I would point out a conflict of interest.

If you do pass, are you confident in your ability to provide patient care?

Let's be honest, most documentation occurs pre and post activity, very rarely is charting done in real time...

Sounds like this was missed by EVERYONE and not just you. As a clinic manager and provider, I keep a file of expiring meds that are clinic dispensed. My company also has a policy to prevent these types of things. Don't take all the blame, you were th...

You can't assist anyone who doesn't want the help.

Over one's career you get to see the best and worst in people. I would like to open up the floor to share the best (and worst) patient interactions that you've had and what lessons you've learned.

In my experience, patients are not so much the issue as the family members, who more than likely have borderline personality disorder....

Consider per diem, hospice, home health, or nursing homes. They need the nurses desperately, then you will gain back some experiences to cite on your resume.

De-escalation techniques.

Looks like she has too much time on her hands. Maybe if she was helping the staff instead of threatening them, the residents just might have better health outcomes. What goes around comes around...

I've said this to nursing students, and I'll say it to you: if you are looking for a career to make big time money, nursing is not and never will be the career for you. If you can stomach waking up every single day to work your a** of...

Nurses: we can't eat nor can we pay our rent. Why is it that inflation has caused such an uproar in our economy that a basic apartment 5 years ago costed 630 dollars and now it's upwards of 1200, 2200 in some areas. That, coupled with keeping the lig...

Good luck with them and the person who most likely has borderline personality. All over a chair? I'd like to see what this person does over a parking spot...

Then it didn't happen. CYA. Always.

You've already lost. This should have been nipped in the bud in the beginning. I've sent students home for things like this and they have had to make up the clinical day. Expectation is set, if they aren't professional and representing the sc...

There is always the proverbial what goes around comes around. Do not wish ill on your neighbors. WWJD?

Thank heavens I was praying for this day. So glad to see your out of there! Hey, do something different. What about home health or hospice? Then you're really only responsible for yourself.

This is the float your boat category.

This shows the complete and utter boredom of Americans. We are so bored that we amuse ourselves with spending thousands of dollars to watch inappropriate videos of a couple. I can think of a million other things to do with my money than that. What a ...

Was it positive or negative?

As a provider I've diagnosed retinal detachment after ER cleared a woman who was diabetic and had an eye injury. I sent her to ophthalmology immediately for an emergency appointment and thank goodness I did, or she would have been blind. They did the...

If they reported you to board and had you fired when in fact the drug test was negative, you have a case for wrongful termination, defamation, etc. Against a corporate office you will win bukoo bucks. However, if your drug screen included narcotics o...

What should be done? Nothing. We can't control other people. They will seal their own fate with their foolish behavior. As I've previously posted, it's on us (because the only person we can control is ourselves) to make a difference, rise to the occa...

The better question is will you care what others think? I am a very young NP with a doctorate. I know what I have to bring to the table. What other people think is their own affair and none of your business. Go to school, follow your dreams, do good ...

Depending on your hospital system they can move you as a float to outpatient infusion where you can continue to practice your skill set in an environment that is more conducive to learning. Also try ambulatory surgery centers.
