    Lunah replied to GlenwoodUSN's topic in General Nursing

    Employer used my photo without my permission on social media

    Lunah replied to Guest915876's topic in General Nursing

    The way the photo was obtained is wrong, but there is a possibility that your facility is allowed to use it. Make sure you didn't sign anything when you were hired that gave them the right to use your...

    Military ED RN requirements

    Lunah replied to aferg002's topic in Government, Military

    There is no practice requirement for CEN. I took it when I had been an ED RN (and RN period) for 10 months. Again, officers don't enlist. When I applied, the Army required 1700+ hours of ED time...

    Roll Call - Who's Been Around the Longest and Your Accomplishments

    Lunah replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I joined AN in 2005 when I was looking for info on Excelsior's paramedic-to-RN program. Oddly, it was August 8, 2005 when I joined and on August 8, 2008, I became a licensed RN! :) I love that. I was...

    To clarify, there are hospitals in both Augusta and Savannah that require BSNs or at least enrollment in a program, but the hospitals I mentioned do not require BSNs for residency. So the trend is...

    Fired for bad leadership - board of nursing investigating

    Unfortunately, the Terms of Service (TOS) prohibit members from providing legal assistance or advice (helping with your response to the board), but you might try the "Ask a Nurse Attorney" forum to...

    What Program to Pursue? Help!

    Lunah replied to lmwrn9's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree with MMJ, do an MSN with the nurse educator focus. There are tons of programs out there, make yourself a spreadsheet/list with the ones that interest you, pros/cons, tuition costs,...

    Associates Degree RN Nurse Residency

    So, just a random question, but how much notice are non-bedside nurses typically expected to give? Not a management position, just not bedside either. Asking for a

    Probation friendly RN to BSN Schools

    Lunah replied to maciekv7's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If that means you have a restricted license, it's probably a long shot to find an accredited RN-to-BSN program. I believe most (all?) require an unrestricted license, as far as I know.
