    Visa Screen Application Inquiry

    Skippingtowork replied to jarein's topic in Immigration Advice

    You must contact the BON. The line is always busy, but eventually, one day, you will get through. Licensing and verifications are too important an issue for you to get your answers on this site....

    does dual FNP/PMHNP exist?

    Skippingtowork replied to Lanntis's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Fulfillment of certification requirements are not related to state boards, just the certifying body. State boards may require that you be certified in order to be licensed, but everyone has the same...

    Skippingtowork replied to anilechim's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What an absolutely beautiful post. Your are right about your pediatric receptionist job being a plus. Unfortunately, much of working in an office setting (or even the hospital) involves...

    How do you feel about being a nurse?

    Skippingtowork replied to Grier's topic in General Nursing

    You need to read your post properly before accusing someone of not reading it properly. We are talking about nursing and you're talking about tips. You mentioned 8-hour shifts, which translates to...

    Communication Discrimination

    Skippingtowork replied to WinterLilac's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is just way too funny. You couldn't have made this

    Confronting Doctors with Wrong Orders

    Skippingtowork replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is so unacceptable. I would fight that. Unless you were very inappropriate in your approach, your place as a nurse is to advocate for your patient and bring concerns to the physicians...

    How do you feel about being a nurse?

    Skippingtowork replied to Grier's topic in General Nursing

    Many nurses prefer 3 12 hour shifts to 5 8 hours shifts. You can take a mini vacation every week. Also, what are you talking about tipping? Nurses don't get tipped here. It is against the law Are...

    How do you feel about being a nurse?

    Skippingtowork replied to Grier's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know where you live, but pushing 50 is not old. If you live in a place where NPs are in demand, you can still do it while working (hard but not impossible) and make a nice living. I know...

    Communication Discrimination

    Skippingtowork replied to WinterLilac's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Usually they aren't, but this should not be tolerated in the work place. It is quite bad manners. If they are able to speak english to do the job, then they should speak english while on the job. I...

    Nursing Student From Hell

    Skippingtowork replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    There are many posters on here with different opinions of the how a student should be when in their final semester. I have noticed that students from different schools have varying degrees of...

    Communication Discrimination

    Skippingtowork replied to WinterLilac's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One issue that concerns me is the speed and high pitch that some nurses use to communicate. It is difficult to grasp what they are saying. Imagine if you are a patient in hospital and someone comes...

    Communication Discrimination

    Skippingtowork replied to WinterLilac's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I believe your criteria will eliminate all potential employment. No institution is perfect and each one is made up of individuals who are not perfect either. What you want to look for is a...

    Is he hard of hearing? Also, some people confuse speaking loudly with messaging

    Nursing Student From Hell

    Skippingtowork replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    DWelly14, sending a cup of tea to you. But here's a thought: All of the posts were made without the above information. You mentioned in your original post that you had a meeting with instructor and...

    Nursing Student From Hell

    Skippingtowork replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the first meeting was to discuss that the student take the lead. Of course if I found out that this was her track record and there is nothing going on with her, I would not have a choice...

    Caregiver taking naked picture of patient

    Skippingtowork replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    No one has the right to take pictures of another person's genitalia without permission. If they have a concern, they can speak to a doctor. A comatose patient has a right to privacy, just like...

    Nursing Student From Hell

    Skippingtowork replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are right about the OP working as an L&D nurse, but do you not think that she may be having higher expectations than what is needed, because of her additional training. This final...

    Nursing Student From Hell

    Skippingtowork replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    No where did I say the student is being mistreated. In fact, I think the preceptor has gone beyond the call of duty. What I am saying is that this student may have a problem that has not been...

    Nursing Student From Hell

    Skippingtowork replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    That's how I feel and I learned it the hard way. If it was so easy to get rid of a student, the nursing shortage would be tremendous. As professionals, it is important that we gather all the...

    "Breast Is Best": A Mantra to Promote Infant Health? or Stigmatizing Adage to Guilt Moms

    Skippingtowork replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    We have to careful about placing blame. Many people do not have family members, family members don't know what to look for, spouses have inadequate knowledge, baby sees pediatrician 2-3 days after...

    "Breast Is Best": A Mantra to Promote Infant Health? or Stigmatizing Adage to Guilt Moms

    Skippingtowork replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if you're responding to my question, but your answer if quite interesting and needs to be taken seriously. This a great educational topic for all perinatal nurses and physicians, as well...

    Nursing Student From Hell

    Skippingtowork replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    I would sure like to hear the perspective of a full time nursing professor (not a CI who doesn't teach) or a program director. Another point of view may be helpful in clarifying this scenario. What...

    Skippingtowork replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    But Ruby, we don't know if that was part of her program. If it is not allowed, she could be failed for doing what she's not permitted to do. Many programs do not allow this. No hospital I've worked...

    Confronting Doctors with Wrong Orders

    Skippingtowork replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    The OP knew this doctor well, so her approach was probably in sync with that relationship. Also, when you're in the ER, time is of the essence and everyone is responsible for appropriate...

    New Grad rejected from First Hospital

    If you want to, go ahead. If they're curious about any changes to your application, you'll have a chance to explain. And again, you were not
