  1. Mother of 6 Lost Nursing License X 2 and Job

    Guest849204 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I agree. I'm in ICU and have participated in and/or heard about many codes where the patient died, included cases suspicious enough to be investigated by the ME and no one has ever had their liscense...

  2. Mother of 6 Lost Nursing License X 2 and Job

    Guest849204 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I'm sorry you are in such a bad situation, stay strong! That said, something much more serious than a "complaint" must have been sent to the BON. Unless they had a HUGE lapse in judgement or you got...

  3. Tempted to Tell the Truth in Exit Interview

    Guest849204 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    If you will be asking her for a reference, don't say anthing bad about her! If I were you, I would praise her (without overdoing it/being obviopus) and then send her an anonymous letter or wait until...

  4. Nursing Shortage!! It's real and it bites (new grads, can't find a job? Read this post!)

    Guest849204 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Also, some advice to nurses looking for a job: If your main reason for switching jobs is salary, make sure you are taking into account living expenses. Even though your salary would be hire if you...

  5. Nursing Shortage!! It's real and it bites (new grads, can't find a job? Read this post!)

    Guest849204 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    It varies by location and even hospital to hospital (no one wants to work at a place known to be a bad place to work) but I do not believe there is a national nurse shortage at this time. That said,...

  6. Was I wrong?

    Guest849204 replied to Munch's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. The patient was her responsibility and when you are responsible for a patient, you are required by ethics, the law, and hospital policy to treat them as best as you can and the fact that you...

  7. Was I wrong?

    Guest849204 replied to Munch's topic in General Nursing

    You did nothing wrong. Regardless of whether or not you are covering part ofsomeone's shift, once you take report and the patient is handed off to you, you are supposed to provide whatever care you...

  8. What would my rank be?

    Guest849204 replied to Ryjin01's topic in Government, Military

    I. believe you could qualify to go to that officer training school thing and come out as an officer. I looking into this when I considered joining the military, I know there is some kind of program...

  9. Can you not be Type A and be a good nurse in L&D?

    Guest849204 replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You can work anywhere regardless of your personality. Certain personalities are more common on specific units, and maybe there are some pairing that work well, but you can work anywhere you want...

  10. Relocating/Career Advice

    Guest849204 replied to aspiringlactation's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Honestly, I think moving is way to extreme of a reaction. I'm not judging you, I actually respect your commitment to something you believe in, but I think moving is too extreme. Have you considered...

  11. Immunization Compliance

    Guest849204 replied to Amethya's topic in School

    As long as you either get the flu shot or wear an appropriate mask all the time, its ok with me! I don't think its right for an organization to require everyone gets the shot (although I do think we...

  12. Negative drug screen and jobplace still wants me to meet with IPN

    Guest849204 replied to Cpblondie81's topic in Nurses Recovery

    @Randomnurse Your are always supposed to disclose medications you take before taking a drug screen, especially if its something they are testing for (like Xanax). That info remains HIPAA protected,...

  13. Negative drug screen and jobplace still wants me to meet with IPN

    Guest849204 replied to Cpblondie81's topic in Nurses Recovery

    RELAX AND READ THIS! 1. They just need to document your side of the story since the incident probably triggered some policy. 2. Your boss said something about the Xanax and they need proof of a valid...

  14. Negative drug screen and jobplace still wants me to meet with IPN

    Guest849204 replied to Cpblondie81's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If she has a valid prescription she will most likely be able to continue to work. The only problem is you are supposed to bring proof when you are first

  15. Negative drug screen and jobplace still wants me to meet with IPN

    Guest849204 replied to Cpblondie81's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Most hospitals (and I believe state boards as well) require you to disclose any medications you take that could be impairing, especially ones that show up on a drug screen (like xanax, weird it didnt...

  16. A Pause at the Moment of Death: Your Thoughts

    Guest849204 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    That funny, the fact that its planned/required is the thing I hate the most about it! Don't you think making it mandatory can make it insincere? My other issue with it is if family is present, you...

  17. A Pause at the Moment of Death: Your Thoughts

    Guest849204 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this has much value. First of all, the idea of it being mandatory makes it insincere to start with, and people deal with patient deaths differently, while some people might like the...

  18. Suicide screening for all is not needed

    Guest849204 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    I agree that it a complete suicide/mental health assessment is not necessary unless there is some indication for it, but every patient should get a quick mental health assessment (we ask 4 questions...

  19. How has nursing changed you?

    Guest849204 replied to thoughtful21's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be very shy, but nursing has made me very outgoing. I'm also better at time

  20. Should nurses be able to listen to music at work?

    Guest849204 replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    Only in when no patients can see you. For example, I used to play music on a low volume while bathing patients that were sedated (mostly vents). It unprofessional to listen to music in view of...

  21. Any advice for a RN student who wants to be a CRNA?

    Guest849204 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm currently in school for my BSN with the ultimate goal of becoming a CRNA. Besides good grades and meeting the other application requirements, is there anything special I can be doing as a student...

  22. Any nurses with mental illness?

    Guest849204 replied to CaliSarah's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  23. When to report to BON, authorities, and/or HR (workplace harrassment & threats)

    Guest849204 replied to jfrederickson80's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Issues related to harassment or other workplace misconduct are handled by HR. Issues related to violations of nurse practice acts or one's nursing liscense are handled by the BON. Finally, issues...

  24. Nursing Students Looked at my EMR... HIPAA?

    Guest849204 replied to femnursingstudent's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    If they did indeed look up your EMR, then yes it was a HIPAA violation (unless they were involved in your care). Medical information can only be shared when its necessary for the medical care of an...

  25. HIPAA violation?

    Guest849204 replied to Zerocks's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm not an expert in HIPAA law but since no personally identifiable health information was released, I think you might be okay but this seems like a bit of a gray area and I'd recommend paying for an...
