  1. foreign educated nurses

    kp2016 replied to guest1017's topic in Nurse Registration

    CGFNs can be very slow. Now that they have the online messaging you can message them and ask if they have received documents when there is a delay. I found things actually got done after I sent...

  2. School has access to Pearson Vue. Is this legal??

    kp2016 replied to reez28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry I missed a big section in the middle of your post. This is beyond underhanded. You should make an office compliant to your BON. It doesn't really help you now but the best move would have...

  3. School has access to Pearson Vue. Is this legal??

    kp2016 replied to reez28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A state Board won't issue an authority to test until you have officially passed the schools official curriculum so I don't understand how the school is forcing you to do anything once you have already...

  4. CES Professional Report Expired

    kp2016 replied to jedremonde's topic in Nurse Registration

    Been there done that. You need to completely re do the entire thing. You can't even pay for a copy of the official transcript for CGFNS, you need to repay and do a new

  5. Fired By My Patients

    kp2016 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    As the In Charge Nurse who has spoken with patients who have requested a new nurse I can tell you the patients always told me exactly why they didn't want the nurse they had initially been assigned....

  6. Bad sbar?

    kp2016 replied to jtanga's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you are being warned. I would suggest that you go back to your manager and request that you be assigned a preceptor to go over how to do a hand over that is "ICU standard". You should also...

  7. Applying for a job at same hospital after resignation

    kp2016 replied to misyan's topic in General Nursing

    HR screens all application's prior to forwarding them to the unit managers. If you were not for rehire you would never have been offered an interview. Good luck at your

  8. New Grad as a Clinical Liaison

    kp2016 replied to Alison2209's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As it appears that you intend to take this job regardless of being warned "what is wrong with the situation before I jump" so good luck, I hope it goes

  9. New Grad as a Clinical Liaison

    kp2016 replied to Alison2209's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As a nurse with many years of experience it is my opinion that this job is not a suitable entry level position, the reasons why have already been outlined by other posters. There are many options...

  10. Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    kp2016 replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

  11. Non clinical boss wants to sit in on pre-op visit with patients

    kp2016 replied to erica2117's topic in General Nursing

    This is inappropriate and potentially a HIPPA violation. I don't thinks its fair to the patient to involve them in putting a stop to this. I think you should refresh on the dollar value for the...

  12. resignation before contract ends

    kp2016 replied to yejin24's topic in International Nursing

    I had 1 -2 house mates but they were not people I worked with. The hospital I worked for tended to house you with people from your home country but not people in your work

  13. resignation before contract ends

    kp2016 replied to yejin24's topic in International Nursing

    I'm assuming they took your passport and gave you an igama. You can't leave until they give back your passport and stamp it with an exit

  14. resignation before contract ends

    kp2016 replied to yejin24's topic in International Nursing

    I worked in Saudi for several years a few ago. The first few months were the hardest. If I had been forced to share a house with the people I worked with I really don't know how I would have coped. I...

  15. resignation before contract ends

    kp2016 replied to yejin24's topic in International Nursing

    You mentioned being in a clinic, do they have night shift at all? Swapping to nights and being away from my toxic manager and the nasty cliques is how I

  16. resignation before contract ends

    kp2016 replied to yejin24's topic in International Nursing

    Saudi is a very challenging place to work and the social cliques make it a lot harder. when are you eligible for your first holiday? I would book it asap, leave and not come back, it actually happens...

  17. Failed School Practical

    kp2016 replied to FrustratedCivilian's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Along with the previous comment about consulting a lawyer I would also suggest that you spend a little time reviewing your attitude. I'm not sure if you are aware of this but all levels of nursing...

  18. Depressed about new job?

    kp2016 replied to vxxen's topic in General Nursing

    I would make an appointment with your manager as soon as possible to discuss this matter, do not wait. Be ready to calmly and professionally tell your manager that you did not apply for a job on the...

  19. Taking a sick day after giving notice

    kp2016 replied to kimbalotz's topic in General Nursing

    You need to check your facility's HR policy. I have worked somewhere that stated that during your notice period you couldn't not take leave of any kind. I don't know if this included sick leave but I...

  20. What to do?

    kp2016 replied to Iowanurse2016's topic in General Nursing

    Your husband is right. If you want days you should look for another job that is specifically days. It seems clear that your current DON has no intention of switching you off

  21. What is a challenging specialty

    kp2016 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Specialties

    You would probably get more helpful feedback by talking to the nurses/ NP's who have worked with you and actually know your strengths. This really isn't a situation where complete strangers are likely...

  22. Does anyone here actually like being a CNA?

    kp2016 replied to Veronicax's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes. One of my favorite jobs ever was as a CNA - (Assisted Living) while I was in nursing school. I loved that job and was very sorry to leave to start my first RN

  23. Fired for insubordination and wrong violation information

    kp2016 replied to Proud2bcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think I may have misunderstood your original post. Are you concerned that as you didn't work on the date that the event is stated to have occurred and given that your shift the day prior was on the...

  24. Fired for insubordination and wrong violation information

    kp2016 replied to Proud2bcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The fact that you were allowed to work a shift or that the date may have been written incorrectly is not going to change anything if they have decided to fire you for cause. For the record I once...

  25. Which is it? Coolest and most glamorous nursing jobs

    kp2016 replied to Flyboy17's topic in General Nursing

    Back when I was a young nurse it was anything life and death, the higher the stress and pressure the more I liked it. These days it's whatever has the best hours and working conditions for a...
