We have legalized medicinal marijuana in my state. I have chronic pain and sleep problems related to arthritis (30+ years as a working RN). I am sure using medicinal marijuana would help relax me to sleep, but there is no way I am using it. There is no doubt in my mind that the BRN would pull my license if I ever happened to test positive for THC.

I work as a RN case manager in an acute care hospital. Our manager allows NO overtime. This is very difficult to achieve when a difficult discharge goes wonky at the end of the day. When our group bought this up at a staff meeting, we were told to manage our time better. And the manager can't figure out why RNs keep leaving the position.

All schools offering nursing programs are required to follow the state RN board's prescribed standards, regardless of whether the school is non- profit or for- profit. A blanket statement implying that for- profit nursing schools are diploma mills or some kind of affirmative action school (whatever that means) is foolish, short- sighted and quite frankly, offensive. Well run for profit schools promote diversity and allow non- traditional students the opportunity to enter the field of nursing.

And this pretty much makes the argument for no more than 3 attempts to take the NCLEX
