Cgfns deficiency

[Valerio L, BSN, RN]

I'm going to receive a job offer from an hospital in PA. I'm going to get my BSN evaluated but I already know that I'll have some deficiency since in my university the RN are not allowed to join the paediatric ward ( just the paediatric nurse are allowed ) and the ob-gyn ( just the midwife or some girl nurse student ). Since I can't ask my university to join these rotation since I have the BSN, how can I integrate the deficiency? And who has the final word in my evaluation? Cgfns or board of nursing?

Hello, I have the same problem as you. Did you get this sorted out? How did you make up for your deficiency?

Hi! I'm in the same situation where the state I'm in they want me to go back to nursing school to make up my mental health clinical hours deficiency. I'm an RN from ?? and completed the NCLEX. Were you able make up your deficiency?

I once knew a UK nurse who didn't have enough hours psychiatry. She wrote places asking to do an unpaid placement and a psychiatric hospital accepted her to do the number of hours required, giving her a written statement that she'd undertaken x hours of training in their establishment. This was several years ago but just wondering if this would still be accepted? Most units are glad to have a free pair of hands for a while.

Honestly this sounds like a good idea, I'm going have to reach out to the BON to see if they'd even accept it from the hospital. Thanks!

Hi, are you currently a student or a registered nurse working in general adult? I had this problem as I was MH, but I added adult as a top up (I no I'm still missing child). But maybe you could do a short child top up course? Or the masters?
