  1. Did or do you work as a CNA in a hospital

    I am now an RN but I started as a CNA in a cardiac telemetry unit while I was in school. I did all the "basic" CNA stuff but it was pretty laid back. I'm really glad I got to work as one before getting my RN because it really helped out a lot. Plus i...
  2. What should I do?

    First off congrats on the career change! To be a CRNA you need at least 1 year of ICU experience. To get ICU experience you usually have to work in another department for AT LEAST one year. So the path is a little longer. Answering your DNP question,...
  3. still no new grad RN job here in the Big Island......

    It may not be the most desirable position but maybe try working as a CNA at a local hospital just to get your foot in the door. For my current position there were over 400 applicants and the only reason I got an interview was because I worked as a CN...
  4. I would go to a community college. If you are worried about your GPA dont even declare that you took previous classes and start fresh. I didn't transfer some units from a previous college I went to and I was fine. You can knock it out in 2 years if y...
  5. My success story. California brn with a dui.

    Update is that I passed my NCLEX (even after 6 months off, you all will do just fine) and I have an interview on Wed.
  6. My success story. California brn with a dui.

    Sorry for the delays in getting back to people. I'm pretty swamped with messages but I'm trying to get back to all of you. You will be denied. That's a fact. However, do not let this get you down because there is a process that you have to go through...
  7. My success story. California brn with a dui.

    Rn,EMT-P. Once you let them know you wish to enter into a stipulated agreement (do this in writing after you get your denial letter) you will have to wait until the attorney generals office recieves your file from the BRN. This will take a few weeks ...
  8. At each facility you apply to make sure that you go in and talk with department managers and sell yourself. With the economy as hard as it is you really have to make yourself stand out among all the other applicants.
  9. Im a new nurse..please help!!!

    My heart goes out to you as I myself have also made poor decisions in my past. However, some times we go through trials in our life for reasons we can not explain. I would keep pressing on. Also, if your record was truly expunged and the BRN didn't c...
  10. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    I got the pop up " Our records show you have previously reregistered ...." and today I found out I passed. A buddy of mine was able to enter his credit card information and he failed. It does work :)
  11. Denied NCLEX by CA BRN due to two DUI's-HELP!

    I would enter into a stipulated agreement with them. If you chose to have a formal hearing the outcome would be the same (probationary license). In my case, I had one DUI and chose to enter into a stipulated agreement. After providing them with solid...
  12. Proof of Rehabilitation for CA BRN

    For DUI or any drug related convictions I would spend the money and get an evaluation done by an addictionologist. With that documentation the BRN would have a hard time denying you based on their thought that you have a problem.
  13. My success story. California brn with a dui.

    Sure. The first thing that will happen is that you will be denied a chance at taking the NCLEX. This will come in the form of a letter from the BRN and at the end it will give you two options. The first is to go to a formal hearing (which can take up...
  14. My success story. California brn with a dui.

    Don't get a lawyer. I was given an unrestricted license. Just expect to wait about 5 to 6 months. Make sure they have proof of completion of your dui class and community service. Lemme know if you have any questions
  15. I just wanted to post some info about the California BRN and dui's since there isn't a lot of information out there. In my 3rd semester of school I made a stupid decision to drink and drive. I got caught and received a misdemeanor. I graduated in Dec...
