   Because they didn;t have that requirement before, but are now changing the rules and denying licenses in some states to those who have been licensed and practicing for many years.

2. Oklahoma Board and Excelsior

   DLPrice replied to DLPrice's topic in Oklahoma

   Could it be we were WORKING NURSES (LPNs) going through the training? I'll bet you're one of those BSNs that had loads of clinical training and textbook study that I used to run in to all the time with NO practical knowledge. But of course, they alwa...

3. Oklahoma Board and Excelsior

   DLPrice replied to DLPrice's topic in Oklahoma

   You don't know me, my practice, or any of the other graduates of the program. So how dare you insinuate I'm not qualified to work as an RN without further training? I have been practicing 11 years as an RN with no disciplinary actions or lawsuits. So...

4. Oklahoma Board and Excelsior

   DLPrice replied to DLPrice's topic in Oklahoma

   Do you have the name of the contact person there you arranged that with, and how long ago was that? I'm checking to see if the facility is desperate enough to negotiate the cost of the preceptorship, which is certainly fair when we are talking about ...

   Once you did that, were you able to get a temp permit right away?

6. Oklahoma Board and Excelsior

   DLPrice replied to DLPrice's topic in Oklahoma

   Where did you do it and how much did it cost? I was under the impression it would be two weeks on some kind of weird schedule with OB and I have to do psych also. Although even if I could do it quickly, there's a principle. And making someone with 7 ...

7. Oklahoma Board and Excelsior

   DLPrice replied to DLPrice's topic in Oklahoma

   You know what, nevermind. If the board in Oklahoma wants to decide that my education is inadequate and I'm not competent to practice as a nurse without going back to school, I'll go elsewhere. Even California is grandfathering in Regents nurses and I...

   DLPrice posted a topic in Oklahoma

   I'm an Excelsior-educated ADN RN trying to come to Oklahoma for a travel assignment. I have been an RN for 11 years, and was an LPN for four years before that. Am I correct in understanding that the Oklahoma Board has decided that my education was so...

9. Any New Zealand nurses from the US?

   DLPrice replied to nikonos's topic in International

   I am a US ADN and was able to get licensed in NZ, so unless something has changed in the last couple of years, you shouldn't have a problem. They do recognize that the US has a 2-year RN training program. And once you get the NZ registration, Oz reci...

11. Aged Care in NZ

    DLPrice replied to DLPrice's topic in International

    I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong place (the link above didn't work) but all I see are general resources about registration and immigration for NZ. I really want to get some firsthand accounts from people who have worked or are working in aged...

    DLPrice posted a topic in International

    Hello! I'm a US nurse who is looking at moving to NZ and jobs in aged care. I'm not too keen on hospitals and haven't worked in acute care for several years, so I would rather work with a lower acuity. Can anyone tell me a bit about the work conditio...

    DLPrice replied to Susan 1's topic in Australia

    I was wondering if there are any US nurses here who could give me a comparison of working conditions in NZ (ratios, acuity, etc.) I'm particularly looking for info on working in nursing homes, or aged care. Thanks! Diana
