  1. RN Sup pay rate?

    crazin01 posted a topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    hi all. Yes, I've done some research, but as usual prefer to get input from actual people. I'm very new to long term care but have 16 years RN experience (varied: mostly cardiac, some ICU,...

  2. Unprofessional surveyor

    crazin01 replied to 1 tired nurse's topic in General Nursing

    As a surveyor, they should most def not be asking things WHILE pouring/administering meds. That is basic common sense & you cannot be blamed for trying to remain focused on the task at hand....

  3. MA pretending to be a Registered Nurse

    crazin01 replied to Kenya Hurd's topic in General Nursing

    I know, most likely is.... but I always try to give the benefit of the doubt and am an eternal optimist! don't break out the kernels just

  4. MA pretending to be a Registered Nurse

    crazin01 replied to Kenya Hurd's topic in General Nursing

    have you Googled your state health dept? I'm certain that info cannot be that hard to find, for wherever you're located. What exactly do you mean "pretending to be an RN"? MA's can typically room...

  5. False positive

    crazin01 replied to PaNurse2023's topic in Nurses Recovery

    despite the prosecutors objection, the judge DID state that speaks volumes to my credit and innocence. So it was beneficial for

  6. False positive

    crazin01 replied to PaNurse2023's topic in Nurses Recovery

    A few years back, I had a 6 month hair test done on my own, to demonstrate my sobriety and a false positive. EVERYTHING on that hair test was negative, proving my compliance and innocence. The judge...

  7. Testosterone monitoring?

    crazin01 replied to bc67's topic in Nurses Recovery

    but, if you WOULD have a valid script/medical condition documented by your PCP, or specialist, wouldn't they have to accept that?? you have to be allowed to maintain your own health and I don't see...

  8. Patient abandonment question

    crazin01 replied to Jackson1322's topic in General Nursing

    Coudn't YOU Google arkansas CNA, or any other myriad number of words and I'm certain you could find the answer yourself.... and you come across as being rude to folks here trying to help you. You...

  9. Leave day shift for nights to go for my dream?

    crazin01 replied to Holly9's topic in General Nursing

    When I transferred to ICU after telemetry, I had quite a few weeks orientation on dayshift, just because it was ICU. That should give you time to adjust a little more to the idea of night shift....

  11. Student professionalism

    crazin01 replied to dumbnurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    DAMN! If a student went off like what you described when I was in nursing school, they would've been penalized. Or rather, they likely would not have gone off on a tangent like that. What was her...

  12. How to address a lazy nurse who continuously makes mistakes?

    crazin01 replied to Vee D's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I concur with the not using a colleagues specific name. Perhaps just 'notepad unavailable, taken out of client home.' or something along those lines. And yeah, that's utter BS that management hasn't...

    crazin01 replied to treysealuv's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

  14. Can I work as a RN in another state while in PNAP?

    crazin01 replied to Nurse099's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I apologize, I don't have an answer for you, as far as being able to work in another state while in PNAP. In all likelihood you will have to enroll in PNAP upon applying for PA licensure. At least...

  15. Job hunting while monitored

    crazin01 replied to Rhys654's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I never put it on my resume or application. I always preferred to discuss that subject during an in-person interview. It usually comes up fairly quickly, as I had a large time gap between nursing...

  16. Moving to new state

    crazin01 replied to CSCRNP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I second the idea to look into the new state prior to making plans. I have heard where people have had to restart the new states' program once moving there, despite completing the first program...

  17. ALMOST there!

    crazin01 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

  18. Florida IPN disaster

    crazin01 replied to DFB's topic in Nurses Recovery

    crazin01 replied to LucyLu123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    crazin01 replied to Oneday82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow, such a mess. I'm sorry, I can't offer much input about the drug court thing. But as far as a job, in nursing, addiction & SA nursing are usually friendly towards those with restrictions...

    crazin01 replied to cookie123d's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    WELCOME to nursing! It's unfortunate that women, especially in understaffed & stressful situations can be catty. I much preferred ICU & lots of male nurses to even out the hormones!!...

    crazin01 replied to smilemk0's topic in Nurses Recovery
