Medical reserve corps question

[wish_me_luck, BSN, RN]

Hey guys,

So, I want to do a volunteer thing next week. Form asks "do you have an unencumbered medical license?"

Is it general medical license or physician license?

If you are in monitoring is it encumbered?

I have been asking VA BON people and HPMP case manager...I think they were too busy today. It stinks though because it's next week, I think Monday, actually. I need to submit the form tonight.

I hope you get to do it wish me luck. Sounds like a good thing. Where is it at?

[wish_me_luck, BSN, RN]

Sent a PM, GA. :)

I want to submit the application and a job application for a job I want, but I haven't heard from case manager yet. She said Dec. but not a specific date...guess it's ok????

[GA_RN2006]

That's sounds good. I'm sure she'll get back to you. Good luck with everything :)

I believe encumbered means that you have limitations. Do you have limitations on your license?

[wish_me_luck, BSN, RN]

Not that I know of. It is "Valid VA only", that is the only restriction that I know of. But, the event is in VA, so it's still within the state. I put in the application. There was a box for additional info. I explained there and sent an email to the contact person explaining it again. I told her that I am being upfront with it and I am not sure if I am still eligible, but it is what it is.

I answered this question as no. I have no restrictions . When it asks if I have discipline against my license I say yes.

[wish_me_luck, BSN, RN]

I don't even have an action against it. In VA, there's an order and an action. I know they are different because I have seen licenses on the look up with both. Mine just says an order.

[MichelleRN34, ADN, RN]

I have disciplinary action every since I surrendered my license

[wish_me_luck, BSN, RN]

Okay, reply back from local Medical reserve corps-- the license is encumbered when it has any restriction on it, even being valid in only one state. So, having an order alone, without action, is still encumbered. I can participate, however, if my case manager/HPMP approves. Just in VA though.
