I'm an RN BSN with 5 years of experience in the Cleveland/Akron, OH area reaching out to any Nurses who have or are knowledgeable of direction in career paths with a reprimand on license visible to public. I will explain briefly, the reprimand/disci...

When I come home at night from a 12-15 hour day, or come home by day from a long enduring night my mind is spent. Emotionally, physically, I've given my all to patients who have no clue; their happiness comes before mine. I find myself thinking, why ...

Nailed it, thats exactly the breakthrough I was having when I wrote this. It was hard to write because I am so not a pity seeking kind of person and it felt a bit... Poor me... But in writing my thoughts i was able to come to that realization, more b...

Taking the genders comfort level into consideration is admirable. Knowing your capabilities/comfort level is good too. But in all honesty, there are male nurses who may have the compassion and capability to make a female even more comfortable than so...

At our facility we were not allowed to force even with a POA demanding. Our doc looked into it and said it was against state law and I believe a federal offense. Many variables to this like, who failed to chart the actual occurrence that lead to this...

Ok, so no go on the SANE RN position BUT my previous employer hired me back :) Grateful to be back to work!! I do miss my patients there, looking forward to getting back into those scrubs and back to some normalcy.

**Update2** Wow, I have landed an interview for the position I was created for. I just gotta own this. It's SANE RN/Domestic Violence, Trauma Nursing (forensics!!). This is super exciting and I am going over and over again how I am going to explain t...

Getting your foot in the door in a hospital setting doesn't guarantee a position there as a nurse upon graduation but would almost guarantee it. If another hospital hires you I would recommend staying. It is very physical and different type of respon...

My Dad tried to off himself with 2 Liters of vodka. Literally went to his house and saw the empty containers while going to pick up his clothes... He was up and around and fully coherent by the next morning. I was dying to know what his labs read! Hi...

I would be glad to have the help. But I also understand your frustration. You must have attentive characteristics and high quality of care standards. I have learned that it is irrational, the expectations for another coworker to uphold the standards ...

Ok, with an excellent reference and evaluation, 2 people wanting to hire me at their facillity... Corporate ultimately turned me down. Told them sorry, we've been burned before by people with prior disciplinary action/reprimands... The hiring Manager...

It was quite some time/this happened sep 2013 got final consent agreement/ruling on Nov2014.

The interview went great, the ADON and Manager told me they would hire me on the spot but have to clarify with corporate... Expecting a phone call within 24-48, fingers crossed. If not, maybe its time to consider more schooling and change routes. I k...

**update** I have another interview, just applied yesterday, quick call back. This may be promising. Its PRN at LTC/REHAB care facility only 10 minutes away!! If I get this I can chose my hours while focusing on other possibilities. Fingers crossed, ...

That is a good point. Just gotta get everyone on the same page. Going back to school or investing time elsewhere is a big possibility. You know prior to leaving the last job, what really made me try to find a new company was how I was treated. A frie...

Yeah, they have no idea about the reprimand. They love me being here 24/7, I am going nuts not working though! They are the most amazing responsible kids. They have been great while I go into my "office" and off to interview. The last job was 12's wh...

Yeah, I was working with United States Public Health Service in PA prior to moving back to OH. My husband and I were separated. I was back in OH working things out but living separately from the husband when my position was eliminated. So, spot on th...

That has been the hardest of decisions, my willingness to accept the long distance assignments. I suppose I should be grateful for any offer but having a pre-teen girl and three teenage boys makes it hard to consider uprooting. Plus my husband has an...

I've considered other avenues. There just isn't anything else I feel very convicted about doing, but you are right. I'm not one to sit around for one to two years hoping... I gotta keep moving forward one way or another.
