  1. Restraints. Act first, then order? A Judgement Call.

    NOADLS replied to ARose11's topic in General Nursing

    I can see an argument for option one or two here in the absence of other information. Option three looks like it was quoted straight out of a textbook. If the nurse in this scenario chose option one,...

  2. Got fired.. Need support

    NOADLS replied to uniqueguy34's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    It is hard to clearly make out what the OP is saying. Really vague IMO. I want to make assumptions based on what is missing, but I know I would tear the OP apart if I did. OP, this was your second...

  3. Everyone wants me to take Nursing?

    NOADLS replied to PoppyLizz's topic in General Nursing

    Only $3 between a CNA and nurse? Must be a cushy job for the nurses, otherwise, I don't see any

  4. Nurse License Revocation

    NOADLS replied to TSWeaver's topic in General Nursing

    Look at CA BON's reporting policies for license revocation. I am willing to bet that if you really wanted to pursue your nursing career, you could get away with it in another state, or another country...

  5. New nurse: I get no respect

    NOADLS replied to Nurse326's topic in Emergency

    This is nursing; the exception to the

  6. In for the Long Haul

    NOADLS replied to Tish105's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If a record is expunged and a background check wouldn't acknowledge it, why disclose it? Best route is to consult with a lawyer familiar with these checks on whether or not an expunged record with...

  7. New nurse: I get no respect

    NOADLS replied to Nurse326's topic in Emergency

    You are a new grad. What you are currently experiencing is expected. Pass the test of time and work for your

  8. Shoe recommendations

    NOADLS replied to kristimarieSC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you have the money, you can screw the rules and go for red

  9. first job at a methadone clinic

    NOADLS replied to Bishop043's topic in General Nursing

    Who cares if you "lose those skills." You don't need those skills for your easy job. And why would you give up such an easy job to do floor nursing? I call these #firstworldproblems If you eventually...

  10. In for the Long Haul

    NOADLS replied to Tish105's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Wait until you get it expunged and save yourself from the hassle of dealing with your state's

  11. Nurses with eating disorders?

    NOADLS replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Which one is it? I'll make it easier on you; is she on

  12. license under investigation

    NOADLS replied to soulman869's topic in General Nursing

    All is fair in love and war... and job interviews Think this one through. If there is a complaint against your license, you should find a job ASAP before the complaint surfaces. If the employer has...

  13. RN currently on Probation with the BRN. Got a write up at work!

    NOADLS replied to sunshinekid7's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    And what if you don't report it? My money is on the employer not reporting this incident to the BON. Meaning that you are the only one who can shoot yourself here. Either way, your license, your...

  14. Starting out, things I should know, what to do and NOT to do, how to survive, and etc.

    NOADLS replied to Pyovley_BBC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school: tell them what they want to hear (especially during clinical practice) New job: kiss the right asses and suck up to whoever has

  15. Advice on Washington state job market

    NOADLS replied to ejnjj143's topic in General Nursing

    I've found they go on sale right when the weather starts to take a turn for the worse. If the OP waits until November / December, it will be a buyer's

  16. Nurses with eating disorders?

    NOADLS replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding through having read many peer reviewed papers is that you must be a young, white and middle class female in order to worship the deities Ana and Mia. This seems

  17. got fired/terminated

    NOADLS replied to YesYesRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You can't just be any normal guy to get preferential treatment. You have to be an agent of the Patriarchy to get preferential

  18. Getting mortgage as contigent staff?

    NOADLS replied to trickstick's topic in General Nursing

    As the above poster stated, two years of steady employment is the standard for getting a mortgage. You might find some lenders to be flexible on this, or you might have a staff member trying to reach...

  19. "Are you a Christian?"

    NOADLS replied to anon456's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    But remember that this division could be your ticket to deferring the work to someone else. I haven't tried this, but if I had a Christian patient that was very strong about his or her views, and I...

  20. If you could pick up and go..

    NOADLS replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to visit Florida for more than just a short vacation. I couldn't imagine living there

  21. Your decision to pursue nursing?

    NOADLS replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    I was drawn to this career by a close friend. This friend explained to me that every two weeks, you would receive a piece of paper which you could take to the bank and exchange it for this green paper...

  22. Has pain scale contributed to opiate problem?

    NOADLS replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously the system is broken and abused, but the path of least resistance is to let it continue. I don't want to argue with Drugs Bunny every time he or she is angling for another dose of drugs. If...

  23. Job abandonment-CNA

    NOADLS replied to Vzuniga627's topic in General Nursing

    Being disrespectful =/= violence Uttering threats = violence If I tell a co-worker to hurry the **** up or if I tell a co-worker that they are useless, neither of those things is "violence."...

  24. CNA vs. Fast food: Which is tougher?

    NOADLS replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    CNA is the harder job. I've worked with a lot of people that have made that transition and they all say the same thing. Only worth it if the increase in pay is significant enough to justify the leap....

  25. Would you take a $5 paycut for Dream job

    NOADLS replied to loving2024's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What is the base pay. "$5 less" doesn't paint the whole picture. Will this affect your ability to live an adequate life? If you average 40 hours per week, $5 x 40 = 200 x 52 = 10,400 x marginal tax...
