I was in Mobile, Alabama in 2017. It was an African-American gentleman who cooked my vegetable fried rice.

You have to look into the cause of the problem. Yeah...some lack of diversity; but some zip codes are predominately white, black, Hispanic or Asian only; and you cannot force some companies to hire nurses from different racial backgrounds in that sit...

I went through the 2008 housing bubble. We had so many hospitals closing in New York City as well as across the Hudson River into New Jersey. It looks like we will have another economic slow down right after the November election. If you ...

1199 is good! Go for it.

Some patients and their husbands will definitely ask for female nurses in L&D Units. Therefore, you will need to prepare for rejection.

I hope this is not late. I was a LPN licensed in New York. I became an RN in 2004. I am also licensed in California, Texas, Alabama and Georgia by endorsement. Originally, I finished my AAS degree in New York City and passed my NCLEX in New York. ...

Anyone knows the patient ratio there at St. Francis Medical Center located in Lynwood, Los Angeles area? There will be no written confirmation for an orientation date. Is this what hospitals do in California?

Misinformation and lying are his specialties; but people will still vote for him next month...unfortunately!

You must disclose it. Period.

If you quit your job now, your boss can report you. Stay there for another 2 months, then quit. It is politics, you have to learn how to play it.

Yes, you should say something if you see something that is not rights during CPR or ACLS.

Don't worry about it! It is her right to report it. BON receives hundred of thousands of c/o every year. You will be safe!

Don't tell me you have never seen a racist nurse in your life!!!!

As of yesterday, how the virus spread is still a speculation. Where is the virus coming from is also a speculation. Just be careful when you posted something like this. Other nurses do have the right to question your ability to think clearly. If I vi...

I am 55 years old and graduated from an RN school 17 years ago. I do have many years experiences in various fields. I remember that I had a face to face job interview in one of the hospitals inside the Texas Medical Center. It was dated back to 8/5/...

The most horrible thing is that when you are giving up your hope! This is America. There is always a hope somewhere but you have to look for it. Just don't give up.

I would say my girlfriend or boyfriend or whatever that might be c/o having me working night shift. See if that will work. You will also need to leave an option to the hiring nursing manager by saying "I prefer night shift and that is my first choice...

Well, when you have an arrest record, that "arrest" record will follow you around in county, state as well as federal levels. On the other hands, if you are not arrested, it is only pop up on a county level where the "crimes" you were committed.

First, I am not a lawyer. But if you were not arrested and only "fine and cost," you probably did not even have a criminal background. Were you fingerprinted or booked? If not, I think you shouldn't worry. I live in the South and all moving traffic ...

Also, different states have different opinions about nurses with criminal histories. It is really case-by-case. You have to show the board that you are really a changing person. You will need to start it all over again. Doing volunteer work somewhere...

Thank you for sharing! I am happy to see a happy ending. Let's look forward! This is America and no one can tell you what is not possible in your life. ?‍?

This section is about sharing your experience. Asking for a legal advice is not the place to being with. You can ask a lawyer who is specialized in nursing field. I am sure someone out there will be able to answer your questions. However, there is an...

That is the way is. With all these technologies around, in the future, human nurses will be replaced by robotics. Do you know artificial intelligence can now think on its own? Also, some robot can even walk like a human. You can check that out or goo...

Just be honest. Explain everything in detail when you answer the questions! Some nursing jurisdictions will use both fingerprinted based and name based criminal background checks. If it is a name based, your case will pop up. If you were arrested/fin...
