    Exclusion List

    Sour Lemon replied to Kitty300's topic in General Nursing

    You made it sound like you had no idea what happened?? The first step, in that case, would be finding out. If you already know what happened and want to know what the Florida BON's reaction might be...

    Nursing Incentives - New Grads and Expereinced

    Sour Lemon replied to RNCompConsultant's topic in General Nursing

    You really don't need to be "creative". Just ask your staff and then ....LISTEN to what they have to

    Exclusion List

    Sour Lemon replied to Kitty300's topic in General Nursing

    It seems odd that they wouldn't tell you why you were on the list. As far as what the Florida BON might consider or not, that's a tough one. You could look at their application to see what...

    Can a home health agency give their Nurses/PT/OT financial bonuses for referrals?

    Sour Lemon replied to Rnasn2017's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck. Even when I can find legal answers on my own, they're so oddly written that I can't possibly make sense of

    Can a home health agency give their Nurses/PT/OT financial bonuses for referrals?

    Sour Lemon replied to Rnasn2017's topic in General Nursing

    You appear to be seeking legal advice which we are not allowed to give ...and inost cases, probably not competent to give. You should consider consulting with a

    Nursing major *HELP*

    Sour Lemon replied to Aaronsmiiith's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing had been good to me, but everybody has different values and expectations. I will say that people who feel "called" seem to be unhappy in greater numbers, especially as new graduates....

    Narcotic restrictions- how do they work??

    Starting from scratch

    Sour Lemon replied to nurse10974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the program(s) you're looking to get into. They each calculate eligibility differently. Most programs have a significant amount of information online. I'd only caution that you beware of...

    NEED HELP BADLY!

    Sour Lemon replied to Meca423's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    An LVN program with a good reputation? You've already spent three years trying, maybe you just need to redo school. I think that's what I would do if I were in your situation. Statistically, you have...

    Should I review the practice test?

    Sour Lemon replied to jewel6279's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You're not "getting it" and want to know if you should study more? Yes, of course you should. Am I even understanding the question

    NEED HELP BADLY!

    Sour Lemon replied to Meca423's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You could have a fundamental lack of knowledge. It might not be a bad idea to push yourself through another program, especially considering it will only take one year. Best

    Is it hard finding a job after graduating?

    Sour Lemon replied to MGK2018's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It will be incredibly easy if you're willing to move anywhere. Otherwise, the ease depends on the job market where you'll be seeking

    Where to apply in Orange County, CA?

    Sour Lemon replied to zackpbuck's topic in General Nursing

    Not true, although it may be for the larger hospitals or more competitive specialties. I'm an ADN and work in an Orange County hospital. I wasn't a new grad when I moved here, but I've seen new grad...

    RN Residency Program Essay... needs a personal touch?

    Sour Lemon replied to ojulius's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It seems a little too long and "wordy". Is there a specified length it's supposed to be? If not, I would tighten it up. Good

    New grad sinking fast

    Sour Lemon replied to Sheika34's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I hear that you're unsure of a lot of technical things. That's the "easy" stuff that you can learn in time. If you're slowing your preceptor down, that's likely because her assignment is too heavy...

    Hipaa accusation

    Sour Lemon replied to lvgrud's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Well, that sucks. I guess it never hurts to consult a lawyer, but it really doesn't matter if you did it or not. If you didn't do it, you still provided access for someone else to do it. I think I'd...

    Non bedside nursing Option ... and a side question bout Nails?

    Sour Lemon replied to lovelyc's topic in Nursing Career

    It does sound like a dumb question, but I once cried (hysterically) because I thought my work uniform was going to be changed to an unflattering color. Thank goodness they ended up choosing something...

    Every school has different admission criteria, and most schools have quite a bit of information online. I'd start with an online search and go from

    Thinking of psych nursing?

    Sour Lemon replied to Elizabeth1414's topic in Psychiatric

    I tried to go to behavioral health as a new graduate, but they wanted medical experience. I now have eight years of medical experience and work in behavioral health and med/surg. In hindsight, I'm...

    Pre-Nursing Student, Should I Quit My CNA Job?

    Sour Lemon replied to rhannah145's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Apply for a hospital job if you want one. Until you get a job offer, there's no decision to make. A CNA job is not going to give you "nursing" experience, though ...no matter what kind of CNA job it...

    To Transfer (for my BSN) or not to transfer... THAT is the question!

    Sour Lemon replied to jessica0rae's topic in Florida Nursing

    No, it doesn't factor in much, at all. The exception would be schools with an extraordinarily good reputation, or an extraordinarily bad

    Sour Lemon replied to AlmostRN2018's topic in Nursing Career

    People who were fired from that particular clinic for attendance issues and plan to apply to work there again are going to be a very small group of people. I wouldn't count on getting any firsthand...
