I am not going to vote because I can see both sides. However, I wanted to throw out this suggestion- have you looked into being a CSAC? It is a certified substance abuse counselor. I know that many,...

It looks like after HPMP completion, the information is hidden. I looked up someone's license I know has done HPMP before and the first time was hidden. I have no idea if it stays in NURSYS though....

1 5 different healthcare systems (including state health depts in the count), not sure how many individual hospitals, community service boards, and health depts 2 1 new grad and 12 regulars (post...

My comment is a general one, not directed at jadelpn. The suicide is selfish sentiment is a common thought with people.

As a person who has attempted suicide before, I am very tired of hearing the "selfish" thing. I think most surviving family members (of people who completed suicide) are very selfish. Where were they...

I have no idea if it is permanent. I have not gotten that far yet. I do know that it will be public info for the 5 years you are in HPMP. I know that once you complete HPMP that a person can be...

First, I have no idea what you are in HPMP for. That being said, yes, it might be true that you may never have to go before the Board; however, once you agree to HPMP, instead of going before the...

OP, being honest, if you want to work in a doctor's office and want to be a nurse, be an LPN. Most doctor's offices do not hire RNs. I have to agree with chris's post though (the first reply).

GrnTea, I disagree on the work experience thing. If you are new to nursing, you won't have nursing experience. If you do not list your other work experience, it makes it look like you have never had...

I was doing a job one time and I had just finished nursing school (my Bachelor's--I now have my license as an RN). The person had asked me what kind of nursing my degree was for (he didn't know it...

Marshall, in some states, if a healthcare provider (physician, nurse, etc.) goes in-patient, then the treating psychiatrist has to report them, by law. It's their license or yours, basically. Other...

I am not trying to be rude and I know this is a big decision, but is it possible to move closer to your work so you don't have the really long commute? Also, have you looked into private...

sgrondahl, I do not think they can turn people down; however, I think people are going to be paying out the behind for coverage to a point where it's not worth it. sneeds, I am involved with NAMI....

That's sad about the burial plots with only the medical record number. I feel like in the decades (and centuries) that have past, we should have gotten over this big fear of mental illness. It seems...

anotherone, the thing that bothers me more than the diagnosis staying with me forever is that a Board Order (thus the diagnosis in the order) cannot be revised/changed or taken down if someone gets a...

dirtyhippiegirl, recurring theme? Mental health? That theme? Because I have a mental health issue that was made public (I did put the thread in the forum Nurses with Disabilities). I can't really...

I believe you have to have so many posts before you can PM members.

I think Chemistry is important. Not only does it help with dimensional analysis; but also, I think it is helpful in understanding fluid and electrolyte imbalances. Just my opinion though.

I didn't gain weight in nursing school either. Actually, I have been out of school for a year (and have yet to land my first nursing job) and gained around 15 pounds. I actually have found that...

buckeye, I have noticed that many people with a mental health diagnosis do best when given PRN or part time work. It has worked out that way for me, as well. However, I personally plan on working...

what RNandlovingit said; plus, it is really nice if you live on a state line and the facility is on the opposite side of the state line than where you live. The compact license prevents you from...

BrazilianTeresa, where are you though? Big cities and certain states, such as California, New York, Illinois, etc. are hard to find employment in generally. It has nothing to do with age, amount of...

Both of the PP are correct. Also, perhaps the CNA who has only been there for 3 weeks has previous CNA experience? That makes a big difference because it could be that they are good at the CNA work...

Have you applied for licensure with the Washington Board of Nursing?

Is it possible to apply PRN or part time for a float pool position at a local hospital?
