I am nurse and will always be a nurse so I can relate to your fire to regain your profession. Your disciplinary actions will ALWAYS be tied to your license. Its public records but let me assure you, you are not the first nurse with disciplinary actio...

Yes, I did find a job while on probation. But IT WAS HARD, I had many many many NOs before a yes. My probation was successfully completed last year with the Board. All I can tell you is that it will be difficult but its not impossible. Good luck to y...

@mizchelle RN OMG I am so happy for you! I have followed your struggled and have shared mine with you. I too may have a job. Today I find out if the Board approves it so I dont want to say too much until I know for sure. Good luck on your new posit...

I can totally relate. I am an RN with a misdemeanor and I was with a week of having a job. I too was honest and up front and 3 days before my start date they rescinded the offer. I feel very broken but am determined that someone out there will give u...

YAY YAY YAY!!!!! We needed to hear that good news. I'm so proud and happy for you. Its a long process but their are people out there willing to give us a chance and REMEMBER we have to give ourselves a chance and forgive ourselves for our past mistak...

Hey it all sounds positive, anytime you get an interview you get an opportunity. And the fact that the recruiters were aware of your program and didn't appear to have an issue with it is even better. I will keep you in my prayers. It gives us all hop...

Yeah, I was kinda bummed. But now I'm feeling like in the big scheme of things it wasn't meant for me or else GOD or the Universe (whatever you want to call it) would have made it so. I did read the forum on Davita and I was very concerned but was in...

Update: Received an email from DaVita's Welcome village informing me I was ineligible for hire because of my probation status. They the fact that "I can't supervise PCT's or need constant monitoring" was the issue. I spoke to my BRN probation monitor...

Great! Good luck! I'm pulling for you. We have to leave ourselves open to all possibilities. I will keep you posted as well. Fingers crossed here for you and MYSELF

I'm curious if you have found gainful employment yet. I too have a license on probation and it has been a difficult process with no luck of employment yet. The economy hasn't helped either but I remain hopeful.

Update: Last Thursday received a call from the DaVita Regional manager in my area. He wanted me to explain of the results my background check which I did with complete honesty. He says he still willing to go forward but we have await word form corpor...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm in agreement with everyone else. YOU ARE NOT bragging you are giving us all hope that there are jobs out there and there are people who will listen with an open heart and mind and give us a "second" chance. God does have a pla...

MizchelleRN: I was bit freaked yesterday but today I woke with a sense of calm. I truly let go and let God. I have done all I can do. I did the interview-impressed my ass off. I was upfront and honest and SINCERE. Now I have to quit worrying and rele...

PS pay here is $34 to start and they promise me a review in 90 days to see about an increase and the position is suppose to be full time which is 36 hours. Did you end up getting more shifts?

Thank you for giving me a sense of peace. I just have to let it go for now and turn it over. I'm not sure where you are located but the money isnt the greatest here but its better than the unemployment I'm making. My fellow nurses here in CA are maki...

RNZenpeaceful: I was just wondering how things turned out for you with DaVita. I too have a license on probation. I was recently hired by DaVita, I just completed my drug screen and background check. i'm very fearful that some corporate head will sto...

MizChelleRN: Actually my posting was for you. I will definitely keep you all posted re: my Davita hiring. I'm in CA and I know headquarters are in Colorado. I, too was honest on my application and with the manager and thnk God he was willing to give...

My heart goes out to you. I am in the same situation. My license has been on probation for the past year (I committed a misdemeanor theft that didn't involve narcs but timesheets related, I did it and I have taken full responsibility and have paid re...

Well several months have passed and I'm still unemployed. I havent had any interviews, the market is very tough here in the bay area but just received a call for an interview this week. Again please send your positive vibes and any helpful advice you...

Follow Up- Well I had my interview a few weeks ago. I didnt get the job but the interview was successful for me because it was the first time I had to tell a potential employer that my license was on probation. Guess what..the Earth didn't open up an...

Thank you for your kind words and good advice. I will take it all in. I have prepared myself with the typical interview questions, checked out the website, mission statement etc. Got the suit and tie, haircut. Now I will just let go and let God. I w...

Thank you Thank you. I so needed to read this story. I do not have an issue with etoh or drugs but I did commit a misdemeanor crime in 2006. Error in judgment and a pack mentality but I take full responsibility. The BRN placed my license on probation...

Hey Mike, Thanks for your story I needed to hear. I have been a nurse over 15 years and recently I committed a misdemeanor. I was working at a facility where I got paid for days not worked, it was a common practice and during an independent audit thi...
