    NCLEX w/o graduating

    Mergirlc replied to Crazy Person 999's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Probably not. Majority of schools always have some type of exit exam one must pass. If you do not pass, contact your professors or the director and ask if you can retake it, even if you have to...

    Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Post-Master's PMHNP Certificate Fall 2023

    Mergirlc replied to FNPRCPR's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    @FNPRCPR I'm in California. By any chance, do you recall if this list had placements way out here? Also, once they provide you with this placement list, is it guaranteed placement through JHU?...

    Prior employer restricting EPIC access for new job/employer

    Mergirlc replied to pastudent's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^^ Agree w/ the above. It's not the EPIC EHR company which is preventing you from working. It's your previous employer's healthcare/hospital/facility and/or healthcare system and its possible...

    Prior employer restricting EPIC access for new job/employer

    Mergirlc replied to pastudent's topic in General Nursing

    Based on what you added above, there may be some things to consider as to why the other RNs were removed, while you have not been. Were the other RNs regular employees who worked for the hospital and...

    Prior employer restricting EPIC access for new job/employer

    Mergirlc replied to pastudent's topic in General Nursing

    This does not strike me as retaliation. If you did not give four weeks notice and that is what your prior job required, then for their records they put you on the "do not rehire" list and that is...

    ER NP Position

    Mergirlc replied to NazNaz's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've never worked in the ER, but I do have two former classmates who became NPs alongside me and went to the ER. One of them had 3 months of training and the other had 4 months before going solo. Of...

    Misleading Employment contract

    Mergirlc replied to Robert Ocampo's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried applying to or are able to go further north? Sometimes in places such as Redding or those surrounding areas, there may be opportunities because not as many people live up

    US Nursing Recent Grad Moving to UK

    Mergirlc replied to RNstudent_SarBear's topic in United Kingdom

    I know nothing about UK nursing, but I might suggest if you can stay and get maybe 2 or so years experience in the USA first, this would be in your favor. Based on the various posts I've come...

    AANP verification for CA NP application

    Mergirlc replied to daram's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know the CA BON typically prefers forms to be submitted online. However, I cannot verify whether this form is one of those. Best to contact the CA BON via email. They usually don't take too long...

    You're definitely doing the right thing by trying to track down family members. Thank you for being proactive. What is wrong w/ DCF!?!?!? Are there any direct senior-related agencies in your...

    New Graduate Nurse Job Search

    Mergirlc replied to Rockysanz's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, a lot of the rejection is more than likely due to not having passed NCLEX yet. Of course, it could always be other things such as your résumé. Even though residencies realize there are many...

    Graduated 2021 - 3 years passed and Failed NCLEX on anniversary day - Can I take it in another state?

    Mergirlc replied to Gabe01's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Three years is a long time to go without practicing or working as a RN -- a new grad RN, at that. To top it off, it's a lot of time to forget a lot of material. If you already had a few years...

    Interviewing for a job I don't want?

    Mergirlc replied to Ran2323's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    " .....But my last job made me so unhappy and I don't want that same thing to happen. I am still considered a new grad and don't even have a year under my belt, but I've seen so many young, new nurses...

    Misleading Employment contract

    Mergirlc replied to Robert Ocampo's topic in General Nursing

    Agree w/ the others - attorney time. Hopefully you have your own nursing insurance; if so, give the company a call. Your insurance might be able to help guide you or at least give you some names of...

    So hard for new nurse

    Mergirlc replied to jenny102235's topic in General Nursing

    "The DOC stated that I was not meeting the job requirements, citing that I sometimes speak and act too quickly and highlighting the doctor's feedback. I truly feel that they are discriminating against...

    Leaving ED Orientation for another unit.

    Mergirlc replied to Jennynewrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    6 weeks isn't that long to wait it out and then transfer. A lot of these interview situations usually take 4 to 6 weeks to process anyway, so by the time your orientation is done, you'd probably be...

    Mergirlc replied to arlingtonnurse's topic in School

    I took swimming as a PE choice in high school and the instructor (male) had a meeting w/ the girls and let it be known when we were menstruating, we did have the choice to not swim and could sit it...

    Mergirlc replied to FNPRCPR's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Piggybacking on what city_FNP said..... if you are licensed in another state which accepts JHU's program: could you go do clinical rotations in MD for the post-certificate AND does JHU help or have...

    Is it worth it at this point?

    Mergirlc replied to stargurl2006's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are you currently working in your speciality as a nurse? Could you ask your manager or whomever is in charge if there's a possibility of you staying on as a NP there? Another alternative is, if...
