  1. Unsure what to do

    crazin01 replied to Medschoolnsu's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OP, I'm so happy, that you were able to have the truth come out and a positive outcome. Nurse grad, the letter you received was from the BON in your state? (sort of assuming, which I hate to do). I...

  2. Did I Just Roll My Eyes Out Loud?

    crazin01 replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    I'm not a school nurse or have a story to share, but....... OP, when I read the title of your post, I laughed so hard, I sprayed my drink. Good thing nobody was around to get sprite

  3. Calling all PNAP/VRP Nurses in PA

    crazin01 replied to IrishCMSRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sorry to hear about the extension, that is so upsetting, especially so close to being done. I assume you were all but done of the first 3 years. It would be nice if the program was more...

  4. Question for nurses that are male...

    crazin01 replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, i'm a rule-breaker!!! No, I'm not male. But I think this is an interesting idea and am curious what the men-folk say. Recently, my 80 YO grandmother was sharing family photos (her two...

  5. Sleeping on job?

    crazin01 replied to Nursing617's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The part about curling up with a blanket, feet up is just mind-blowing to me... You've made management aware and they apparently don't mind sweeping the dirt under the rug. I wonder how management...

  7. ICU Nurse Turns Medicine Caps Into Mural

    crazin01 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    That is so awesome!!! Kudos to her & her artist

  8. out with injury and more

    crazin01 replied to nursesaysay's topic in General Nursing

    I think the special shoe is still a risk for your position on your floor & facility won't allow you back until you're 100% & you have a 'return to full duties' documentation from physician....

  9. Terminating a contract/Buyout contract

    crazin01 replied to vinzabe's topic in International Nursing

    I concur with justbeachy about needing a lawyer if you decide to go that route. I did a few years traveling and most agencies know how to state things within the contract so their butt is covered...

  10. Caregiver taking naked picture of patient

    crazin01 replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    OP, just checking in to see if there were/are any developments since your original post? I sometimes forget to check back in on posts. When I saw your post come up to newest posts, I wanted to...

  11. Please help! graduated 2 yrs ago but haven't worked

    crazin01 replied to missDLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. I have no idea if this would be the reality anywhere, but could you your nursing school and see if they have any connections, that might benefit you? Maybe one of your instructors would be...

  12. Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    crazin01 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So glad you got the negative report... Seems the majority of the actions taken by employer were utterly ridiculous; This has got to be one of the most ridiculous I have heard of. Kudos for you...

  13. Weird meeting with manager

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

    It sounds like there are quite a few other staff who are having similar/the same issues as you've stated in OP. management should take notice & try some interventions to aide the staff. There...

  14. What About my License?

    crazin01 replied to oldpsychnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've never been in your shoes, and maybe after a long career, such as yours, and knowing for a fact that I would never return to nursing, I'd go with inactive status. My theory on this and pretty...

  15. Need Lawyer for Texas BON.

    crazin01 replied to Doodlesmom's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think mine was about 9 months. But every state and BON is/are not the same. You said your home state is Mississippi, but Texas is where the crime occurred. I am not sure if these 2 states accept...

  16. Any Colorado nurses that can give advice?

    crazin01 replied to SuprMomBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know anything about CO, Sorry on that end. Are you visiting Denver, before the actual move? Just to iron logistics and all that fun stuff out prior to moving? Some won't even set up...

  17. Caregiver taking naked picture of patient

    crazin01 replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    What rationale did the photographer use when nurse inquired him/her? If family member was not aware of the 'no pics' rule, maybe re-education is a good place to start... Unless it was for a...

  18. what is the legal term of this matter?

    crazin01 replied to esolmayor's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse who wouldn't give PRN meds - negligent, lacking sympathy (not really a legal term), Is there a reason that nurse wouldn't give these PRN meds? As another poster stated above, there is a...

  19. Observed Urine Screens

    crazin01 replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Mine have always been 'direct observation'. And I just assumed that all programs required observation.

  20. Any Mass jobs that are Probation Friendly

    crazin01 replied to RNlost's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know not all states have an alternative to discipline program but the majority do. At least in PA (where I am) you can sign a contract with the nurse assistance program and if you complete it...

  21. Drug diversion

    crazin01 replied to gmwilli2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First things first: have you contacted an attorney regarding the diversion? That seems to be the #1 answer to such questions/discussions. Every state is different, the court system may have small...

  22. Go Fund Me for Co-workers?

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

    Glad to know I'm not the only negative nellie on GFM. If the issue is beyond the benefactors control (illness, car crash etc) then I feel more comfortable donating. Usually in the form of...

  23. Suboxone treatment

    crazin01 replied to Heynurse29's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It seems there might be a few details left out, as another already mentioned. The board is not your friend, no matter what they say and how big their smile when you agree with them. I do not know...

  24. Have you completed PNAP?

    crazin01 replied to IrishCMSRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congrats on almost being done!!! I know some nurses in my healthcare providers group have successfully completed. If I understood correctly, the contract start date is NOT the date you signed &...

  25. Job interview ethics...

    crazin01 replied to emmafrancis's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would probably re-apply to the new posting. Or simply email, call, or visit HR and politely reiterate you are still very interested in the position. I doubt HR could confirm if another candidate...
