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

    PastoralCareRN 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....

  8. Is Hospice nursing for me?

    PastoralCareRN replied to ascty87's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    PastoralCareRN posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    PastoralCareRN replied to Dianna11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    PastoralCareRN replied to PastoralCareRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism
