  1. Light at the end of the tunnel for Foreign Nurses

    Sheri257 replied to Rep's topic in International Nursing

    They may have to pay the same wages they pay RN's in that particular facility. But that doesn't mean they have to pay market wages for that area. Far from it. If they don't want to give staff RN's a...

  2. Light at the end of the tunnel for Foreign Nurses

    Sheri257 replied to Rep's topic in International Nursing

    Lavalin: I'm not sure why you're posting all of these arguments in favor of illegals. If anything, foreign nurses who are seeking help with legal immigration should distance themselves from illegals...

  3. Criminal charges against WI Nurse

    Sheri257 replied to Dorito's topic in General Nursing

    I did report it but, unfortunately nothing came of it. I guess that's why I'm not too worried about prosecutors going after nurses like you guys are because, it doesn't happen very often ... even when...

  4. will this kick me out of nursing school?!

    Sheri257 replied to jennystudent00's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't see how this changes anything. Contrary to what you said earlier ... you still have to disclose the conviction. Before, you were telling people they didn't have to disclose anything in any...

  5. Criminal charges against WI Nurse

    Sheri257 replied to Dorito's topic in General Nursing

    As far as prison space, the answer in California, at least would be no ... there's not enough space. But, the state is also under federal court order to build more prisons so, that may be a moot point...

  6. will this kick me out of nursing school?!

    Sheri257 replied to jennystudent00's topic in Nursing Career

    BTW ... the Arizona application also says you're guilty of fraud if you don't disclose it, and could be subject to criminal prosecution.

  7. will this kick me out of nursing school?!

    Sheri257 replied to jennystudent00's topic in Nursing Career

    Actually ... after doing a quick google search on this ... not really. California doesn't stand alone in requiring expungement disclosure. Some states do, some states don't, but it's not all that...

  8. will this kick me out of nursing school?!

    Sheri257 replied to jennystudent00's topic in Nursing Career

    Well ... you were telling people that they didn't have to report expungements or deferred adjudications in any state. Bottom line: You really have to check with each BON. That's your best source of...

  9. will this kick me out of nursing school?!

    Sheri257 replied to jennystudent00's topic in Nursing Career

    Again, read the application. Expungement must be reported. If you don't it says right there you're guilty of perjury. Legal theory is ... well, theory. If you ever been to court (which I have, many...

  10. will this kick me out of nursing school?!

    Sheri257 replied to jennystudent00's topic in Nursing Career

    Not with nursing boards. Again, their duty is to protect the public, not you. On p. 12, for example, it clearly states that expunged records have to be reported.

  11. will this kick me out of nursing school?!

    Sheri257 replied to jennystudent00's topic in Nursing Career

    The BRN has the legal authority to promulgate rules and regulations that have the same effect as law. And their duty, under the law first and foremost is to protect the public. Their duty is not to...

  12. will this kick me out of nursing school?!

    Sheri257 replied to jennystudent00's topic in Nursing Career

    Uh ... yeah ... you are wrong about this. California BRN application under p. 12: http://www.rn.ca.gov/lic/pdf/exam_app_2004.pdf Quote: I certify under penalty of PERJURY under the laws of the state...

  13. will this kick me out of nursing school?!

    Sheri257 replied to jennystudent00's topic in Nursing Career

    It doesn't matter what an employment attorney says. It only matters what the board says. And the courts almost always side with the BRN in these situations. The director of my nursing program has a...

  14. will this kick me out of nursing school?!

    Sheri257 replied to jennystudent00's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm sorry but you are completely wrong about this, at least with other states. In California, just as an example, it doesn't matter if it was sealed, treated as a non-conviction ... whatever. It's...

  15. Criminal charges against WI Nurse

    Sheri257 replied to Dorito's topic in General Nursing

    Question: if it was a member of your family who died because of this, would you still think the RN should only lose their license and not be prosecuted? I realize we don't have all of the details...

  16. Light at the end of the tunnel for Foreign Nurses

    Sheri257 replied to Rep's topic in International Nursing

    Exactly. When it comes to immigration, Republicans were generally just as bad as the Democrats. On that issue, it essentially made no difference which party you voted for. That's why the war, not...

  17. Light at the end of the tunnel for Foreign Nurses

    Sheri257 replied to Rep's topic in International Nursing

    Again, election spin from immigration groups this doesn't mean anything. Republicans don't have any credibility on the immigration issue because they haven't done anything about it. For most voters...

  18. Light at the end of the tunnel for Foreign Nurses

    Sheri257 replied to Rep's topic in International Nursing

    This is a gross mischaracterization of the election. Democrats won because of the war, not because of immigration. If the issue in this election had been about immigration, instead of the war,...

  19. Light at the end of the tunnel for Foreign Nurses

    Sheri257 replied to Rep's topic in International Nursing

    Suzanne: have you looked at the prevailing wage rates set by the labor department? It's a joke. This is how hospitals get away with paying foreign nurses less money, and using it to pay U.S. nurses...

  20. Light at the end of the tunnel for Foreign Nurses

    Sheri257 replied to Rep's topic in International Nursing

    If hospitals pay market rates then, I'm sure they do. But when hospitals use foreign nurses to under cut and avoid giving staff pay raises ... I seriously doubt it. Filipino nurses want to make more...

  21. I don't get the MA deal...

    Sheri257 replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Nursing

    Docs hire MA's because they're too cheap to hire RN's. How many times have I heard "I do everything an RN does except IV's ... I just don't want to go through the hassle of school." If MA's really...

  22. Light at the end of the tunnel for Foreign Nurses

    Sheri257 replied to Rep's topic in International Nursing

    CardiacRN is right ... those protests backfired in a major way. Just because they get a lot of news coverage doesn't mean they gain any ground with registered voters. In fact, they lost ground....

  23. Light at the end of the tunnel for Foreign Nurses

    Sheri257 replied to Rep's topic in International Nursing

    So? Look at CNA's position. It's pretty clear. Filipino and foreign nurses have the same interests as any other CNA nurse who is protected by union contracts. I would find it hard to believe that any...

  24. Light at the end of the tunnel for Foreign Nurses

    Sheri257 replied to Rep's topic in International Nursing

    I wouldn't count on it. Nancy Pelosi, the future House Speaker, represents San Francisco. The California Nurses' Association, the most powerful nurses' union in the state ... staunchly opposes...

  25. LPN to RN through testing?

    Sheri257 replied to mc3's topic in General Nursing

    My program does the same. I wonder if it also depends upon the area. If the school has a lot of hospital clinical sites to choose from then, I think LVN's get a lot more exposure to different areas....
