Being a traveler, I've had a chance to work in acute care in the North, East, South, and West. One thing I have observed in my travels, MOST hospitals are short staffed and are "desperate" for staff. You are correct in that a market with nursing schools on every street corner, pumping out new grads every few months, will contribute to an "employers" advantage in said market. It stands to reason that if there's 3 of us applying for the same position, and one of us has any disciplinary ding on his/her license, than we pretty much know who's resume will find itself in the circular file. Thanks for your input though...hopefully I'll find someone on here who has found themselves in my shoes and will be able to share words of encouragement or unfortunately, words of doom! Peace....

Ah...the juicy details! The infraction leading up to the termination is irrelovent to the question at hand...lets just say there was no malicious intent and/or harm ever brought to the patient.

terminated by one of the largest hospital companies in the country...company files complaint with my B.O.N. I hire an attorney who specializes in Nursing/B.O.N. litigation. Attorney assures me that my license will remain intact & active, however, I may get a disciplinary ding on my license. Question? How hard will it be to continue my career as a nurse in an acute care environment with a probable ding forthcoming on my license?
