6. New RN having trouble getting employment with misdemeanor

   dukes217 replied to Jjackson225's topic in Criminal

   Let me guess, you are from Indiana? That is the only state I know that is given out probationary license with those special stipulation. If you never find a job, you'll never get off probation. It's a total set up IMO. I know of one person out of 5 o...

    dukes217 replied to morecoffeepls's topic in Criminal

    I read your post and you said you had misdemeanors not felonies, so which is it? I'm not being mean, I'm just not understanding what you said in other post.

    dukes217 replied to adoglover's topic in General Nursing

    Yes Ruby your correct. But what if one of your loved ones get punished for having one bad night of poor judgement. How would you feel then? especially if you know that was out of character for that person? I've personally worked with nurses and docs...

    dukes217 replied to adoglover's topic in General Nursing

    This law states that anyone with a forcibly felony will have their license revoked, not just against a patient, AGAINST ANYONE!! Personally I think the law sucks b/c law makers made the law to broad when they added any felony against anyone. This co...
