    license posted on Breeze account California

    Sour Lemon replied to scarletmelliz's topic in General Nursing

    They have wait times posted on their site that vary by exactly what you're applying for (and how). When your check is cashed isn't a good indicator of anything. Processing

    One thing i dont understand(at the nurses' station)

    Sour Lemon replied to BellaCat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    English is also referred to as the required "universal language" in my hospital's employee handbook, but most of the people I work with are foreign-born and speak at least one other language. I can't...

    Nursing Jobs in Utah

    I heard it's good if you are Morman and a little strange if you are not ...no personal experience,

    Withholding bonus due to oustanding medical bills?

    Sour Lemon replied to skitch885's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds frustrating, but I don't see how it's a violation for your employer to know about money you owe to them. You might have to look at your bonus check as additional "interest" paid towards the...

    Male nurse in injectible/botox

    Sour Lemon replied to malenurse2010's topic in General Nursing

    My perception is that males are less detail oriented when it comes to beauty and that females are more judgemental and aware of "flaws". Considering that, I'd probably be more comfortable with a male...

    New MD orders

    Sour Lemon replied to rolvue's topic in General Nursing

    If the other nurse entered the order and you just carried it out (even a little late), I'm not sure how you're at fault. We'd all make a lot of enemies very quickly if we called to clarify every order...

    Fed up with my CNA job. What to do now?

    Sour Lemon replied to michigan94's topic in General Nursing

    It's going to be a lot worse when you start working as a nurse. You'll still have all those problems, plus a bunch of new ones. When the nurse is too busy to help you, they're busy doing something...

    My two cents.

    Sour Lemon replied to Nursey Me's topic in General Nursing

    I genuinely think it's kind to tell some people what they're unlikely to hear in the real world. There are people who stumble through life (or work) without ever hearing what they need to from the...

    Recycled topics (vent)

    Sour Lemon replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Anything that sounds like it belongs in a thirteen year old girl's Hello Kitty diary is pretty annoying ...and there's lots of that lately, for some

    Nursing scrubs worn by visitors in the unit

    Sour Lemon replied to Skippingtowork's topic in General Nursing

    When I had my baby, no one came to take him except for my nurse. And at shift change the old one introduced the new one. Hey ...I might have just found one thing I like about bedside

    What is nursing school like?

    Sour Lemon replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My impression is that they're not "passionate" about anything except getting away from patient care and into something else. Anything else. That being said, we need them ...and following their...

    I've had 3 years (3rd year) in nursing school in the Philippines; currently an LVN in Cali

    Sour Lemon replied to mfsp001's topic in Nurse Registration

    Some people who have completed programs in the Philippines still have deficiencies. If you didn't actually complete the program, I can't imagine that you'd be qualified to apply for an RN license in...

    I've had 3 years (3rd year) in nursing school in the Philippines; currently an LVN in Cali

    Sour Lemon replied to mfsp001's topic in Nurse Registration

    The California BON is the only one who can answer that question, and they will probably need to see transcripts from your school to do so (assuming you meet all other requirements). They'll also want...

    new nurse position

    Sour Lemon replied to happylife26's topic in General Nursing

    I've only been given a urine drug screen for employment purposes, but you really need to ask them. Even if someone who works there happens to be on this site, they most likely won't want to identify...

    Sour Lemon replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's even worse when they start with, "I promised myself I would come here and write about it when I finally passed NCLEX." (followed by an 8,000,000 word essay that no mortal being has the time to...

    How low would you go?

    Sour Lemon replied to Goldenfox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    At least it says the salary is negotiable ...so there's a little hope? I wouldn't accept that pay even with my lowly

    1hr Drive to Nursing School

    Sour Lemon replied to hamolady's topic in General Students

    Austin is nowhere near as expensive as California, although it is pricey for Texas. When I went to nursing school, I didn't have a car. So while my school and clinical sites were not terribly far...

    Nursing scrubs worn by visitors in the unit

    Sour Lemon replied to Skippingtowork's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worked anyplace that had a restriction on scrubs being worn by visitors. That actually sounds a bit bizarre, to me. Our badges are considered our identification. At one hospital I worked...

    dealing with rude doctors?

    Sour Lemon replied to 2016New's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work with more foreign-born nurses than not. I have never noticed any of them writing in big blocks with no capital letters and no spacing. 99% of them are effective communicators despite English...

    dealing with rude doctors?

    It's not about "policing", it's about identifying a possible contributing cause to the OP's problem. She did come here asking for advice, after
