nurse on probation in long beach

Hi Msjas. Here in Texas, the BON sits 4 times a year and that is when our agreed orders are ratified and put into effect. I would check your BON website. It will have the schedule when the board sits..It should not take long after that. Good for you and your recovery..we are many in numbers and there is strength here to be gained.

Thanks for the reply. So what happens in the mean time??? What if I am able to secure a job before the board meets? Thanks so much for the info

I think as long as you have a copy of your agreed order with the state to give them with the explanation that it will go into effect shortly after the board sits..it would be very proactive on your part. This is the advice I have been given as my order will not go into effect until Jan 2012. In Texas..it is very rare the board does not ratify a proposed agreed order that the board constructed. I will be so happy to hear of your success in the job hunting as I will share mine as well.

ok gotcha... thanks so much again and I will post as to any updates. I have sent out a lot of resumes and apps via the internet but this week I'm gonna hit the pavement looking for work. I know as long as I stay c&s things will work out.

Hi, I have been reading threads on here and find it very informative. I have just accepted a stipulated agreement with the CA.BON for probation. I had a cocaine possession in 1997 and a dui shortly after that. I have been in residential program and currently have almost a year c & s. I still havent received from the BON the agreement that I settled for (probation). How long does it take to receive that once you have accepted the agreement? I am now searching for a position somewhere (anywhere) but havent had much luck. Are there any nurses here that are from the Long Beach area? It would be great to hear from any of you. Oh and by the way, I completed prop 36 for the felony case and the case was dismissed.. thank goodness for that. Thanks in advance for replying to my post...

Hi..Have you tried putting your resume on career builder, indeed. It's very helpful. You can set up auto updates. Also Healthcare Partners is hiring for Case Manager in Torrance. Providence in Torrance has many positions. Also Fountain Valley Hosp. Good Luck.

Hi, yes I have my resume on career builder and there are lots of places that has tons of positions but it's hard getting my foot in the door because of being on probation. Are the places you mentioned more lenient toward nurses on probation? As far as Case Manager positions, I'm not eligible to work in that capacity because I have to work under another R.N. Thanks a lot for replying I will apply to those places as well.
