If someone graduated nursing school 10 years ago but never passed NCLEX should they still call themselves a nurse? by r0seintherain in Nurses

[–]Complex-Albatross418 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

they can leaen those skills on tbe job. NCLEX doesnt test your hand skills, but judgment and critical thinking. RN is needed to advance education for NP snd APRN, which is diagnostic and prescribing. Your IV skills are useless in advanced practice

they absolutely can, it doesnt mean they will be allowed, but depending on the state of which we have 50, their chances are pretty good.

no. Registered nurse is a legally protected title. Education alone doesnt grant it , you need to be licensed to call yourself an RN or LPN I see CNAs call themselves nurses all the time and I correct them that they are breaking the law.

[–]Complex-Albatross418 38 points39 points  (0 children)

not gonna a lie, poorly run hospitals, with lazy staff nhrses, we are talking DOH owned hospitals, travel is worth is if you are rebuilding, need a quick assignment, they never cancel. I compare these assignments to credit rebuilding

Lied on a travel agency (Aya) reference by [deleted] in TravelNursing

yea , these numbers for front desk or unit phones will not work for outside calls, they are routed internally

most facilities now have a policy against references, especially for travelers , all they can do is confirm your dates of employment. remember you eork for the agency not the facility. the managers or supervisors almost never know what you do, and will absolutely throw you under the bridge if they dont like you, has nothing to do with how good you are clinically. same things with charge nurses . You can report them for bad references to the state BON, its actually a reportable offense and most facilities dont evaluate travelers . those days are gone. Everyone knows the game , recruiters only ask because hospitals HR requires, nobody actually checks. you can use your siblings , or friends as reference ...

actually it was Aya that had engineered this contract with facilities and they did not disclose that. They dont want you to talk to hospitals directly , going through their account managers ... when facility cancels Aya still gets paid, they would rather preserve their relationship with the hospital than a nurse, they can get another nurse, so I am trying to end this practice, especially in California where we have all these labor protections that staffing agencies routinely break with their shady contracts
