    Revoking Your Own License: How to Remove Your Name from the Board of Nursing

    K9lover replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    With the internet they would find another way. I have thought of this as I work in a jail and not all inmates take kindly to being told no. On the BON website it states the town I live in and this...

    K9lover replied to guest563546's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Odd choice of friends you have. I don't like racial slurs thus do not associate with those who use them (same with those who smoke, snort and drink

    "Recovery" and public shaming

    K9lover replied to noctanol's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've said it before and I will say it again, so glad I got sober as a waitress in the 1980's. No 'wait-person' shaming sites. Even then if I'd ever had a DUI my past would have haunted me forever, I...

    Worried

    K9lover replied to cool88's topic in General Nursing

    Alas with our hysterical 'war on opiates' it sounds as in your managers' mind there is no such thing as just being tired. In this current society-wide fear mongering on the whole opiate scare thing,...

    Worried

    K9lover replied to cool88's topic in General Nursing

    Can you speak with your manager and explain the situation? I worked night shift 1st 5 years as an RN, as long as I was doing something I was OK but if I had to sit in a meeting I could have fallen...

    How do you handle rude comments?

    K9lover replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ignorance is bliss, I am a bit envious that I don't think just doing xyz will render me immune from cancer. I frequently find myself wishing I had this ability; I worked in oncology for 10 years,...

    This person outranks me?!

    K9lover replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    He asks questions whereas you appear to be going on assumption that you know everything. If you were both RNs you would be the one more likely to make a mistake. As for 'share your best' outranks me...

    How do you handle rude comments?

    K9lover replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Put it down to ignorance although I would be angry because the implication is she brought it on herself. You might let her know the number one risk factor for breast cancer is having breasts. People...

    What did you do after nursing school graduation?

    K9lover replied to mstaurus2016's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A classmate wanted to go to Magic Mountain so that is what we did. 3 classmates, two female, one male, and a friend from the restaurant in which I worked in my VW bug. Driving back home the fan belt...

    Meetings

    K9lover replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't think you are being disrespectful toward the people who want to be in meetings, I like them but I was never forced to go and really had a severe problem with alcohol + no money when I was...

    Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    K9lover replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get that, either. When my kids were babies you couldn't do this at work and she is just pumping, not like asking another nurse to cover for her to make a Taco Bell run. Does the other nurse...

    Discharging by Wheelchair

    K9lover replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is liability which dictates the wheelchair. They may be able to run a 10K but if they fall on hospital property a lawsuit will be forthcoming. If they fall while in-patient hospitals have...

    Need advice from my fellow nurses in recovery!

    K9lover replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree from what I have seen here you have a pretty good chance particularly given it was non-work related simple possession. I am beginning to think nurses with a non-alcohol related RAP sheet for...

    K9lover replied to xojessicalynnxo25's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Never had a DUI but that was dumb luck and police could decide to just let one go home with a promise not to go back to a bar. I did not realize it was this bad for nurses' with a past DUI, either. I...

    1st thing which comes to my mind is absorbing alcohol-based products, do you use mouthwash etc...with alcohol? It has been 20+ years since my college days and I was never asked anything along those...

    Living Will Tattoo

    K9lover replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I do not have any tattoos but I would most certainly have this one if it were legally binding. The basic problem is that we don't recognize or accept death as a part of life for the most part in this...

    Cautionary Tale

    K9lover replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery
