1. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

   Stellar88 replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in COVID

   OMG thank you for saying this! It is so annoying how sanctimonious nurses try to act. Like this license wasn’t bestowed upon me like some sort of gift. I earned it myself and paid for it myself, in fact I’m still paying for the damn expensive thing. ...

2. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

   Stellar88 replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in COVID

   WOW! way to add to the already terrible nursing shortage. When this is all said and done there will be even less nurses and even less willing to become one after the horrible way we have been treated. Glad to see you’re doing your part to add to the ...

3. Arrhythmia Assessment for new job

   Stellar88 replied to Stellar88's topic in General Nursing

   These were my exact thoughts on this. I am just very confused by the process. At no point during the hiring process was this mentioned. I don't understand the point of testing me before training me. I never claimed to have ACLS or experience of this ...

4. Arrhythmia Assessment for new job

   Stellar88 posted a topic in General Nursing

   So I’ve been a nurse for a little over a year and I recently moved states. My new job said I would be doing a arrhythmia assessment at my new hire appointment. This is not something I had to do for my last job but I guess it is the norm in this state...

   My license became active yesterday! So a week exactly from the day I tested.

6. Pa Board of Nursing--Transcripts

   Stellar88 replied to nurse1763c's topic in Pennsylvania

   Has anybody had any luck in receiving their license number? I tested on 7/17 (passed according to Quick Results) and need to be licensed to start my job by 7/30.

7. Pa Board of Nursing--Transcripts

   Stellar88 replied to nurse1763c's topic in Pennsylvania

   I finally received my ATT on July 3rd. I called (for the billionth time) and basically refused to get off the phone, asked for a supervisor and let them know my next step was contacting my state representative. I had my ATT about 30 minutes later.

8. Pa Board of Nursing--Transcripts

   Stellar88 replied to nurse1763c's topic in Pennsylvania

   That's awesome! I'm going to make the drive on Thursday. How did it work for you once you got there? Was there a long wait time?

9. Pa Board of Nursing--Transcripts

   Stellar88 replied to nurse1763c's topic in Pennsylvania

   I actually asked about that when I called one time. I am originally from Georgia and just moved to Pa. I asked her if I would be better off just getting my Ga license (because it takes like 2 weeks there tops) and transferring it. She said I could bu...

10. Pa Board of Nursing--Transcripts

    Stellar88 replied to nurse1763c's topic in Pennsylvania

    I'm having the same issue as well. I graduated May 4th and my transcripts and NEV left my school on May 8th. I call almost everyday. One lady finally told me to expect weeks to months of waiting. Even though I had already waited an entire month. It i...

11. PA BON TPP w/Past DUI

    Stellar88 replied to CABGPatchKid's topic in Criminal

    Hi, I am in the exact same boat. I got a DUI 9 years ago in Georgia, I was 21 and stupid and learned my lesson. Now I'm 30 and I feel like I'm still being punished for this mistake from almost a decade ago. I was told all through nursing school that ...

12. Pennsylvania State Boards

    Stellar88 replied to Amarie1878's topic in Criminal

    I am in the same boat. I have an out of state DUI from 9 years ago. I applied for my license on May 1st and still have no answer. After waiting hours on hold with the Pa BON I finally talked to someone, she said I should expect to wait weeks to MONTH...

13. Moved to PA -- Need FBI Fingerprint Checks (???)

    Stellar88 replied to SirJohnny's topic in Pennsylvania

    I have this question also. I'm finishing nursing school in Georgia but applying for my license in Pennsylvania. Georgia requires a finger print based background check sent straight to the BON. However, I can't find any information on what Pa requires...
