    Wizard 1 replied to paidmydues's topic in Nurses Recovery

  11. How Could She Have Died?

    Wizard 1 replied to Tina Hayes's topic in Ob/Gyn

  14. post consent agreement=unencumbered

    Wizard 1 replied to Gino Vizzini's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm pretty sure that even if the licensure status is unencumbered, it stays on NPDB. It also stays on Nursys.com and more than likely can be found on the state's licensure site. Nursys and state...

  17. INPRP completion anyone?

    Wizard 1 replied to IN nurse for now's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wouldn't think they'd Spring that on you the last minute. Usually if something's wrong you'd have been notice. This close to your contract end date, I'd say that you're probably OK if you've...

    Wizard 1 replied to INdyRN39's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'd be very assertive about finding out what is going on here. Do you have it in writing that you're supposed to be tested X amount of times? Did they give you a number? I'd be very surprised if...

    Wizard 1 replied to IN nurse for now's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had to be pushier than I felt I needed to be, and eventually contact the program director, who confirmed I was eligible for completion and I got the completion letter within the hour. This was not...

  20. They should be force to retire

    Wizard 1 replied to apnurserock's topic in Retired Nurses

    Funny that states are now calling doctors and nurses who have retired to come and help care for Covid-19 patients. Age has nothing to do with this. Remember that if one lives long enough,...
