  1. Anybody considered legal action against BONs for non-recognition?

    mobileLPN replied to mobileLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Many seem to think this issue about EC. It is not. It is about the excessive power that state BONs have. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard that Deaconness isn't approved by the New York state...

  2. What does R.N. J.D. mean??

    mobileLPN replied to youknowho's topic in General Nursing

    An RN, JD, PhD and a midwife? How does she find time to eat, much less

  4. Anybody considered legal action against BONs for non-recognition?

    mobileLPN replied to mobileLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    On that, we agree. The prerequisite should be at least EMT-P, LPN, or RT. Perhaps the BONs and excelsior could compromise. Subtract from the 360 hour clinical requirement any verified clinical...

  5. Anybody considered legal action against BONs for non-recognition?

    mobileLPN replied to mobileLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    "I just don't think that's feasible from a practical standpoint." -Lizz Why then, is it feasible for the majority of states? Do all of these states have a glut of unqualified nurses running amok...

  6. Anybody considered legal action against BONs for non-recognition?

    mobileLPN replied to mobileLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    all the state boards, or the legislature, or even the courts have to do is to borrow a line from their counterparts at the State Bars. That is; require candidates for licensure to have graduated from...

  7. Anybody considered legal action against BONs for non-recognition?

    mobileLPN replied to mobileLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    An important part of any legal action would be finding out exactly what the entire KS law states. Is the referenced statute simply the one passed by the legislature that gives the BON the authority...

  8. Anybody considered legal action against BONs for non-recognition?

    mobileLPN replied to mobileLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It's the law itself, and the BONs authority to enforce it you have to attack. US history is full of things that used to be regulated by the states but legal action led to federal laws trumping state...

  9. Anybody considered legal action against BONs for non-recognition?

    mobileLPN replied to mobileLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    While I too have heard nothing about a cali 80 hour clinical, I do like the required preceptorship that Washington requires. As far as the answer not being in a lawsuit. Sometimes it takes legal...

  10. Anybody considered legal action against BONs for non-recognition?

    mobileLPN replied to mobileLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    While I've already mentioned my distaste for KS, I would happily participate in a lawsuit against the KS BON just to set a precedent. I take NC 7 next week and then will take (and hopefully pass) the...

  11. This will make me sound SO DUMB...

    mobileLPN replied to IDlvrM's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Start right now, find someone to buy study guides from and start with NC-1 or one of the Gen Ed classes. It's easy to feel unmotivated, but getting one test out of the way is sure a good

    Hey NRLEVART, I sent you a private

  13. Thinking of switching to U of P

    mobileLPN replied to BBFRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Are you doing this program? Is it done through arranged preceptorships, or do you have to travel to new york for clinical rotations? I hope to be finishing my ADN with excelsior this fall, and would...

  14. Studying CPNE In WA State

    mobileLPN replied to Nurse1956's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am planning to finish my NC exams in July, then take CPNE ASAP thereafter. I will be working as a camp nurse in CA for the summer. I actually live in Portland, OR, but I work in Washington State...

  15. ARRGGGHHHH!!!!!! California wants MORE money

    mobileLPN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I posted on here a few weeks ago about all the expense and hassle of applying for different state licenses. I sent California a $131 dollar check back in march. Plus, I spent $60 on verifications...

  16. I passed the CPNE!!!!

    mobileLPN replied to BBFRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congratulations!!!!! How many more gen eds do you have? Would you recommend that site? I hope to test this fall. Did you do one of the workshops to

  17. ARRGGGHHHH!!!!!! California wants MORE money

    mobileLPN replied to mobileLPN's topic in General Nursing

    While the money is a pain. My main objection is them not including this in the initial application packet. If you tell me it takes 8-12 weeks and 131 dollars (to the california board of vocational...

    mobileLPN replied to Peds_LPN's topic in Camp

    I'll be working at a camp in Southern California. It also is a special needs camp. I'm quite excited, as this is my first time being a camp

  19. Male L&D nurses

    mobileLPN replied to Cadeyl's topic in General Nursing

    In that case, ltcdon, you can feel free to request a female staff member. There are many women, some of whom have posted here, who don't feel that way. I took care of several L&D pts in nursing...

  20. Federalize Nursing Licenses! Who's with me?

    mobileLPN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I've had it. Over the past few months I've spent several hundred dollars on nursing licenses for three states. Between fingerprint fees, license fees,transcript fees, notary fees and worst of...

  21. Male L&D nurses

    mobileLPN replied to Cadeyl's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's because they want to. It completely boggles my mind that we are even having this discussion. If you as a patient want to request a different nurse for WHATEVER reason, fine that's your...

  22. Male L&D nurses

    mobileLPN replied to Cadeyl's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps they desire to go into L&D for the same reasons female nurses go into it. The whole helping bring new life into the world thing, the opportunity to work with relatively happy patients,...

    Awesome, best of luck on the CPNE. Are you going to do a workshop to get ready for

  24. Excelsior College

    mobileLPN replied to gdnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Even as pro excelsior as I am, I too have advised people who didn't have a lot of clinical experience to go a more traditional route. Primarily because I didn't want to advise them to invest all the...

  25. Excelsior College

    mobileLPN replied to gdnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you'd like to share some facts to back up your assertion. NCLEX pass rates perhaps? Maybe numbers of board disciplinary actions? Do you have any of those numbers? Have you ever looked at...
