  1. Tpapn Direct Supervision?

    crazin01 replied to Direct's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In PA, it means your supervisor must be in the building while you are there. Not necessarily walking side by side, with the same patient assignment. But they are simply there at all times your are,...

  2. HR wants meeting or report me to BON

    crazin01 replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Did anything happen with the other nurse, that you co-signed with? just curious. And it sounds like there is nothing on their end to try to say you were diverting. No confession, no drug test, no...

  3. Stress in my job. Is nursing really for me?

    crazin01 replied to gbchick04's topic in General Nursing

    "I honestly do not know when he/she will be returning." Technically it isn't lying. Just because your boss said they are going to be fired doesn't necessarily mean it'll happen. Something may...

  4. Anyone left TNPAP before contract end?

    crazin01 replied to RNlove12's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When you entered the program & signed the contract, did it not specify you must complete the complete 3 years? And that if you fail to complete 3 years for ANY reason ($$, positive testing, or...

  5. Need advice on a situation

    crazin01 replied to ionRN2016's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Is it possible the lender & lendee knew each other before being a patient? I find it odd that somebody would lend to a complete stranger simply because they were a care provider. (which seems to...

  6. Save your back, do powerlifting

    crazin01 replied to JackdLPN's topic in General Nursing

    You're right: we shouldn't have to hear such young nurses complain of back pain. We should have facilities dedicated to help maintain the health & longevity of their employees' careers (hoyer...

  7. Does an attorney help against PHMP/PNAP?

    crazin01 replied to Jhope41831's topic in Nurses Recovery

    please do consult an attorney. Even if you have been evaluated, have you signed a contract yet? Don't sign until you speak with an attorney or two. Finances may be rough but it is money VERY well...

  8. For those who have taken board drug tests

    crazin01 replied to Glb12287's topic in Nurses Recovery

    benadryl is also legal but listed on the forbidden list. Unless you have a valid script... at least in

  9. CST drew up and administered medication....and it was wrong amount

    crazin01 replied to Alyk3309's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think OP delegated administration in this case. If OP was shocked to learn med was administered & about the dose, it sounds like CST took it upon themselves to do without OP's knowledge....

  10. Nursing Home "Fight Club"

    crazin01 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    this is so sad.... while it's atrocious these folks entrusted to care for the vulnerable would do something so heinous, I seriously am starting to wonder about the stupidity level of people, as a...

  11. Quitting a new job

    crazin01 replied to HappyBeeps's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Technically, you can keep applying all the time, and that shouldn't necessarily be considered as unprofessional, but a few things to consider: As a new grad, it is very common to feel overwhelmed on...

  12. Consequences?

    crazin01 replied to ConcernedBystander's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen quite a few times, where a patients doc was out (vacation, sick whatever). They wouldn't get their normal prescriptions renewed in time and a different doc in same practice would often ok...

  13. Should I disclose my current job to interviewer?

    crazin01 replied to CA_new_grad's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Most interviewers will ask when you would be able to start employment with them. And they are used to hearing you'll need to give a 2 week notice to current employer. Being a new grad and only...

  14. What do you do when a patient asks about the character of a provider?

    crazin01 replied to Knight2Nurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Tough position. I have and have seen other nurses encourage a '2nd opinion' quite a few times within a conversation, and a wink. Point usually gets across to patient/family. Being honest, we all...

  15. Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

    crazin01 replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I love when Judge Millian references a crayon TP during her cases. Usually at least once per episode. or 'Say it forget it, write it regret it' (I know 'reality shows aren't REAL reality, but...

  16. Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

    crazin01 replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Just because it's hand written does not mean it wouldn't hold up in court, should something happen. You know what it says (either by reading through it or writing it out yourself) and signed it. I...

  17. why is an RN considered as an expense instead of an asset?

    crazin01 replied to juviasama's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I think different than most here, but as PDN is a more desirable field, any salary there will be less than a less desirable specialty, nursing home, etc. Also, 18 months experience is not all...

  18. “No-result”

    crazin01 replied to Jjpount862's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No input for OP (sorry), but how can they lose specimen? And TPAPN accepts that from lab? I know there's nothing they could do except change labs or something, but geesh. I'd be afraid that'd be...

  19. This is horrible

    crazin01 replied to Nitenurse03's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know when I donate & initial the sticker after sealed, I sometimes joke with the tech/employee, how the hell would it benefit them in any way to alter my specimen? We always have a laugh. None...

  20. PNAP approved places to work

    crazin01 replied to Cgritz77's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Your lawyer needs to call you back ASAP & give you a copy of everything. What the hell are you paying him for if not to be on your side? (sorry, just frustrated about my own lawyer issues...) I...

  21. Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    crazin01 replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    "I do so need to know how you did that so I can train on it, do it, and tell you if you did it right." (Sorry, that made me laugh a bit) Are we back in high school? wow. General consensus seems to...

  22. As seen on TV

    crazin01 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    ER: Benton successfully did a precordial thump. (had amazing timing to hit appropriate

  23. Indiana monitoring

    crazin01 replied to Red<nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    (I'm in PA) I had to do a hair test quite a few months ago. Otherwise, all

  24. Anyone use medihoney?

    crazin01 replied to retiredlady's topic in General Nursing

    (I know this is years old but...) I recently had a nasty abscess, bug bite/ blister for on left hand, between 2 & 3rd fingers. My first office visit, they (CRNP, PA & office RN) said they...

  25. CNA help!

    crazin01 replied to nursesp83's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Do other nurses have the same issue with her? If so, perhaps your company could offer a mandatory education
