   kp2016 replied to Chissa0202's topic in General Nursing

   I have never taken this exam but I have done some online "Learning" from my BON on effective communication and conflict resolution. Apparently I was in need of education as the "correct answers" were...

2. Texas DWI Dismissal and License Renewal

   kp2016 replied to Nurse texas's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

   Whatever you decide to do don't lie to the BON but I would absolutely consult a lawyer familiar with RN BON cases in your state before you do

   kp2016 replied to Erin Lee's topic in Nursing News

   https://apple.news/ArM3NF6vPQi-LmvJMplUYlg About time. It is disgraceful that even with the mounting evidence and international outrage that the courts and hospital itself refuse to...

4. Weekend program pros vs cons

   kp2016 replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Nursing

   Be careful of the fine print! The last hospital I worked at that had that deal allowed for a maximum of 3 call outs in a set period for any reason AT ALL. You couldn't schedule annual leave on a...

5. “On Call” for Full Time RN

   kp2016 replied to RNinVA2025's topic in General Nursing

   It's normal to have on call as part of your role.... when you are offered the job. It's a little shady to add it onto an established role without any staff agreement. Also on top of the pay per phone...

7. Detection of Marijuana use in elevator while at work

   kp2016 replied to CharLPN's topic in General Nursing

   Sigh. It is a shame that you didn't head the advice that mentioning this after the fact or saying anything other than you thought you smelled smoke if it happened again was not a good idea. I hate to...

8. Detection of Marijuana use in elevator while at work

   kp2016 replied to CharLPN's topic in General Nursing

   I would not be reporting this more than 24 hours after it occurred or demanding wide spread drug testing if I were you. You are convinced you smelled marijuana in an elevator space, this doesn't make...

9. Lucy Letby Conviction Crumbling?

   kp2016 replied to Erin Lee's topic in Nursing News

   Sadly for Lucy I think there will be a lot of pressure to not further review this case or her conviction. The alternative to her guilt is that the unit was dangerously understaffed, under equipped...

10. How to deal with lazy techs/CNAs?

    kp2016 replied to happyhippo's topic in General Nursing

    Let me flip it just a little. I've worked in PACUs where we had lazy RNs!! I've never had techs in a PACU. Normally we just take turns taking the pts as they come out. It isn't always even as you may...

12. NEED ADVICE- homecare

    kp2016 replied to Unique's topic in Home Health

    First up, I don't do home care and never have. But.... this seems very concerning to me. You know Mother complains a lot to you about the other nurses. I am willing to bet she also complains...

13. Patient abandonment question

    kp2016 replied to Jackson1322's topic in General Nursing

    I don't need to. This isn't my license or my homework. I sincerely hope that this is homework. Abuse, neglect and abandonment in my opinion all apply to the described behavior, but thats just my...

14. Patient abandonment question

    kp2016 replied to Jackson1322's topic in General Nursing

    I think they did answer your question. But I will attempt to be clearer. Leaving in the middle of your shift without handing your patients over to a qualified person is abandonment. I think it is...
