   aubsn replied to aubsn's topic in New Nurse

   I'm living about 20 minutes away from my hospital so prices aren't as expensive for more sqft. Also, I have yet to find a reputable breeder without insane prices for puppies so I haven't gotten my puppy yet. I still want to find a puppy but probably ...

2. Converse sneakers at clinicals

   aubsn replied to BlueBoxSearcher's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Go with your school policy definitely. I wore a pair of white leather Nikes for school. I now wear either my older nike running shoes I don't mind getting dirty or my pair of black converse. I'm trying to figure out if I should find a new pair of sh...

   Is the onboarding portal giving anyone else an error message? I've been getting it for a couple days, but want to make sure I'm not the only one before emailing them.

   Yes, neuro or spinal were my top choices for the adult surgical track. However, I really wanted pediatrics originally.

   The links for direct deposit setup and parking are either not working or telling me access is denied. I also can't access the on boarding portal anymore for some reason.

   Is anyone's links for all the on boarding stuff not working or showing that access is denied for some things?

    If you have a multistage license, you should be able to practice in TN for 90 days and just have to fill out the primary residence form. Call the TN BON tomorrow and they should be able to direct you in exactly what you need to do.

    I originally thought I was because my license is in Georgia, which is in the enhanced Nurse License Compact, but because my primary address is in Alabama my license is single state only. However the endorsement for TN requires you to fill out their a...

    I was able to fill out the application and everything in one day. It took some scrambling around town, but it's definitely worth it. When I called the TN BON they said it takes about 6 weeks for everything to go through....so if you get it done quick...

    Pretty sure I want to live with someone too. Coming home to only my pets on hard days and not another person would get quite lonely after a while. I definitely would like to live close enough to walk or use public transit, but right now I don't think...

    The NCLEX is a national test so it does not matter what state you take it in. You can also apply to any state board of nursing. Just contact that board of nursing first to make sure what their procedure/policy is.
