  2. Lose your license for administering a PRN med without a pain scale?

    nursemaple2 replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Talk about patient centered care....NOT. The patient's treatment will be delayed because, although the doctor wrote the order, the format does not optimize reimbursement. The solution is to torture...

  5. Staff Development

    nursemaple2 replied to BusiestBSN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am trying to Assess whether staff Ed positions are a thing of the past or a thing of the future, if that makes sense. It affects me because if staff Ed positions are few, a leadership MSN makes more...

  6. Staff Development

    nursemaple2 replied to BusiestBSN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    WGU's MSN Ed is not exclusively academic. People love the Ed specialty courses. I am curious. I work for a large health system but there are few staff development positions. No nurse educators...

  8. Refresher course

    nursemaple2 replied to Navy wife's topic in Nurse Registration

    I have a very rookie question. I am a Canadian with a Michigan RN license and have worked in Michigan for 20 Years. If I leave Michigan and work outside the U.S. Would I need a refresher class? If I...

  9. I can't find anything online about the high failure rate of canadian graduate nurses nclex

    nursemaple2 replied to trsh12321's topic in General Students

    This is interesting. I wrote the Canadian exam, then the Us NCLEX Exam a couple of years later. They were different but I didn't think either was unduly difficult. I wonder what has changed, I am...

  10. Canadian Nurses Working in US

    nursemaple2 replied to TravelLusting's topic in Immigration Advice

    nursemaple2 replied to nguyendiana13's topic in School, College Programs

  12. Canadian Nurses Working in US

    nursemaple2 replied to TravelLusting's topic in Immigration Advice

    I am Canadian living in Canada. Have been crossing the border every day for 19 years on a TN VISA. You take your TN Visa letter provided by your new employer, your US RN license, Visa Screen, your...

  13. Nurses don't know the lab

    nursemaple2 replied to ezpzpizzi's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I was more knowledgeable about other day-to-day responsibilities of other disciplines. Many years ago, a smart manager made us shadow in pharmacy or PT on occasion. I am always jealous of my...

  14. Employee vs Patient: Do you receive care where you work?

    nursemaple2 replied to ladedah1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I receive care at the health system that employs me, due to insurance. Like the OP, I would prefer not to do so. I am aware of inappropriate med record accesses; it is taken seriously and the...

    nursemaple2 replied to trsh12321's topic in General Students

    nursemaple2 replied to Kimmie69's topic in Western Governors University

    I am going slowly due to a busy life. I like it. I am 6 months in. I planned to do it quickly but life got in the way, and I am trying to learn something too! Some people do it really quickly, like 4...

    nursemaple2 replied to Kimmie69's topic in Western Governors University

  20. BCBS case manager-bombed my first call

    nursemaple2 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in Case Management

    Don't be so hard on yourself. You can't be a pro right out of the gate. Did your training for this role include "mock" phone calls? Pretending you are calling somebody, imagine their response,...

    nursemaple2 replied to ZoFe's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    nursemaple2 replied to BarbaraNM's topic in Operating Room

    I don't work OR, but have a comment on Sanitas. I loved them because it reduced my plantar fasciitis. But then I began having knee problems. The podiatrist I saw had really negative feedback about the...
