    Nurse Giving Conscious Sedation Without Licensed MD Order

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

    Do you think if you "innocently" let your nursing license lapse, you'd be allowed to work without it? Not on any planet. The physician should not be writing one more order until his license is...

    What options are there for public health nursing?

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

    Your past experience + your MPH is worth more from a public health perspective than a community health rotation during school could ever be. Get out there and apply! Don't discount how your past roles...

    Lunah replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I am doing clinical appeals for a revenue cycle management company (no longer for the insurance company). I love it! I don't even have a phone number for anyone to call me. ? Emergent, you sound...

    Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    Lunah replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't feel bad for asking, it's a legitimate question. I was a SANE and worked with a male SANE nurse, and we never had a female victim turn down his care. He had a very maternal and loving way...

    RPN misleadingly applies for RN position

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

    In some places, RPN can be used for Registered Professional Nurse; I believe that title is actually used in some of the northern US states. If this job was in the US, I wouldn't expect people to know...

    This is typically true, yes - they would need one year of RN time. One of my coworkers did an LPN-to-RN and they offered her a job as part of the GS 5/7/9 transition program...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    Lunah replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Imagine, if only she'd typed in "VER" instead of just "VE," she might have just given some verapamil, potentially less deadly. So sad, that poor patient. I hope the Murphey family can move on

    Should I remove clinical experience and my first job from my resume? Advice please!

    Lunah replied to nurse1045's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this - or if you did an externship in the specialty or similar to that which you are applying. Otherwise clinicals are clinicals, they were part of school and occurred before you had your license...
