   Remote nursing and practicing in multiple states. What licensure do I really need?

   Lunah replied to NurseyNurseNursey's topic in General Nursing

   Definitely run this by your management - they should be able to speak to the particulars of your role. However, in appeals we could always refer to clinical guidelines or standards of care where treatments were concerned.

   Lunah replied to NurseyNurseNursey's topic in General Nursing

   Clarify with your employer if your role is considered "patient facing" or not. But really, I would bet your role is not patient facing and you probably only need a license in your state of residence. You could also run this past the Texas BON.

   I just loved her spirit. 🙂 I was so glad to have met her here and carried that on to Facebook too. I am going to miss her wit and wisdom!

   Is CDI still a good field to purse?

   Lunah replied to Chacle Brown's topic in Career Support

   I just started a CDI position with a hospital. Hiring managers in CDI typically look for at least 5 years of experience in the acute care setting, but that is not written in stone. I have more than 11 years of ED/trauma and almost 5 years in clinical...

   Lunah replied to TxNurse287's topic in Educators

   I did an ED nursing fellowship at a level 1 in our hospital system when I was a new nurse in 2008. We used online learning modules from from the Emergency Nurses Associatiation (ENA) and also had classroom training with the hospital and specialty edu...

   Should I be an Assistant DON at 6 months?

   Lunah replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   OP, then this is where you should remain for now - at the bedside, honing your RN skills. I am sure as a longtime CNA in the same facility you would do much better in the ADON role than a new grad who just walked into the place for the first time six...

   Tips for a new Remote Triage Nurse?

   Lunah replied to luvtwilight's topic in Triage

   Well I don't work triage (not since the ER, anyway), but I have been working from home since 2019. My tips are: have a separate workspace. Leave that workspace when you are done with work and don't return to it until it's time to work again. (I reali...

    LPN in school for RN with DUI

    Lunah replied to 1Love143's topic in Criminal

    Are you saying that you have not reported this to the board yet? I think these are typically case by case, and it's just going to depend on your BON and situation. I think you might want to check with your school because there could be issues with wh...

    Need advice for false positive drug screen

    Lunah replied to Bananaj01's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry for your loss. I have heard that NSAIDs can cause false positives on urine drug screens, but I am not sure about oral swabs. But I would advise you to read your student handbook as it might have information on what to expect for next st...

    Have a BA how can I get a fast BSN?

    Lunah replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    Don't forget to see if your employer provides tuition reimbursement, and what the stipulations are for using it. Some schools also provide discounts for nurses employed at certain facilities or healthcare systems, too. Good luck!!

    Military Nursing

    Lunah replied to Lunah's topic in Government

    You must have some degree as you are a commissioned officer. What is your degree in? You cannot "switch out" if you are not a nurse - you can only branch transfer (potentially, and based on recruiting mission) if you are an RN with a BSN. Nursing sch...

    Chamberlain online RN to BSN review

    Lunah replied to Shelly202's topic in Chamberlain College

    I think I did, but that was like 15 years ago, LOL. But I taught in this program as well, and I had students who went on vacation. I would recommend reaching out to your professor, but I am pretty sure the policy remains that assignments and posts ca...
