    Criminal History

    It's not just the school OP needs to worry about. There are schools out there who are all about the money they can make- it doesn't matter to them if a graduate can't become licensed as long as...

    Criminal History

    Have you contacted the BON of your state? They can provide you with feedback as to whether or not those old convictions can affect your ability to become licensed. Just because a school will accept...

    Be honest: do you feel valued by your employer?

    Nope. I'm a warm body who provides the work, but am seen as a drain on profits because I'm lumped in with the cost of everything else. Our executives actually get bonuses based on how much they've...

    Can you cancel your license

    Extra Pickles specifically stated not letting a license lapse or expire because of having to retake NCLEX. I don't think anyone is misunderstanding the

    What's In A Name Badge?

    Regarding last names, why is that nurses shouldn't have to reveal them? All physicians do, since they go by Dr. Whatsis. Besides, patients have a right to know who is providing their care. Even if you...

    Nursing School in One State but Moving to Another

    NCLEX is a national exam- you can take it anywhere it's offered and it won't matter. What matters is where you apply for licensure, which is a completely separate application from NCLEX- the...

  13. Other than posting here, what are you doing to find out the status of your license? Have you directly contacted the BON? Have you hired a lawyer to help guide you through the process? If you want...

    Herniated Disk and Physical Demands of Nursing

    Have you spoken with your healthcare provider to seek treatment for your back issues? Whether that would involve therapy, injections, surgery, or a combination, it is prudent to follow your provider's...

    Can you cancel your license

    Please provide a source for this claim. NCLEX is a national exam; why would one be forced to take it again simply because a licenses lapsed in a state in which one was not working? Applying for...

    Undocumented Patients

    My job is to provide patient care. I don't care if the patient is in the country legally or illegally, if they are insured or uninsured, or any other information that isn't relevant to the performance...
  18. Have you checked online? Updates online via the system the state uses for verification of licenses is often updated much faster than a paper copy (if it's even still issued) can be mailed out. Beyond...

    RN salary expectations

    OP never specified what type of area. The salaries you mentioned are in cities. If OP is in a rural area, particularly in the midwest, with a lower cost of living, $22 may indeed be adequate and in...

    Protection for nurses by state

    Each state indeed has protections for nurses: they're called the Nurse Practice Acts (or whatever lingo the state chooses to use). Follow that NPA and facility policy, and the chance of a lawsuit...

    Let The Good Times Roll!

    I think this is something that needs to be discussed between patient and provider. The provider is the one with knowledge of the specifics of the surgery, the patient's history, the expected...

    Can you cancel your license

    Hppy, that was my first thought as well. Letting a license expire is fine; I can think of no justifiable reason to make it like a license never

    Do mandated reporter laws cross state lines?

    Aged Care Duty of care question
