    What's the weirdest thing management has said to you?

    Race Mom replied to monkeybug's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My unit director told me that a fellow RN had gone to the CNO to lodge a "few" complaints about me. First one: You spend too much time with your patients. (I was a L&D nurse and we almost...

    Race Mom replied to alp1's topic in General Specialties

    I am in Idaho I have a clinic site (isn't up and running yet, but I have one). It isn't under any regulation for inspection that I know of. I only accept private pay so no surveyors. I don't know...

    Moving to Idaho?

    Board Additional this should get you to the "forms" section on the BON website. Hopefully that will answer your questions on the fingerprint/FBI

    does anyone regret this career?

    Race Mom replied to cantdoit's topic in General Nursing

    I HIGHLY suggest that you visit the "Specialties" forum here (with an open mind and a thirst for a direction). I have been a nurse for 4.5 years and have become bitter against the "corporations" that...

    Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    Race Mom replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I disagree that "this" one should just be overlooked and ignored. She isn't a nurse. Again...she isn't a nurse. Why doesn't just call herself the "physician's assistant"? She assists him with...
