I'm completing a senior preceptorship and I have an adult patient who told me his parents are from Iran. I know that there culture is very conservative or Arabic, so I've been trying to communicate with the patient in Arabic. It hasn't been working a...

I am non-binary but perceived as male by society.

You should invest your time into learning Arabic and it will help you on your nursing exams. thank me later

Agreed. As nurses we must keep cultural differences in mind when dealing with Arab people.

I failed in February and still have not received ATT for retake. I paid Pearson another $200 in February. I just tried to go through the "RN reapply examination" process on the breeze site and it prompted me to pay $250. Do I need to pay $250 as a re...

I graduated from a BSN program in December and I was expecting my application for licensure to take until at least March to process. I was surprised when I already got my ATT... I didn't study for this. I had to move to a new place and start a new jo...

I'm really depressed because I don't want to have to deal with this test again. I took it for the first time this morning and it cut me off after 75 questions. There were a lot of questions I guessed on. I did the PVT trick twice using a wrong expira...

no

I took the exam this week for the first time. I graduated from a BSN program in December and studied a little. I started out with easy/common sense questions that made me feel confident I was going to pass, then it started asking many SATA questions ...

Hi, what state did you test in? I tested on Wednesday in California and got the bad pop up several times when trying to register again. I don’t know why it would give me (or us) that pop up unless we failed. I wonder if it could be because of where I...

My application was approved recently. Faster than I expected.

I applied for RN licensure by examination in California in December and my application still has a pending status. It says they are missing my transcripts and fingerprints. My university electronically sent them my transcripts and I submitted my fing...

Update: I graduated from nursing school and selected “no” when asked about my criminal history on the application for licensure. My application was approved/ I cleared the background check. I wasn’t kicked out of nursing school either, just from a cl...

I went to a BSN program and had clinical placements at like 10 different facilities, many of them in different cities. I would agree with the Dean's suggestion that it probably won't be an issue. During COVID we often had to do clinicals online so yo...

Let's say I was convicted of the charge and served my sentence but have to register as a sex offender for life. Can I still be a nurse if I have recommendation from a psychologist or other health professionals as evidence of rehabilitation?

I guess they were being brash and weren’t concerned about how their choice of words can make me feel or look. I was having an argument with the professor who said I was two-faced and he was trying to discredit me. I was trying to argue that I wasn’t ...

Fair guess, but that clinical instructor never knew me and was a different faculty member from the ones who said I'm inconsistent or two-faced. She had no involvement with me from previous semesters and knew nothing about me. By the way, I didn't est...

On a related note, I was running late to clinical one day and didn't leave my phone in my car as I was supposed to. My instructor asked me if I had my phone and I responded, "no. I mean, yes." She tried to text another instructor that I lied to her a...

There was a concern that I was having issues in the clinical setting and that it may be related to my parents being from Iran. A professor had read about it and made the remark that I seemed two-faced because I had allegedly said that I didn't wish t...

You might be on to something. Professors had noted that I was "two-faced" and "inconsistent with information." It was one concern of many. A little strange that they graduated me from their program in spite of that.

Weird. I had a nursing professor tell me Iranians are Arab and speak Arabic. It was something I learned in my first semester of nursing school.

It's because I had posted on this website years ago after being kicked out of a clinical rotation and many of the responses I received were upsetting to me. I wanted to see how people would react to this post since this is a sensitive subject matter ...

I was putting myself in his shoes. His husband told me he is a bit of a "people-pleaser" and wanted attention from these friends that were giving him the porn. Anyway, the person who this happened to is retired, in his 70s, and has a 6 figure pension...

Honestly, this didn't really happen to me. A friend of mine has a husband who got in trouble for this. I believe he had some friends overseas who were trading obscene materials with him which he got busted for. He's not a pervert nor did he enjoy the...

I was released from the hospital after a 72 hour hold. I just submitted my fingerprints to the BRN in CA 2 days before I was detained. I'm a new grad. I am worried the BRN will see that this happened. I was detained by patrol officers at the Golden G...
