The0Walrus BSN, RN

Long story short there was a complaint against me sent to the NJ BON. They sent me a letter asking to voluntarily suspend my license while they investigate. My attorney and I refused because it was wrongful accusation. It's been a year and 4 months s...

Mainly money but both. I put the rest of my money after bills into stocks and investments in case I get tired of it or if something happens with my license. I still feel bad for my patients and do my best. Most patients I've worked with have really l...

I need to buy a policy for nurse practitioner program. I had a complaint against me and then the BON were alerted. Right now I have not yet been contacted by the investigator. My license is not suspended or on probation. It's clear right now. I have ...

I'm debating with a friend on whether hospitals are allowed to record patients in their own rooms. Quiet rooms are obviously recorded, but their personal rooms? I'm curious.

My license is coming up for renewal in NY. I was terminated once for misconduct and forced to resign once for failure to pass orientation at a hospital. Both did not alert the BON. What I'm worried about it is they see this and will take it as self r...

Who do I pay the 40.00 to? What company?

Can I check been verified or Google to see if she has been arrested for anything?

I was working my shift. I got a call from HR and they told me they needed to talk to me in person. I went and the HR rep told me the patient in the psych unit I work in filed a complaint that I groped her breast. I never did that. I told HR that duri...

Will it give me anything on my work history? My criminal record is clean. I'm worried this hospital can send every future employer this report made against me and I would look absolutely terrible even with a clean record. Even if I say this was absol...

You're taking this out of context. Patients code. Sometimes they make it and sometimes they don't. The nurse is not always going to be able to save people. I know it's shocking to know that nurses and doctors can't save everyone. If there is negligen...

I'm late, but that is absolutely nuts. I really hope she got herself an attorney or maybe 2... The BON just has way too much power. All this was because a patient died? That makes no sense to me. In a code you have several nurses working together, a ...

Unfortunately I was terminated for a level 2 infraction. I am unavailable to get hired in that one hospital group. Now I'm worried because what the hell do I tell any future employers if the application asks "were you ever suspended or fired and why?...

It's my per diem job. They put me on administration suspension. I gotcha though. I understand.

I'm curious. What would this investigation entail? I have a friend who worked with me that night. She said nobody has spoken to her or anyone else that night about me and what happened so how does an investigation go like? If they go through cam...

Thanks! Yeah I was on the fence on this. I don't want them to have any reason to have any suspicion on me. I didn't do anything so there would be no reason to quit, but at the same time I don't want the hospital to just protect themselves and fire me...

I wouldn't do this because I wouldn't want to give any reason to be terminated for a HIPAA violation. You can get into so much trouble that the trouble isn't worth it. I also just want to get rid of this nightmare and looking into her charts would pr...

I agree entirely with you that because I'm a male nurse and due to the climate we live in with regards to men and sexual misconduct. This is unfortunate. The unit I work in has a rover doing rounds, and had an aide doing his rounds. I would many time...

In my state (NJ) hospitals need to report these things to the police and DOH. So apparently it was reported. Police haven't made contact me with me in the past few weeks but this giving me a serious level of anxiety. I spoke to a nursing board a...

Thanks everyone. I spoke to a coworker about this who worked with me that night and she laughed it off saying basically the patient had been there before as a med seeker and the psych unit is filled with manipulative drug seekers. She told me "we hav...

I'm mainly a psych nurse. I like picking up extra shifts at the hospital and will pick up shifts in any of the med surg or PCU units, but I would say the patients I fear most when I have to take them are patients in the psych unit that want to fight ...

I'm curious. Most of the people I went to school with want to be ICU or ER nurses. They've never worked in the ICU or the ER but that's all they want to do. I told one girl who refused to work anywhere else other than ICU to go into a nursing home if...

If you take out the N out of BSN you'll know how I feel about the BSN. I got my BSN with my RN. I didn't get it because I felt like it would help me at all. More so, now with my BSN I don't feel I'm any smarter or know more than an RN. The ...

30/hr is stupid low from what I always read. In NJ many hospitals start you at 35-36. 30/hr is south Jersey or at a nursing home.

Honestly, I think nurses should be able to file a lawsuit against the BON when they do things so unfair. They shouldn't have so much power. This is why I'm planning to invest in real estate on the side. You can't just sit back and allow a group like ...

I posted my BSN diploma and the dummies in school who I thought were creepy. I haven't posted myself in PPE when COVID hit because I just didn't want to. I posted my pinning ceremony because I was proud that I became a nurse. This deals with per...
