Accused of Falsifying Vital Signs
I'm a registry nurse and I worked at a facility for 1 day. I never worked there again but 6 months later I received a letter in the mail stating that I was being accused of falsifying vital signs by the DON. Upon further inspection, I was told that 20 different nurses received this same letter. I spoke to the board investigator and she said that they had 3 patients they were looking into that the facility's Don stated I falsified vital signs. This case has been going on for 5 months and counting and I've been stressed for so long regarding what the outcome is. I honestly don't even remember that day and it's unlike me to falsify vital signs in fact I wear a Fanny pack with my thermometer, blood pressure cuff and pulse oximeter at all times. So I'm just extremely stressed out because it's unlike me to falsify vitals Do you guys know what possibly might happen?

I want to get into health policy or nursing journalism/administration. Can I get into trouble for posing lingerie catalog work/artistic nude for art classes?

BCG and TB Questions (3 please & ty!!)
Hi, Why do foreigners who have received BCG get positive TB tests? Can someone explain the patho of this PLEASE. Also, each year are we given a different strain of the TB test?

BSN RN to DNP/ PhD/MSN with NP specialties
Hi I'm practically done with my BSN RN, I was wondering if someone can help me decide on which route to go with my nursing career. My heart is in public health and the medical mobile team at my church, evidence based research and advancing what we have but I have little experience in nursing and no clue which direction to go. Which route would benefit that and what kind of job/living could I make as a DNP, MSN with NP specialties or a PhD? Very Respectfully, Elizanda Dingle

Angioedema
Upon assessment, is it ALWAYS considered an allergic reaction? I know that some people have hereditary angioedema, or ace/arb induced angio edema. A nursing intervention for ace/arb induced angioedema is to txt with epinephrine. That said, should you assess first to see the etiology of the angioedema first prior to administration to protect the patient from unnecessary side effects of epinephrine? Does the doctor prescribe that ?
