Employment verification from Medical Express. Help appreciated.

Employees do not get employment verifications, only employers do. Even then, it is only a telephone verbal. I'm at a bit of a loss about why a BON would need it, usually it is just your word as to the 500 hours worked or whatever. We know that if we are caught in a lie we could lose our livelihood.

But if you have to have it and asking for managers at American Mobile does not work, I might suggest trying a pay stub or W-2. Yet another reason to keep a timecard copy every week - if you have those, that should be good. One final source of proof would be unemployment dept records. They should be able to print out exact dates of employment, employer name, and earnings.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into those. Arkansas requires verification of 1000 hours worked within the last 12 months if you have less than 5 years experience. This is from their website

In accordance with the Arkansas State Board of Nursing Rules, a nurse who is an applicant for licensure by endorsement who has not been engaged in the active practice of nursing for a period greater than five (5) years shall document completion of the following:

a. Active practice of nursing for a minimum of one thousand hours (1,000) within the one year immediately prior to

application. Verification of employment shall be submitted; or

b. Completion of an Arkansas approved refresher course within one (1) year of the date of application; or

c. Graduation from an approved nursing education program within one year of the date of application; and

d. Provide other evidence as requested by the Board.

Active Practice is defined as the act of performing for compensation those acts within specified scope of practice and authorized by the Board.

Do they have a verification form? Otherwise ask what acceptable verfication is.
