I know of hospitals that will not permit nursing students to do clinicals there if they were former employees who were terminated. If this is the case, you should speak up. However, the school may use *one* hospital for a *particular* course (ie a local Children's Hospital is a great example) and if you can't go there, you may not be able to progress in the program. If you don't qualify to go to the one place used for a particular course, they are not under any obligation to find another place for you. Agency contracts are tricky and require lots of work. That said, be honest with your school, perhaps revealing a little at a time until they know enough to process your clinical placement request.

It is likely that this group has a role in this proposed legislation: Medical Association of Georgia (aka MAGA): https://www.mag.org/

Here is the weblink for the National Council of State Boards of Nursing's (NCSBN) information on state licensure compacts: https://www.NCSBN.org/compacts.page For a compact license, you must have a state of residency (ie where you maintain an address and live). You cannot have a compact license originating from a state where you are not a resident.

Many people, of all ages, leave a hospital setting (outpatient and inpatient) with a functional IV access. There are many IVs in the home setting. That in and of itself is not a cause for alarm. If a patient is in the Emergency Department being seen as a patient, they are there for an emergent need, and everything else outside is on "hold". If the patient is well enough to leave to pick up a child (a phone call to someone else or to the day care to tell them you will be late could have resolved that issue quickly), then you have to question the need for the ED visit...was there truly an emergent need for an ED visit? Just my two cents after reading this post.
