    Who pulled the Haldol? Was it just sitting at the bedside, or did the other nurse pull it? Sorry if I missed that

    Feedback appreciated

    Lunah replied to jinct's topic in General Nursing

    So who the heck in nursing ever refuses to document a med that they gave? I couldn't get past that part of it. "Yeah, I gave it, and I gave the wrong dose, but I ain't writin' that down!" Ummmm, hi...

    Do you have a side hustle?

    Lunah replied to Mrsvirgomama's topic in General Nursing

    I have an MSN, yes. But Hoosier_RN is right, online positions that only require an MSN are not easily obtained. Many require a terminal

    Resign first or wait until I find out if I'm fired?

    Lunah replied to FallingInPlace's topic in General Nursing

    It definitely sounds like a legal issue to me, but that is really based on nothing but a gut feeling. I hope everything turns out

    Your most bonehead moment in nursing. Or 2. Or 3.

    Lunah replied to JabRN17's topic in General Nursing

    I have 6, personally. If I had continued in my DNP program (I am a dropout! lol), that would be 7. But three are Associates, then one BSN and two MSNs. I never stopped to think that it might be odd....

    The Worst Interview of My Life! Ever!

    Lunah replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    I had a gauntlet-style interview for my trauma educator job, but I was so relaxed because I was 99.9% already sure I was going to take an informatics job at another hospital. But the ED director...

    Looking at a monitor to check the patient's rhythm/make sure they still had one when their chest was open right in front of me and I could SEE the heart beating. Duh.

    Will a DNI associates degree be eligible for rn to BSN bridge programs? Such as WGU? Is it accredited?

    Lunah replied to Jazzyfuturenurse's topic in School, College Programs

    WASC is a regional accreditation body (Western Association of Schools and Colleges). The only thing missing is CCNE or ACEN accreditation, which is desirable for nursing programs. Most bridge programs...

    I heard it might have something to do with requiring distance programs to have a physical campus in the state, which obviously won't happen. A couple of others, and I am not sure if they are do-able...

    I'm a ship RN, help finding PRN/Per Diem jobs stateside?

    Lunah replied to Xance's topic in Government, Military

    As a civilian, USERRA definitely does not apply to you at all. I wouldn't even mention that — they will flat out deny you. HR is well versed in the laws. I had a friend try that when they went to...

    That doesn't sound too off-base. I know a dentist who direct-commissioned as a MAJ, she had 20+ years of experience. I think it depends on the needs of the service at the time of

    Do you have a side hustle?

    A friend of mine stripped for years, invested in real estate at the right time, and retired early and teaches yoga for fun in exotic locations.
