Newly Licensed Practical Nurse from Athena Career Academy

Published

Specializes in S.N.& LTC- Hospital.

I just passed the Nclex on 06/14/2014 with 85 questions, I took the boards for Ohio to keep my IV certification; I am planning on endorsing my license to Michigan ( I live here in MI), My question is, Will I get hired here in MI if I am licensed in OH?

You will need a Michigan nursing license in order to legally practice nursing in Michigan. An Ohio license is not valid in Michigan since neither state is part of the Nursing Licensure Compact.

Are you class 1409 ? Have you took your drug test n background yet ? If so did you go the same day you paid ? Did it take long and someone said they do blood, that's not true is it and said they watched them... It was a girl saying this at the school lol

Yes, I'm in the Day classes. I finished all the steps needed to start classes. For the background check and drug test you basically go to the school pay the 85 dollars and they give you a voucher to go to the site and get everything done there. They don't do blood tests, but they do your fingerprints and take a urine sample for the drug test.
