2. Typical Day at Work?

   Platinum_One replied to RN1485's topic in Psychiatric

   Sorry to hear this. Leaving at 6 …yikes! Seems to me that the facility is not staffed appropriately/workload is not distributed efficiently. I've never worked in a state hospital before, so I am unsure if this is typical or not. I agree. Nothing w...

3. Have a few questions about obtaining in VA license by endorsement

   Platinum_One replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in Virginia

   I obtained my Va license via endorsement back in 2013. It's fairly easy and had a quick turnaround time (about a week or so). If I recall correctly, I didn't have to go get fingerprinted. KellyRN is right. Easiest way is to call. I had a question as ...

   Platinum_One replied to nvsmom's topic in Pennsylvania

   I can understand this thought process. I have been there myself. I just keep in mind that you never know where life will take you. Give 100% to the choices you make...this way if you decide to take another turn later, there will be no regrets. I once...

    Platinum_One replied to nvsmom's topic in Pennsylvania

    Accepted! :) I applied for the BSN only (originally planned on applying for the BSN/MSN this year, but was not able to take the GRE before the due date). I was wait-listed last year, but applied again this year... with success! Here are my stats: BF...
