I drive a boat (its a Yukon Denali) and its costs me $100.00 to drive and from Columbus, Ohio from Cincinnati, Ohio with the escalating gas prices. However I like to attend the Ohio Board of Nursing Meetings. I attend at least one day out of two to obtain an update on my active cases from the Board attorney, observe the Board of Nursing Meeting, and catch up with colleagues like Jan Lanier with the Ohio Nurses Association (www.ohnurses.org), Wynne Simpkins with RWS Education (www.rwseducation.com) and Pam Dickerson with PRN Education (www.prnce.com).
The first day of the Ohio Board of Nursing meeting is always on the same day as the Indiana Board of Nursing meeting so I have to pick one. I will be at the Kentucky Board of Nursing office one day next week ($100.00) and one day the following week ($100.00). I also have to drive to Columbus, Ohio sometime this month again for a meeting with Ohio Board of Nursing staff regarding one of client's who is on probation ($100.00).
Its cost me about $100.00 in gas to drive from Cincinnati, Ohio to Louisville, Kentucky. The same to drive from Cincinnati, Ohio to Indianapolis, Indiana for the Indiana Board of Nursing meetings. I am not complaining because living in Cincinnati, Ohio facilitates a tri-state legal practice for me. And don't tell me to downsize to a smaller vehicle because I do alot of highway driving and I don't want to be swept off the road by a semi and I don't want to turn the AC off to pass another vehicle.
I would suggest that you attend your state board of nursing meeting at least once a year. Its informative and I am sure you will learn something that you didn't know about the regulation of nursing practice in your state. Hopefully attending a Boarde of Nursing meeting will not cost you $100.00 in gas!
I want to know if it is legal for an R.N. to allow a teacher (history} or a teacher's aide to administer medications at a high School? Thanks.
