  1. Florida IPN saga continues

    rn1965 replied to Ipnsux's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh man. Sorry. I would think they would have given you more than 24 hours and to call it an emergency FIVE months later?!?!? That is crazy. Hopefully, with all you have done thus far, you will get...

  2. NCLEX in March, CA results

    rn1965 replied to anxiousbsnrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    With the new computerized system, people get their results so quickly. When I took the NCLEX, it was an agonizing 6 week wait for results in the mail. The only way we could tell was, if it was a...

  3. Curiosity Killed the Cat and Got 50 Hospital Employees Fired

    rn1965 replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in General Nursing

    Many moons ago, I worked on a women's health unit, inside a large hospital. On our sister unit, L&D, we had a very bad outcome with an older doc, and a stillborn. Many thought it could have been...

  4. Interesting case of the spilled pills

    rn1965 replied to KCMnurse's topic in General Nursing

    What in the ????? How disgusting. Why would anyone, let alone a nurse or pharmacist, think it would be okay to give ANY PATIENT pills that come out of a DIRTY sharps

  5. Straight A students..

    rn1965 replied to Delcon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Man, I feel old. We did not have all the tech available today, when I went through college. I was a Mom and a wife, too, and did it a little at a time. For me, I loved A&P and micro, but HATED...

  6. Reported to NPDB

    rn1965 replied to IrishCMSRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The OIG list is not difficult to be removed from. YOU DO NOT NEED YOUR LICENSE to be re-instated for that. All you have to do is meet the minimum requirement to be on that list (that is how long the...

  7. Why is the general feel to this board that the Board of Nursing is 'out to get' us

    rn1965 replied to RecoveryNurse2015's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is a tricky topic. For one, yes, the nurses who need the accountability and strict rules can/do (in most cases) benefit. For others, it may be an unwarranted ticket to stress, loss of money, and...

  8. Nurses being reported on their spare time?

    rn1965 replied to balld899's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do not speak to anyone at your job regarding this. Consult an attorney, just in case the ER nurses and MD decide to report it, as they have the right to. Next, dump that friend. No true friend would...

  9. Losing job due to injury

    rn1965 replied to JB2014's topic in General Nursing

    I am wishing you well in your recovery. I am guessing, like most HR departments, they are following their protocol. I hope your manager will be able to find you a spot, once you heal properly. In...

    rn1965 replied to N377311's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It sounds like you are doing everything to push forward. You are taking control, and in monitoring land, that is really hard to do! keep up the great work, my fingers are crossed for you and I am...

  12. False positive/postive confirmed??

    rn1965 replied to Clenurse24's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh man, I would have been so angry. Good for you, that you stuck with it! So happy it turned out in your favor. That must have been such a roller coaster, that close to the

  13. grateful but bummed

    rn1965 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hang in there. Coming out the other end will be worth it. Sending hugs your

  14. Nursing Board information

    rn1965 replied to chadprepton's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is my understanding that monitors from the BON read these forums, as well. I for one would not want to divulge too much info. Private messages are probably best,

  15. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    rn1965 replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Never think, that because you were a gymnast in HS, you can jump off the headboard and into a split, on your husbands erect member. Fun fact- it was their honeymoon! They both ended up in the hospital...

  16. Light at the end of the tunnel?

    rn1965 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My original license is from another state. I contemplated going back there to do their program, but, honestly, I just cannot see myself in that state. I never liked it! So, I am trying in the state...

  17. Oig

    rn1965 replied to Jaronson81's topic in Nurses Recovery

    IT does not take that long to be removed from the OIG exclusion list. I submitted my application and was off within 4 weeks. I am not sure about California. You will need to check with them, but, I...

  18. Is it worth it

    rn1965 replied to Oldpro1985's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Persephone, This is exactly the reason, after all this time, I swallowed my pride and came back to nursing. (Well, as soon as I get the last clinicals done!). I will forever remember what took me...

  19. It is DONE.

    rn1965 replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations!

  20. As seen on TV

    rn1965 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    The worst was that series, The Night Shift. Every dang episode had the ER docs and surgeons going into the field, and doing some sort of miraculous rescue. Um, no, just

  21. Florida IPN

    rn1965 replied to Ipnsux's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, sometimes I feel like it is a money thing and they will recommend monitoring for that reason. I know it seems harsh, but, I would seriously doubt ANY evaluator who says they do not have a dog in...

  22. Alcohol free hand sanitizer

    rn1965 replied to svetlana36's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I do not, and have never, relied on hand sanitizer, in or out of monitoring. I may be old, but, a good hand-washing is best, in my

    rn1965 replied to N377311's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I only mention having a job without narcs is because often, not always, you will have a restriction for at least a year. No passing, wasting or witnessing, or

  24. I am DONE! Finally

    rn1965 replied to Short LPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations! Well done,

  25. To TPAPN or not...

    rn1965 replied to N377311's topic in Nurses Recovery

    From what I know, you will be referred, as the employer is required to do so. I would call TPAPN, but, if you can afford it, seek legal guidance first, with an attorney who specializes in license...
