1. I'm being investigated by the BON!

   reluctantrn replied to daisy_duke's topic in Safety

   Dear Daisy_Duke, Great name. Anyway, I believe that many states have a program where lawyers are provided pro-bono (Sorry if I spelled that wrong, basically they provide free service to low income or displaced workers). Try calling your local social ...

2. Is it worth renewing my license?

   reluctantrn replied to rayshell626's topic in New Nurse

   Dear rayshell626, If you look hard enough, there will always be someone willing to hire you, somewhere. So, if that is your goal, then it may be worth it to renew your license. Before you do though, if I were you (and I am in some ways, my license i...

3. Fed-up: Admin will not even meet with me so I can withdrawal. A warning to others.

   reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

   Sorry and thank you for pointing out my mistake. I am awful at grammar and I am trying to re-teach myself. I appreciate all the help I can get.

   Dear EmergencyRN22, Good point. Not every doctor graduates first in their class either. They do have higher entry point standards and longer education though.

   Specialized programs set up by hospitals, that offer extended and intensive training periods (9-12 months on the job with classroom education) train nurses to be able to transition to PACU. At least two that I have spoken to have gone this route. I ...

   reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in New Nurse

   Dear brandy1017, You seem very wise and I appreciate your insight. I actually did handle the situation pretty diplomatically at first. I always (in real life, not online life) believe is starting at the least aggressive point possible and then escal...

   reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

   Dear Red Kryptonite, Thank you for pointing out that it is illegal to record without consent. I do not want anyone to do this, for any reason, nursing or otherwise, and then find themselves in serious legal trouble. I believe it is a felony wiretappi...

   reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

   Dear ixchel, BSN, RN, I love your suggestion. I actually sent something similar to this already. I especially love your suggested signature...because that is exactly how I feel. How I wish we could speak the truth. Perhaps this is one of my greatest...

   reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

   Dear TheCommuter, You are right. I am actually in a blended program (part online/part face to face). Still, I see your wisdom and I do wish that I had found an online program. For ALL other education, I far prefer face to face and lecture that allows...

    reluctantrn replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

    @Momma1Rn, The only person I am not willing to meet with is the director. I have valid reasons for not doing so. If you met with your boss and they told you that you were going to receive a $10 an hour raise, so you passed up another job offer, then ...

    reluctantrn replied to RNNEWOLD's topic in General Nursing

    Yessss. That golden period after graduation when you have an real and extended orientation. I wish my 1st school had helped me to understand the incredible value of that time period and that I should make my employer stick to contract and actually gi...

13. Way too many NP programs and grads!

    reluctantrn replied to momofm1998's topic in NP

    I could not agree with you more. And I see people graduating that scare me to death and, that I would never want to provide my care. The sad thing is, this is going to cause people to not want to use any NP's because it can be hard to tell the good f...

    The associate dean, and the dean have refused to meet with me until I first meet with the director. The director has refused speak with me via email and has refused to allow me to being anyone with me for an in-person meeting. I do not (for a plethor...

    I stated that if anyone wanted details regarding the abuse, then they could read my last post. It is all laid out. I am not trying to hide anything. And, I cannot just go withdraw. Only the advisor of the department is allowed to register/add/drop/o...
