    Worried about role discrepancies

    Your manager is lying to you. Just because you are working under her delegation doesn't mean you're working under her license. You are working under your own. So if you report something to your...

    Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    Once again, read the OP. She stated she had something on her lip & was afraid of what it would look like. I am also vastly aware of how bad sunburns can be but if the OP *stated* she was out in...

    Worried about role discrepancies

    You will always be held to your highest licensure. You can work as a UCP but you are working under your RN license. I would be looking for another job & fast. It seems like they want to keep...

    Job hunting!

    Look into prisons or jails. I know when I worked for the state prison we did a lot of things people didn't

    Is money everything in this profession?

    I only got into nursing because my parents firmly suggested it. I didn't know what else I wanted to do so I said, why not? As I got offered less & less money as I was gaining experience I quickly...

    Falsely accused of med diversion

    I don't believe that the manager just dismissed your first narcotic issue. I believe that probably lead to your contract being

    Where do you study that CNAs are working on your license. I would like to see that article. The only one responsible for your license is you. The only one who would cause you to lose your license is...

    Giving up my dog

    I wanted to add that her ill thought out plan & then her readiness to get rid of a stressor shows a lot about the type of person she is. She obviously can't handle stress well, which isn't a good...

    Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    She didn't specify that it was a herpes related until later in the post. She said got it due to sun, so it was possible she could've gotten a sunburn. She also talked about how she was embarrassed by...

    Giving up my dog

    How is it not mistreatment? Their motives were selfish & they didn't care about the dog at all. People look at pets as nothing, but they have feelings too. How would you feel if you got a home...

    Giving up my dog

    Just because we have different opinions doesn't mean we are judging her. She gave us her story, she wanted opinions & we have

    Liberal arts / nursing

    How can you have a degree changed? I don't believe that's possible but you will have an AA in Liberal Arts then an ADN, two different

    Giving up my dog

    I'm sure the OP came here to get a pat on the shoulder & be told everything is ok. Clearly she will be in for a yuuuuuge

    Hybrid program of sorts?

    Great update, kinda not surprised though. I'm not saying WGU is terrible. The program probably needs retooling since NCLEX pass rates are so

    Giving up my dog

    If people can get through nursing school with children, you could've survived with a dog. One week wasn't enough time for you or the dog to adjust. You acted prematurely bringing the dog into your...

    Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    Did you read the OP? Apparently not. She said she had a fever blister from the sun, leaving us unsure if she had a cold sore or sunburn. If it was a sunburn it would be equal to not wanting to go to...

    School Nurse Scope

    You still need all the proper paperwork from the doctor. You can't just hand out meds that a child/parent brings in. And still - according to the website - you need an RN to supervise you. This was...
