  1. Misdemeanor charge on driving license

    not2bblue replied to FutureLPNNursing's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'm guessing someone else was driving your car? I would consult a lawyer just to get your name taken off of the complaint if possible. It shouldn't be a problem, but being removed from it altogether...

  2. Hey nurses!!! WE ARE PEOPLE TOO!

    not2bblue replied to AspiringNurse23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have been a janitor, phlebotomist, CNA, and RN in the same hospital. I realize more than you may that everyone has a part to play and that when everyone does the job, it is a well run facility. That...

  3. Lacking compassion?

    not2bblue replied to Rbrown12's topic in General Nursing

    As much as you may care for your residents, they are not your family so it is as upsetting as when an acquaintance passes. I'm very sad about it, but I am not going to be depressed or down like I...

  4. Suspended without pay for expired TB requirement?

    not2bblue replied to lsvalliant's topic in General Nursing

    Really? Mine sends them out 2 months before they are

  5. Question regarding where I stand with my job (long, but with paragraphs!)

    not2bblue replied to Alisonisayoshi's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with those who say to speak with the provider, asking which situations are ok for interruption. Tell him your concerns about offending the patient's privacy and also that it may startle him...

  6. Odd.. Told to wear scrubs for non clinical interview

    not2bblue replied to Oedgar's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There have probably been a lot of people coming in wearing street clothes and they just automatically tell everyone now. I think that wearing scrubs is never a good idea for a job interview, unless it...

  7. Is it ok to email my letter of resignation to my unit director?

    not2bblue replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I just got a job offer as an email to print out and

  8. Can a Criminal History Stop Me from Being a Nurse?

    not2bblue replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    The justice system is designed to punish, and it does. Pretty much for life. I know a person with felonies (non violent) from over 20 years ago and when a job does a background check, he is not able...

  9. could get fired!

    not2bblue replied to RNmoms's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Fired, probably. She is a "good" nurse who doesn't know not to do the right thing? What this looks like is that she is not trustworthy and that is a bad quality to have in a nurse. side note- What is...

  10. Florida Hospital locations (new grad RN)

    not2bblue replied to runner502's topic in Florida Nursing

    I just got a job at Wolfson (not a new grad, I just like reading various threads- esp if they say Florida). Good Luck to

  11. Fl Staffing Ratios

    not2bblue replied to stervets's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There are unsafe numbers for recommendations that could get the place in trouble. Like 1 nurse for 100 beds, but there is not a specific law for ratios as there are in many other states. Call the BON...

  12. Just some general nursing questions

    not2bblue replied to thenurseguy88's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Can't answer one, but they may do it because more people apply for the fall semester (high school graduation being in summer) but here in Florida, they admit all year so I'm not sure. 2. Possibly but...

  13. ive waited too long to take my nclex

    not2bblue replied to southilguy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Florida has a law that if you are 6 months from graduation you can't take NCLEX without a renewal course. I would call the BON for your state to see if that is the case there too because I don't know...

  14. Performance anxiety and worry...need feedback from other RN's

    not2bblue replied to RN0302's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is stressful, especially if you are learning new areas and have no time to learn it but are responsible for lives while learning! So some anxiety is normal. But if after 4 years of experience...

  15. Can you decline a job if not started but Contract signed?

    not2bblue replied to Gdschild's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If that was in the contract and you signed it, then you agreed to it even if you didnt "know" it. Basically, you are asking if you can break a written contract. Short answer -yes, but with...

  16. Need advice on peds position application

    not2bblue replied to Robins19's topic in Pediatric

    Nursing school is for a general education, they wont worry about specialty fields. They won't teach you how to check in a patient in because that is not a general nursing skill and every place will...

  17. Am I Crazy to Leave $$$$ Job?

    not2bblue replied to ahud2015's topic in Pediatric

    50 isn't "old" but yes, HR can be discriminatory behind the scenes. I will be encouraging and say do what you really want because it is now or never. But, make a pro con list. You already know CNA...

  18. We were all wrong about nursing home nurses

    not2bblue replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A long time ago, I thought LTC only hired LPN. I just didn't understand RNs worked there, except as the DON. So, I didn't see them as not being "real" nurses, I just thought there were different...

  19. Would you hire an MUSC grad over anyone else?

    not2bblue replied to lowkey_44's topic in General Nursing

    Never heard of the school. I mean, some managers may hire from state schools or traditional schools before a for profit school, but other than the immediate area where the school is, most nurses are...

  20. Seven Hells: Vent

    not2bblue replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in First Year After Licensure

    From my personal not so great experience, getting the med-surg experience is going to open up things if something goes wrong years from now. I got my "dream" position in LD and ended up hating it....

  21. Difficulty moving on to a new job

    not2bblue replied to NewSSURN's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely tailored resume, great advice. Also GO in and speak with a nurse recruitment specialist in HR at the hospital. It is their job to get good applicants in so they will be helpful in finding...

  22. Confused!

    not2bblue replied to LPNDebbie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What state are you in? In mine, after 6 months you have to do a refresher- 3 years is insane! No offense, just wow, that is a long time. Honestly, I would reschedule and take a refresher. In the...

  23. References

    not2bblue replied to koni01's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    At my school, it is against policy to give a reference to a student (favoritism, putting instructor in a weird place when it was a bad student, ect). Most new grads have no professional references,...

  24. Entering my last semester w/ low GPA

    not2bblue replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    They usually look at both, with nursing school being a stronger focus. Going from a 2.96 to a 3.0 is certainly possible if you work really hard this term. They may consider the GPA if you apply when...

  25. Failed last semster of school

    not2bblue replied to RAndaRoo's topic in Nursing Career

    When you knew you were not doing well, what did your Instructor discuss with you? It is NOT the instructor's fault and I am not suggesting you put it off on her, but if you asked for assistance and it...
