   I have worked for a couple of long term care facilities and you will probably be passing meds most of your shift. Just follow the five rights and you will be great. Take your time, you will have a lot of patients. I had to do some wound care too, ...

4. Passed NCLEX, still no license:(

   Shadownurse1543 replied to GODfavorsme!'s topic in Criminal

   In Illinois, there are some past convictions that allow you to still obtain your nursing license. It all depends on what the conviction was for, how long ago it was, and if you jump through their hoops. Keep the faith and keep us posted.

9. Prior Arrest and Nursing

   Shadownurse1543 replied to Shadownurse1543's topic in Criminal

   Maybe I was not clear in my original post. I was arrested when I was 18 for disorderly conduct. There was NO conviction, just an arrest. It was stricken on leave to reinstate which means the courts had the option to reinstate the offense (like if I ...
