  1. Why is getting my IL RN license so hard?

    jschut replied to 0603lcs's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I don't understand what is Failed or Rejected....? But as far as fingerprints go, I had to do mine, and I am sure that has not changed. Get your background check done and do your fingerprints....

    jschut replied to ascty87's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    jschut replied to jschut's topic in Nursing Professionalism
