  1. I survived the Board of Nursing

    BeenThere2012 replied to KCMnurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes agreed. Whatever happened to being able to question your accusers? Is that the prosecuting attorney or the people who bring the complaint? Who technically are the accusers? I have a case now...

  2. I survived the Board of Nursing

    BeenThere2012 replied to KCMnurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This all costs lots of money...upwards of $40,000.00. If you do not have access to this amount or more, you are

  3. Pyxis error

    BeenThere2012 replied to decarla's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, please do not give up. We each have to fight our battles in order to try to help those in the future if nothing else. I am determined to not allow my situation to be only about me. I have felt...

  5. Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    BeenThere2012 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Excellent. Good work. Keep fighting, please as I am doing in my way (mine wasn't diversion, but more BS), as we cannot continue being taken advantage of by corporations with ill intent. One day...

  6. Subtle deterioration on the floor

    BeenThere2012 replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with your point in general. Yes, it did take a long, huge battle to win patient ratios in CA. However, remember this, we typically do not have CNA's nor LVNs in in-patient settings. I...

  7. Subtle deterioration on the floor

    BeenThere2012 replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent points. If the nurses are too inexperienced, then another tool won't help as much as knowledgeable nurses and a better skill

    BeenThere2012 replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    I love the idea. I am interested in how this would work, but sounds very

  9. Pyxis error

    BeenThere2012 replied to decarla's topic in General Nursing

    OP...this is exactly what to do. Get the information first. IF an attorney feels you have a.good case and likely can win, they may take your case on contingency. Pay a percentage to the attorney if...

  10. Pyxis error

    BeenThere2012 replied to decarla's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, I agree with this. Happened to me. I would still get the hair test etc. IN CASE they do report this to the BRN. Get a new job, and don't tell about this right away. Save your money...

  11. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    BeenThere2012 replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    Okay here goes....not as bad as many here, but has disturbed me for years. A pubecsent boy, big for his age and very strong had very severe autism and was admitted for continual rumination and...

    BeenThere2012 replied to wailingtrees's topic in General Students

    Interesting article...long read to find out 200mls of air, forcefully injected is considered the minimum amount to be lethal in am average

  15. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    BeenThere2012 replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    Check what? What are you saying to her? Sorry...don't get

    Absolutely! Tell it,

  17. "stop isolating yourself"

    BeenThere2012 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do agree. I thought OP stated she did want to be a part of the team and was having a hard time concentrating etc..I did give her advice on this. This post I responded to sounded a bit critical to...

  18. Learning From My Mistakes And Successes

    BeenThere2012 replied to cdavrn's topic in Nursing Career

    Excellent article. Good luck to you as well. As nursing instructor/professor, I am sure you will be excellent at this as

  19. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    BeenThere2012 replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    Absolutely male nurses are attractive. As far as Im concerned, way more attractive than a doctor, for example. As a nurse, I would love to have a partner/boyfriend/husband to be a nurse. Way more...

  20. "stop isolating yourself"

    BeenThere2012 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Op never said she wouldn't be a part of the team and that she is available and willing to help. Her issue is that she felt she needed to concentrate and the "social talk" at the nursing station was...

  21. So you're just a nurse?

    BeenThere2012 replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

    From one PICU nurse to another....Ive had the same responses. I can completely relate especially that most do not actually know the population we care for and that we rarely hold babies. This is why...

  22. Pyxis error

    BeenThere2012 replied to decarla's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with not disclosing this to new employers for several reasons. Especially since it is unfounded. Too complicated to explain to Lay people, and may sound suspicious to healthcare

  23. Pyxis error

    BeenThere2012 replied to decarla's topic in General Nursing

    And one more thing...I see no reason you need to tell new employers about this. Assuming you did nothing wrong, this would just open up a whole can of worms you do not need. As long as they are...

  24. Pyxis error

    BeenThere2012 replied to decarla's topic in General Nursing

    I would take ALL the advice given here. Hair samples, polygraph, lawyer, State association etc... Unless you really want to surrender your license. Think about that. If you really want to do that,...
