In response to cpl_dvldog, that is why one must begin with the EEOC. The EEOC first determines if you may have an action and give you the go ahead to take the action to the next step. fltnrse2

I feel like I am a very strong women. However recently I had to take a refresher course after a lengthy health related problems. I've been a nurse for 40 years and made my dream come true by becoming a flight nurse. Now I am given a rn with 2 year...

Dear FNP v ANP, Access your states BON. You need to talk to a "Practice Specialists". That is her job to answer questions such as the one you posted. FLTNRSE2

LVNBSN2, Sounds like "retailation" to me. If this happened recently I would ask for a document stating exactly WHY you were fired. The "State" purpose is to protect the public, they arn't there for you. In my opinion (after you get a copy of ...

And therein lies the problem. I was surprized at how other nurses rise to defend this doc. If she is right or wrong is up to the Board of Healing Arts. The physicians "rational" is not the point. If he/she is prescribing an unsafe amount of narcot...

I would contact the Board of Healing Arts in your State. You might contact the DEA to see what you can learn.

Check out Flightweb on the internet. Most jobs are located in the desert southwest. Look at Native American Air, Phoenix, Good Samaritan hospitals also Phoenix (they had the first flight program in the country. You might check Indian Health Servi...

Dear Jamie, I agree that your focus of addiction and recovey should always come first. The second thing is how long was you license suspended, that will make a difference. Additionally I do not know of any RN-BSN who would except you. Even if ...

I am going for reinstatement, this is what I found out. An Rn Investigator will review my documents, she will then talk to the chair of the reinstatement committee (who is an LPN, nothing against LPN's I was one for twenty years) by phone this one...

Dear Karl, I read your post in regards to whom the bon is accountable to. If you read my last post this is a huge concern to me. What other government entity do you know of that is allowed to operate with little or no transparency or accountability? ...

Dear All Over Again, I have done it both ways with and without an attorney. Twice the attorney made thousands of dollars and I lost anyway, once the attorney made thousands of dollars and I got my license. I'm getting ready to go around one m...

Right on Jack Farmer! lzink

I couldn't agree with you more Karl...Linda

Dear easlel, I would like to discourage you from contacting the state board of nursing for any reason once your in their sites Lord help you. Your State Nurses Association can give you the same information without having to disclose any pers...

If your supervisor is investigating, she may well report the incident to the board. My personal opinion is this. I self reported and the board couldn't jerk my license fast enough. If this gets turned over to the state board they will also contact yo...

Dear easlel, Yes there is hope. What I am about to tell you reflects my experiences with state boards. Since your year is going to be up very soon, you can begin the process of reinstatement. Contact your state board and request the necessary ...

The name of the book was "Death Shift". My boyfriend was appointed by the courts to defend her. I understand that she used a number of drugs to committ these murders. There was also a made for TV movie about it. I'm not sure if the book is still in...

Sorry but the state boards of nursing jumped on the LNC before I knew about it. You have to take an accredited course and take an exam, then you get a certificate. Good Luck

Dear ADN, Statistically there are approximately 2.5 milion RN's needed in the country. Here is what may be difficult. Your first job. You can't go wrong with med/surg for one year, after getting your feet on the ground you can go any where. ...

I have to disrespectfully disagree with a posting compairing crinal law with administrative law and that your rights are fairly much the same as a criminal. Here are my issues with that article. 1.cannot confront your aquisor 2.cannot cross examine ...

In regards to an attorney. I have been in front of four BON. I have spend thousands of dollars on attornies. Ith has been my experience that the nurse attornies had thier own agenda and interest and it wasn't me. If you decide to retain an attorn...

And everyone wonders why we have a nursing shortage! I had a problem with broken demerol ampules, another RN was standing next to me and witnessed the broken vials, we wasted what was left and we both signed the narcotic recond. I was charged and to...

I see that your question was posted in January, and I see you have had a great response. Here are some things you need to know. The State Board is NOT you friend. Thier function is to protect the public. Second get a current copy of the nurse prac...
