    LPN license revoked in Ohio.... Can I get licensed in Ky?

    xoemmylouox replied to ariesdragonfly's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Well you will have to ask their BON. I don't think it will be an easy road though. I would get ahold of a lawyer ASAP and see if there is anything you can do to get your OH license back. Good

    Documentation by PCT's

    xoemmylouox replied to jennilynn's topic in General Nursing

    Well I think that if they are going to document it needs to be valid documentation. It shouldn't be the same script for every patient. If they can't handle that then shouldn't be

    8 hrs night shift, x5/week

    xoemmylouox replied to winter_green's topic in General Nursing

    It is bad enough doing 5 / 8hr shifts a week during the day.. I can't imagine doing it on 3rd shift. I did 3-4 / 12hr shifts on 3rd shift for awhile. I didn't like it, but I tolerated well enough. I...

    Cover letter/resume tips for landing a job out of state

    xoemmylouox replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would help if you already had a license in the state you are applying to. If you haven't already gotten the license there I would start the process now. It can take some time, and it shows...

    What would you think of dropping "Licensed" from our title.

    xoemmylouox replied to CaliBoy760's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    We are licensed. Registered is another way of expressing that status. We don't call RN's just nurses. We deserve that distinction too. You aren't an LPN until you pass your boards. I always say
