    One1 replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    At least it looks like they are issuing temporary licenses again. I applied for one as well but they just kept my money and never sent me

  4. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    One1 replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    Could be, I don't think it makes much difference when you send the transcripts. I was told it takes 1-2 weeks from the date the check was cashed (at minimum) before anybody actually looks at the...

  5. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    One1 replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    Yay, I finally received my license number!! Short timeline: I applied 07/03/14 and did live scan fingerprints & nursesys that day. Transcripts were sent out 07/08/14 directly from the school....

  6. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    One1 replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    I think this is what bothers me the most about the whole thing. We are not applying for an ATT number so we can take the NCLEX. We are licensed nurses coming from other States in the U.S. I find it...

  7. Easier to get hired as RN or specialized NP?

    You're welcome, good luck on your

  8. Easier to get hired as RN or specialized NP?

    One1 replied to Summers3's topic in California Nursing

    The beauty of the nursing world is that (in theory) you can work in any area you like, or change from one area to another as you grow as an RN. Nowadays, pretty much every nurse is a "general" nurse...

  9. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    One1 replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    Perfexion, did the lady you talk to actually look up your application in the computer with your application number? Did she explain a bit more about what number you would have been able to call and...

  10. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    One1 replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    No, I don't think it makes sense to even apply for a position without a CA license. I cannot be hired until I have one, even if I do currently hold a license in another State. With how slow the CA BON...

    Turned my application in the beginning of July even and no change in my "pending" status as of today. It is very

    One1 replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    It's the worst when you get 2 people from the same company telling you opposite info.. I called my college first and they sent me to getmytranscripts. When I called gmt, the guy on the phone told me...

  13. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    One1 replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    I used that website. I printed out the transcript request form from the CA BON, filled my part out (I think it is the top part), and then scanned it to my computer as a pdf. On the getmytranscripts...

  14. How would you handle this?

    One1 replied to MedFlightDreams's topic in Emergency

    I have seen ER techs hang around a department way too long, and way past the point where "respected experience" turned into "acting outside the scope of practice". I would not expect much success from...

    One1 replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    Go with a check, that way you know when it was cashed and if you can view the cashed check online on your bank's website then you might be able to see your application number. Mine was handwritten on...

  17. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    One1 replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    You can sign up on Breeze with that information plus your Application number (you might have to leave off the first digit of that number), but, as you said, it might not do much good to do so if the...

    One1 replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    Hi everybody, chiming in here as well. I too am waiting for my CA license via endorsement. Check cashed on 08/01/14. On Breeze, my status states "pending, educational hx missing", so I called since my...

  19. Leaving Job While on Orientation

    One1 replied to starmickey03's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    How about offering a 2 weeks notice when you sit down with your manager in person to quit? Tell him/her why you are quitting (work hours, family) and offer the 2 weeks as a goodwill gesture. You can...

  20. ED nursing tasks/responsibilities:

    One1 replied to ivyleaf's topic in Emergency

    1) Cleaning up incontinent patients with C-Diff diarrhea. A lot. Often. 2) Unhooking completely hooked up patients (to monitors and IV fluids/meds) to help them to bedside commode. Help patient back...

  21. What Experience is More Valuable? CNA, EMT or EKG Tech

    One1 replied to claudianyc's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Emergency Departments are different throughout the country, but the Emergency Deps in our area do not hire CNAs, only IV certified EMTs. Also, our ICUs do not hire CNAs. Find out what the requirements...

  22. Blue about Code Blue

    One1 replied to barbaralynn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Our providers are all really good about discussing DNRs with family members. However, the timing of these discussions is not the best when it happens in the ER, while the family is emotional and...

  23. Is it really necessary to learn to read an ekg? anyone really use it?

    One1 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, your patient is not going to wait for you to whip out your phone and google Vfib as he is about to tank and needs some pads

  24. Praying in the work place

    One1 replied to RipeTomato's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Come on...Just one sentence prior to this you state that you "...respect other people's religious choices...," yet it is too much to ask of you to be quiet while they take a minute (or less in many...

  25. Praying in the work place

    One1 replied to RipeTomato's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    It is offensive because it forces somebody else's lifestyle (in this case, the act of praying) on somebody who does not want this act of praying. I am a spiritual person but not religious, and I...
