    Fingerprint-based FBI Background Check

    Emergent replied to mharzi's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Washington State. You can probably go to your local sheriff's office and get it done. I've done that for a concealed pistol permit and also when I was getting cleared to work in a school as...

    Can my new employer search my work history?

    Emergent replied to Nurse Chef's topic in General Nursing

    I quit a job once well in my orientation. I never mentioned it on any other application. As far as I'm concerned, orientation is a two-way street as far as seeing if it's a good fit. You are trying...

    Discriminated and bullied nurse

    Emergent replied to abu123's topic in General Nursing

    I know you're probably using voice recognition. I use it all the time. Nevertheless, I always take the time to form paragraphs. Also, even though I sympathize with you, don't use the victim card...

    What was she thinking?!

    Emergent replied to pharmanurse11's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the nurses could carry phones that would be for only vital communications. The company could subcontract to an answering service, similar to what doctors offices do for off hours calls. There...

    What was she thinking?!

    Emergent replied to pharmanurse11's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why the nurses then don't carry phones. In this day and age it's ridiculous to skimp on technology that is pretty inexpensive. Also, texting is underutilized in the medical world. With...

    What was she thinking?!

    Emergent replied to pharmanurse11's topic in General Nursing

    She was probably following some protocol. I remember I had a patient leave with her IV in place, she was a questionable character for sure. We had to call the police. She was the type that definitely...

    Being Asked to Give References for Someone You Don't Respect

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    What do you all do if someone asks you to give a reference, and you really have very little respect for that person's work ethic. You've had a congenial relationship, but you really can't in good...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Emergent replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    My mother was a spelling Nazi. It wasn't a relationship builder when she mailed back a letter with the misspelled words crossed out, and corrected. When I stopped sending letters, she then complained...

    Rude Clinical Student

    Emergent replied to 3319684's topic in General Nursing

    I'll never forget a nursing student who was assigned to my patient one day. The patient was an obvious opioid seeker. The student had obviously had the unit on patient advocacy and meeting the pain...

    Emergent replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Being Asked to Give References for Someone You Don't Respect

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is that I got this person their last job. I also had given a reference before. We both worked at our last job until we got laid off, which was expected. I was pretty appalled at their...

    Nurse Practitioner had live sex for online viewing

    Emergent replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Whenever someone says "I'm not judgmental", or "I don't judge", I pretty much disregard what they are about to say. First of all, everyone makes judgments of one type or another. And the people who...

    Med assistants are nurses?

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

    I'm a landlord. Someone answered my ad on Craigslist when I was looking for new tenants once. She informed me that she was a nurse at Dr So&So's office for work. Naturally, I looked her...

    Fentanyl Crisis

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    Drug use is a supply and demand situation. Apparently there is a high demand for mood altering drugs in the United States. That is huge factor in this crisis. If there is no demand, there is no profit...

    Fentanyl Crisis

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    The causes of drug abuse are multifactorial. It's simplistic to blame a political party or governmental policy for this complex problem. It may just be a natural result of a society of excess,...

    I think you know why they are shorthanded. I would not stay. I tried School nursing substituting last year and I really enjoyed everything about it. The main nurse out there is a fantastic...

    Fentanyl Crisis

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    By strong arm of the law I mean protecting non-users, such as this little boy, from the carelessness of addicted people. The government clamped down on tobacco smokers to protect the lungs of...
