   CA Board Legal Action

   Haarlem posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi all, I'm trying to endorse my CA license to Puerto Rico and work there. The CA BRN said that they sent my documents to the Board of Puerto Rico, two different times. Both times the letter did not arrive and this has been going on since J...

   How to work in Puerto Rico

   Haarlem posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi, does anyone know how I can work in Puerto Rico as a Californian nurse? I heard that if you endorse your license to Florida, you can work in PR as well. Anyone have any information about this? Thank you!

   15 Minutes in the Life of a Nurse

   Haarlem replied to NurseJulie31's topic in General Nursing

   It's stories like these that scare me so much to work in a hospital (I'm graduating this coming March).. I've experienced a lower level of chaos during my preceptorship and was very much overwhelmed, with less going on than what you described.

   Bad experience as a patient

   Haarlem replied to Haarlem's topic in Relations

   I definitely see how taking Fentanyl could warp your thoughts (I took it before going under, it felt like my head was spinning!), the thing is I had no pain at all in the PACU and did not take any pain med. I was just a bit drowsy from the anesthesia...

    Sorry about the replies not being addressed to the particular person - I'm pretty new & believed that "reply" would address it to the person I clicked reply for. I also can't edit them anymore. That being said, I appreciate all of your responses....

    Bad experience as a patient

    Haarlem replied to Haarlem's topic in Relations

    It sounds so unbelievable when I read my own thread, but it is true. This is why I was stuck on this incident for so long. She definitely could've put things in different words, but the entire afternoon she had this attitude. I just realized she also...

    Bad experience as a patient

    Haarlem replied to Haarlem's topic in Relations

    Sorry you experienced that, I also take this experience into my practice. It was actually hard to let this one go because I couldn't speak up for myself, that's probably why. But this topic has helped me gain insight in why certain things were said a...

    Bad experience as a patient

    Haarlem replied to Haarlem's topic in Relations

    Yeah I would also observe for a second what's going on, but I wouldn't delay it so much so another nurse will actually step in. She definitely didn't seem very happy that this happened while she was doing something else, I remember now her making a c...

    Bad experience as a patient

    Haarlem replied to Haarlem's topic in Relations

    I don't think she was throwing my nurse under the bus, rather, she just told us the truth - that he was allowed in as soon as I woke up - why 'lie'? Other nurses were nearby and it may have confused them as to when family is allowed in. I wasn't a sp...

    Bad experience as a patient

    Haarlem replied to Haarlem's topic in Relations

    I also did not know this. The person we spoke to just before leaving maybe have gotten it wrong, about when my hb was allowed in. My nurse probably called him in when it was time. You guys have made me feel better about this experience. :)
