Hello! I was placed on monitoring for a year that includes every 3 months a nurse performance evaluation because I was arrested at 18 for a misdemeanor but it was deferred, however the board still put stipulations for my license (nothing related to drug use) . I took my NCLEX in February and passed, started work at a SNF in april because all the hospitals I applied to said I didn't get the job (I think because of the stipulations). I still have 9 months of monitoring but I was wanting to see if there is hope to get into a hospital when this is all over. I'm a licensed registered nurse in Texas. My dream is to work obgyn (L&D or Postpartum) because I wish to become a womens health nurse practitioner.. I've read some people say they had a hard time getting into a hospital after the stips were off so I wanted to see if anyone had a good outcome after being board ordered. Thank you so much for your time in reading this and replying.. I appreciate it!

Hi everyone. I am a new graduate from a ADN program in TX. I sit for my nclex middle of February! 6 years ago I got into a fight with my now husband and took a deferred adjudication for my case, however no conviction but BON gave me 1 year order with stipulations. I’ve read some forums stating their orders say they must be under an RN watch for the entire year. I’ve read my order over and over and I don’t see that in mine. What wording did they use if you have that stipulation? It just states that I must work a minimum of 64 hrs a month, take 2 classes during the year and every 3 months my job has to send out a report of how I’m doing. Now I’ve applied to HCA 3 different positions but no luck landing a job. I’m honest upfront and bring a copy of my board orders. I’ve read to try ltc and snf. I applied to kindred in my area, no call back yet.. anyone with stipulations land a job at kindred? Nursing homes in my area I find on indeed says good standing license so that puts me out. I don’t know if I should try home health. Read that the hardest part is the long documentation.. anyone with stips like me and landed a job? Also so I wait until I pass nclex and have my liscense number to apply. That way potential employers know for a fact I’m licensed? Just seeking support and advice! Thanks so much!
