  1. Do you have some documentation of that from the MD BON website? It says nothing about that on the specific page you linked. In the different states in which I've practiced over the years, an...
  2. The OP isn't asking about how to convert an inactive license back to active status -- she's saying that she let her license expire 10 yeas ago and now has no license. OP, have you maintained a license...
  3. The bigger question is whether you can get a license. Lots of nursing schools will accept people with all kinds of backgrounds, knowing that they will have difficulty getting licensed, but happy to...

    How far to push a high profile reference.

    Yikes. You already pulled strings to get the interview, which, IMO, was bad enough. The CNO did what she was basically obligated to do by the board member requesting special consideration for you....

    Caring for the unvaccinated child

    I agree that it is the parents' (misguided, IMO) choice to leave her unprotected and also the parents' choice to ask you to provide care for her, knowing what kind of work you do. As long as you...

    Disappointed

    This reminds me of all the threads from nursing students (or would-be nursing students) bemoaning all the people who are going into nursing for the "wrong" reasons, reasons that the poster doesn't...

    The Financially Independent Nurse

    OP, who are you and why would we take financial advice from you? Do you have some kind of actual credentials? Is the article based on research of valid sources/experts, or is this just stuff that...

    Non Clinical DNP degree ?

    There have always been MSN programs with advanced practice concentrations (NP, CNS, CNM, CRNA) and MSN programs with other concentrations (not advanced practice), management/leadership, education,...
  9. I would guess that, at this point, it wouldn't make any difference -- it couldn't make your situation any worse. The train has already left the station on the question of your critical thinking...
  10. Even with a place for pottying, it would be really neglectful, borderline cruel, to leave a young puppy alone for 12+ hours a day (even with "lots of toys"). Dogs are social, pack animals. Have you...
  11. Per the site's Terms of Service, we cannot give any medical or legal advice

    What is a Sugar Cleanse and Do I Need It?

    Ahh, the Sanoviv Medical Institute rears its ugly head again. Wasn't there a thread about that place just recently? That's the place in Mexico that offers colon therapy, "detoxification," and all...

    DNA testing for proper diet for you

    Sounds like a scam to me
  14. Yes, we're right back where we were months ago. How frustrating. OP, do you just not want to build a career in nursing? You seem determined to keep sabotaging
  15. I said it long before I saw the Slate article this morning -- but I did notice the author agreed with
  16. I worked in the psychiatric nursing department of a VA many years ago. It wasn't substantially different from the psychiatric staff nursing positions I had in the private sector over the years....

    NP vs. PA

    If you already have a BS in bio and a Master's, why an ADN program? Are you aware of the direct entry NP programs for individuals who already have a BA/BS in something else (but no nursing...

    Typical cost for RN-BSN program

    The website for the state uni at which I completed my BSN many years ago says that the BSN completion program, which is now entirely on-line (it was a B&M program when I attended, but that was a...

    A New Health Care Role for Nurses

    My thought, as
  21. Oh, no, not again ... Don't mean to sound harsh, but it's highly unlikely you will find another job any time soon, given your history ("by 2018"? You mean, like, before the new year starts? That's...
  22. I was referring specifically to the simple-minded conservative ideologues in the current administration and GOP majority in the Congress. Not conservatives generally. (Although, if the shoe fits...
  23. Yes, the subsequent reporting is suggesting that this is less a "ban" imposed by the administration, and more a matter of self-censorship by the organization in the budget proposals, as a means of...

    What is a Sugar Cleanse and Do I Need It?

    "What I find interesting is that the healthcare system probably won't recommend this strategy for clearing your body from sugar addiction, probably because it doesn't require using any drugs." Or...
  25. The current director of the CDC, Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald, the individual making the reassuring statements, is a Trump appointee who is a former adviser to Newt Gingrich. Given the track record of this...
