J- Did you post previously about the situation surrounding this? If I'm remembering correctly- toxic manager, telling you to resign after state came? Even if I am not remembering...

  17. 2/6 What I Learned This Week: If you annoy them, they will order

    margin261 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Cani- You're just different- which is an excellent thing. "Normal", if there is such a thing, is boring! (I speak as a 'different' person myself) I learned a long time ago that as long as the...

    margin261 replied to Scarlettz's topic in Psychiatric

  19. Texas BON letter

    margin261 replied to Heatherhansen87's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Heather- What was the reason you had to write a declatory letter to the BON to begin with? If it was regarding some past criminal or substance abuse issue, I would assume that would be what they...

  20. So if I can actually gain acceptance to a nursing program what am I in for.

    margin261 replied to honeyforasalteyfish's topic in General Nursing

    Micro was very difficult to me! I'd taken A&P a few times, always enjoyed it, so it was easier for me. My ASN program was difficult, IMO, because from the very 1st test they used NCLEX type...

  21. Anyone else read this?

    margin261 replied to GenSurgRNFA's topic in Nursing News

    margin261 replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'll just have to take my life- and license- in my own hands and make my own warm apple crisp!! Hey, I CAN administer to myself without an order, right?? Should I email my PCP tonight so he...

  25. Failing nclex 6 times

    margin261 replied to F8112014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
