California early termination of probation

Published

I was on probation with CA Board of Registered Nursing. I got released from probation 11 months early. In addition, I got accepted to the MSN-FNP program and will start in Fall 2021. Life is good! There is light at the end of the tunnel.

This is unfortunate. 

Yes, it is. I know of a fellow CA probation RN who is currently working with a CA Senator to try and get this changed. If it's passed, it would not go it effect until next year or so, but it would be great if it does!!

At the beginning, my probation monitor already informed me about the option of early termination of probation at 2 years mark. Exactly at 2 years, I filed a petition for early termination of probation with supporting documents from my coworkers and boss. 

Did you submit another Live Scan of your fingerprints? I'm almost at the 2 year mark and want to make sure all my ducks are in a row.

Where did you go to find a job to hire a RN on probation? I have been trying everything I can think of and haven't found a job in a year. My probation monitor tells me she doesn't know who hires. I am about ready to lose everything.  Please help

Only jobs that will hire are those psych facilities, nursing homes where theres short staff or the worst nursing homes out there. Also I heard dialysis hires too and try insurance companies.

Thank you.  I have tried Davita, but they didn't hire me.  I will try those other places. Insurance companies like Blue Cross?

Wow so great to hear a positive story come out of discipline.  Your post gives me hope for the future.  Thank you for sharing, as my probation hasn’t even begun yet I already feel as if I all my nursing aspirations for moving my career forward just aren’t possible now. Like this black stain I’ll always be judged for.  It’s great to hear that there could be a life after this.

I have recently been hired to work as a RN Case Manager for Hospice Home Health. The BRN approved it. Supervisiom includes daily in person check ins at the start of shift, supervisor accompanying me on a visit once every 2 weeks for the first 3 months (then frequency goes down to monthly), and daily phone calls to supervisor at least 2 hrs prior to the end of my shift. There are job options other than SNF but it truly depends on the RN's situation that led to probation, status in the program, etc. Just FYI. There is another Probationary RN at my work as well. I also know of two others who recently applied and were either not offered the position or not allowed to do the position, so it definitely varies.

Honestly just apply, and make sure to call the manager and explain your situation. Not all are the same, there are still managers that will be willing to help and understand your situation. Yea and I agree I think it really depends on what lead you to the probation too.
