    Maryland BON Monitoring program

    Just posting this for anyone else that may have to deal with the Maryland Safe Practice Committee for a DWI. I meet with the council and somehow someway didn't get picked for the program! Before I went to court for my original offense I did some drug...

    Settlement and final order

    Well for my hospital the right practice would have been to alert the provider that they had two separate routes for pain control. Usually if you have the PCA that should be your only source for short acting pain control. I have seen them on a long ac...

    Maryland BON Monitoring program

    Is there any chance in getting it reduced from five years? Do they make your employers send in quarterly reports? Do they put restrictions on all licences, or is that a case by case thing? Sorry for all the questions, its coming up soon...

    Rn per diem should i say yes

    Did you receive a job offer in writing that said it was full-time? If so I'd fight and tell them thats what you signed up for. If this is your first job as a nurse I wouldn't take the per diem, you need consistent training and hours as a new nurse to...
  8. I finally got a job on a unit at one my top picks for a hospital a few weeks ago and next week I start. I'm trying to brush up on my basic skills because I graduated six months ago and I feel like I've forgotten so much. They gave me a little overv...

    Maryland Board of Nursing Horrors

    Just wanted to follow up. Within a week of paying Pearson I received my ATT. Took my test and passed 07/15 and 07/16 I had an active license number.
  12. I ask because I like many others haven't gotten an RN position. Right now I live in NJ working as an nurse aide (they are giving me 6 months) but I'm looking for an RN job in MD. I'm tired of driving back and forth so I'm thinking of trying for other...

    Hiring process in California Corrections ?!

    I don't think anyone is replying because !. Your title doesn't specify that you are talking about something to do with correctional? 2. Your whole post is confusing. All the sentences seem like half-completed thoughts. What do you mean by correction...

    How do people relax the day before?!!

    I washed my hair and painted my nails in the evening. During the day I didn't do any questions, only reviewed content.
  15. Hey just give it time. I took it on the 15th too for MD BON. I had pending Tuesday morning and then a license # by Tuesday afternoon.

    nclex on 7/15! 3 more days

    I took 75 questions on Monday. Did the good pop up within 3 hours of the test. Tuesday morning my name popped up with my license # as pending, and by the afternoon I got my actual licnese #. So no quick results for me

    No, sorry. I'm in Jersey but I applied for a Maryland licence. I'll be moving to that state. I checked their bon and it was pending in the am, then license # by the afternoon. I'm glad I wont have to pay for the quick results now. :)

    NCLEX July 15th, So Nervous!!!

    Okay, I've been home for awhile. I had to pray before I was willing to do the trick. I did 75 question some of the questions seemed too easy so I was freaking out. But I took my time..... I got a figure/picture question, a good amount of SATA, one dr...

    nclex on 7/15! 3 more days

    Test tomorrow, I feel like crap. I didn't tell many people I was taking the test but now I wish I hadn't told anybody. I think I'm not doing anymore questions for the night. Just going to review labs and whatnot. God help me.

    NCLEX Rules - Please Follow Them!

    I bet these Pearson people have tons of stories to tell about people breaking down or doing dumb stuff to get disqualified or trying to cheat.

    Passed NCLEX but boss took me off work schedule!!!

    This why I refuse to tell anybody I work (that I don't trust to keep their mouth quiet) if I took the test, when I took the test, if I passed the test. I'm not telling anybody crap until I have a job so I can put in my two weeks.
