Good daY. I graduated in 2013 but failed in the Philippines NLE. I want to re-take the exam again this year. I went to PRC and asked me for my notice of admission. Does someone know how I would be able to apply without it? thank you.

Good day everyone. I would like to ask if you have turn team assignment that will turn patients every 2H to prevent skin breakdown. We have only 4-5 staff working in our unit (24 beds). Oftentimes, we have 11-15 patients that needs to be turn but having only 4-5 staff doesn't seem attainable especially if we have to clean and change the patients. Kindly share your thoughts or practice.. thank you.

Hi everyone. I need your help. My sister graduated in 2012- BSN. She failed the NLE once and didn’t retake it. Now, she’s working as a cashier. Life’s been treating her hard. She wants to retake her NLE but the question is … does she need to go back to school to study the whole program? Or does she need to just review and look for review centers in the Philippines? Does PRC regulations need some type of documentation that my sister have gone through remedial classes? I would really appreciate your responses here. Thank you.

Good day everyone. My sister applied for NCLEX and got her ATT when she was in the Philippines. However, she just recently moved to UK. If she can take the NCLEX to UK, will Pearson Vue accept her ID showing her previous address or is it the present address that should be in the identification? Thank you.

I try to apply for a nursing job or a pct/cna. It is very very very hard. They will ask why I was terminated... and so far no luck.

I did check my license status online and it's clear. I don't know if I should be happy or not. I kept wondering whether it is safe for me to go ahead and try to apply or just sit here and wait for that letter. My employer told me to self-report myself to the board before the board received their complaint.

good day everyone. some of you may have read my previous post. It's been a month now and I still have not received an investigation letter after my employer terminated me from my job. I am so scared to apply for a nursing job because I don't want to end up quitting if the investigation letter arrives. It is grueling to wait and have no enough income coming in. I don't know if my employer already reported me and that maybe the board just take a long time to review or send the letter? i wish there's a timeline but i don't think there is. i need to know what you guys think and what's the right thing to do. Thank you.

Good day everyone i would like to know when will i received an investigation letter. It's been a month now that I was terminated from the hospital. I don't know if I should apply for a nursing job ... i am concerned if il apply for a nursing job and end up quitting when the investigation letter arrives. I dont know if the hospital already filed complaints against me and the boards just take so long to review and send the letter. I wish there's timeline. please help me. thank you.

It is almost a month now that I don't have a job. My lawyer told me not to self report myself to the board but until now I don't received an investigation letter. He said I could apply for a nursing job but I am scared because what if I already got the job and then the investigation letter would come in. I don't know what to do.

Thank you all for your help. You are all a blessing to me. Right now I am looking for attorney and keeping my fingers crossed that the board will not received my former employers complaints first. I truly appreciate the help. God bless you all.

My husband called me at work and told me he was missing his xanax in his pill box. I told him i took the sleep aid. He told me i may have takent the xanax. But then my co- worker noticed i was slow and she confronted me about it . It occurred to me that i may have taken it. Got reported. Supervisor asked me about whats going on and between what my husband said and the observation from my coworkers. I did say i took one. But that was after-the-fact. I wasnt send home and she let me finished my shift. My husband and i married for 5 years now and i know his medications. I shouldn't have decide to take the sleep aid but i was so desperate to get sleep knowing i am scheduled for 5 nights that week. I really thought it was the sleep aid i took but apparently not. It doesnt only cost me my job but my trip to see my family in another country in next 2 weeks.

I agree. I guess I'm just very sensitive right now. Sorry

Thank you LisaCar130. I'm in Florida. They have IPN here but I've read that it cost $30,000 and monitoring for 5 years. My other question is if i signed up for the IPN does that mean I have to be here in Florida? My husband and I were planning to move to Colorado.

I am not here to be scolded or to be questioned. I own my mistake. Healthcare professionals like us know that medication errors can happen any time and even at home. I hope you don't experience what I've been through right now. If you dont have pleasant or nice to say just dont say it please.

Thats what really happened though. My supervisor reported me but did not send me home. I worked the whole shift.

6 hours before work. Around 1pm and had to work at 7p

Thank you.

thank you my friends. I really appreciate your help and response. I truly am scared how much time frame the hospital give me to self report to the BON because HR told me it shouldn't be after their complaints.

I appreciate your response. Is it ok if il tell you the whole story why I am asking this question? I really need help right now

good day everyone. i need your help. the hospital where Im working let me go due to violation of policy. My husband has a sleeping disorder, he have 3 sleeping meds. 2 of which are prescribed and 1 is OTC. I meant to grab the OTC out his medication box and unfortunately took the wrong one. Both has the same color. It was certainly an error but not intentionally. when i went to work i was slower than usual and my colleagues noticed that i was off. I didn't think I was and my head was clear in fact, i didnt have mistakes. my supervisor asked me if i am ok and i was truthful and told her what happen. she reported me and drug test came back positive for a prescribed medication. the hospital is zero tolerance so they let me go though I worked the entire shift with no mistakes and I was not sent home even after my supervisor knew what happened. so now i am ask to self report to the BON. HR told me that i need to do it before their complaints because it would not be good for me. I asked her if theres a time frame because I would like to utilize my membership and assistance of the state nursing association before i report to BON or to the IPN however, they just told me as soon as possible. they terminate me yesterday friday and now its weekend. The state nurses association is closed by monday and I am freaking out because I am scared that their complaints would get to the BON first. I need your help everyone. I have read online that before doing anything consult a legal counsel. I am thinking of just running away and move to other countries as I am so sick that this happen in my life. its very painful. thank you

Hi everyone. I would like to ask. I have a nursing license in Saipan. I endorsed it to the Florida BON and now I have nursing license in Florida. Does that mean I cant be able to use my nursing license in Saipan anymore? Saipan is not a state but I am wondering if its deactivated after I endorsed it to Florida. or Does that mean I have 2 nursing license?
