OP Please do not give up on nursing yet. You have so many successes already- you made it through nursing school and passed the NCLEX- not easy to do. I recommend that you try dialysis nursing- Dialysis is very new- graduate friendly. You get paid wh...

Why in the world would you jump immediately to reporting the nurse to the BRN? That is really low and sneaky. If you are so bothered by the behavior, then you should be brave enough to have a 1:1 discussion with the nurse. Also- since discipline is s...

Dealing with the BRN is a completely different experience altogether. Seriously- your friend needs a BRN attorney ASAP!! It is not a level playing field.

This “article” is somewhat confusing. I am not sure if it is it is poorly written or poorly edited. Too bad because I think the author has some interesting points to make.

I agree with you 100%

^^^ this is 100% real

Congratulations ???

^^^ this 100% You showed incredible poor judgement in choosing to use an illegal substance and you definitely have the potential to put the public at risk. SMH

Pretty much the response I expected. LOL

If this is truly the situation at your facility then the issue should not be about you and your desire to stay. The issue is abuse and you can report that now- like right now- to the BRN. Stop worrying about the possibility of losing your job and ste...

Being fired from the dialysis job is going to be used against you- one of the questions on the application to terminate probation asks about any jobs that you have been fired from. Also I am thinking that there were other issues involved in your t...

My probation monitor gave me 3 names of board approved MDs. Contact your probation monitor and good luck. My exam cost me $1500.

Congratulations!! That is an amazing achievement- the CA BRN is tough.

This ^^^100%. If you can do the essential job duties without need for accommodation, you do not have to share any of your medical history.

LOVE this post!! Attitude is a big part of having a successful and fulfilling leitmotif life

I had no additional violations - in fact had “rule out” language in my 3 year agreement. Did my CEU, paid my restitution, had a very expensive mental health/substance abuse evaluation and worked for 6 months (with a supervision requirement and monthl...

I am also in CA and will be able to apply for early release in August- also interested in other CA experiences in this process

NO!! Stay under the radar- let your attorney take care of your paperwork.

This exactly- the BON now sees you as someone unstable with possible psych issues. Get a BRN attorney ASAP. Do not try and deal with the BON on your own.

“Sh** happens- deal with it” - said to me by my nursing preceptor in my leadership clinicals ??

100% correct- I am an adjunct faculty and NCLEX pass rate is discussed at every faculty meeting.
