    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You haven't actually provided any substance here. If it doesn't affect you or the employee's ability to practice, why do you need to know? Also, people with addiction and mental illness are covered...

    RNdynamic replied to sunxfire's topic in Nurses Recovery

    RNdynamic replied to hwknrs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You did right, OP. I wouldn't have put up with it - we aren't paid enough to deal with hostility. That sort of situation is just not therapeutic. Finding another nurse was the right thing to

  18. Unencumbered license to practice on applications...legal?

    RNdynamic replied to glass_houseRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not totally true. Just because it is legal for employers to ask about criminal records, it does not mean it is legal to discriminate based on criminal records. Just as how schools and employers can...
