    How long does it take to get your License in the mail after passing the NCLEX?

    caliotter3 replied to Alessandra Romano's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Your employer verifies your license online as soon as it is posted. If your state mails a license, then call them and ask. I received my license in the mail about three weeks after I passed NCLEX and...

    caliotter3 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Kicked out, mid appointment

    caliotter3 replied to Silver_Rik's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The therapist should not be having face to face appointments if he is going to pull that. He also could have just as easily done some screening before beginning, but he didn't do that either. Have...

    Going home to loved ones after caring for COVID-19

    caliotter3 replied to wintertest's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sounds as if you need to find a new babysitter, one who accepts sick children. Only reason I can see for her to refuse a sick kid is if there are other children present. Otherwise why even say you...

    Can my job make me change departments?

    caliotter3 replied to Booboobear89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agree with the previous posts. It seems as if your employer is attempting to keep you in a paycheck short of paying you to stay home and do nothing. I don't see malice on the surface of it. You...

    I mentioned Facetime and Skype too. Also no response. Surely you have a reason why these and the phone are not acceptable? Just wondering what I am missing

    Would you refuse to care for a COVID-19 patient?

    caliotter3 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It would depend on what I fear most, no income, or getting ill and dying. For me, with my risk factors, getting ill would probably mean death. Don't really think it is worth it. After all, what do...
