  1. Will I ever become a nurse ??

    Tiger747 replied to Happynow2011's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    In all honesty, after reflecting on this for the better part of a year, why would you want to be a nurse? It is not anything but a glorified C.N.A. position, and why should someone beg anyone to clean...

  2. Double standard for nursing since it's female dominated?

    Tiger747 replied to Karl Farmer's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Well... at the Indiana Board of Nursing they "broke bad" (vernacular) with a sweet little lady in front of me for one (1), a single, D.U.I. You do not even want to know what they wanted her to do....

  3. Will I ever become a nurse ??

    Tiger747 replied to Happynow2011's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    In Indiana, a conviction = probationary license. BON= No Problem NCLEX= No Problem Job= Probationary License x 10 =

  4. Eligibility to sit for NCLEX in MD with DWI charge

    Tiger747 replied to m.neugz's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I am in central Indiana. I finally had a D.O.N. tell me that in my case, since the misdemeanor is for Simple Battery, no place who takes Medicare or Medicaid (state money) can hire me because if...

  5. DUI thoughts, for those who judge:

    Tiger747 replied to Karl Farmer's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Cases do not get dismissed unless you are innocent, typically. I cannot imagine even the best lawyer getting charges dismissed in the face of hard evidence (ie., a raging breathalyzer). Point is, in...

  6. Eligibility to sit for NCLEX in MD with DWI charge

    Tiger747 replied to m.neugz's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    BabyLady hit it pretty squarely on the head. Hope for the best; but, certainly, prepare yourself for the worst. Nurses are in very big demand where I live. In fact, one nursing home near me has for...

  7. New Indiana Expungement Law July 01, 2011

    Tiger747 replied to Tiger747's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    They, the legislaters who drafted it, were shocked it was passed! They said afterwards, however, that so many peers came to them and said they knew family members and friends who would be helped by...

  8. getting into nursing school w/ criminal past

    Tiger747 replied to penlight's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    True-- seen it myself; but, America and the job market were a different place 10 years ago. You can see from the threads on here that trying to find a job with any kind of criminal past is an...

  9. minor felony

    Tiger747 replied to meanttobe's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If the nursing school is telling you they'll have problems placing you in clinicals, just imagine what your job hunt will be like. Unfortunately, your past problems are hung out on internet databases...

  10. getting into nursing school w/ criminal past

    Tiger747 replied to penlight's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    More importantly, will she be able to find a job if she gets past the board. Easier to get approved by the B.O.N. than to find employment with a criminal

  11. Good News from MD BON!

    Tiger747 replied to rnjessie's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    As one poster on here said: "Easy to get a license; hard to find a job." Not only did I get my license, they wished me luck! LOL Not trying to be negative, but blue-skying a dark cloud benefits no...

  12. Will clinics most likely deny me work because of 2 misdemeanors?

    Tiger747 replied to Riley21's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Riley21, nursing simply is not the profession to be in with any sort of criminal record unless it is one count of Jay Walking. Seriously. You will fight this with the B.O.N., albeit you will probably...

  13. Denied CA lvn license for 2 DUI's

    Tiger747 replied to octaviaM's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    We are on the same page. Thanks for the well wishes. Perhaps stereotype wasn't the best choice of words.

  14. I decided not to fight and advice the same to anyone else

    Tiger747 replied to alexiscc's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If someone can sue McDonald's for hot coffee and O.J. can be acquitted, I am 100% positive there is an attorney out there, possibly having been a victim themselves, who is sharp enough, and hungry...

  15. I decided not to fight and advice the same to anyone else

    Tiger747 replied to alexiscc's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I like the reference to the scarlet letter, alexiscc. You seem super intelligent, and your posts have been a godsend to me in that, for a moment, I thought I was going crazy. LOL You've done your...

  16. I am wating to go into lpn class with a felony

    Tiger747 replied to keasia's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Finding a nursing job with a felony in 2011? LOL Ain't gonna happen. In my town you won't get on at Walmart. Convenience stores? Forget it. Call centers? No way. Independent McDonald's...

  17. Why doesn't anyone ever reply to my post? this decision could change my life

    Tiger747 replied to Riley21's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you will find expungement to be somewhat of a waste of money if you want to pursue nursing. By all means get it expunged, as removing it from your "formal" record will help you land other...

  18. Dealing with Tx BON--AGAIN!

    Tiger747 replied to LostInLimbo's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    A charge from 1995? Seriously? An attorney responded to one of these licensure with a criminal record threads saying that misdemeanors weren't meant to be "cattle brands" and that anyone dealing with...

  19. I decided not to fight and advice the same to anyone else

    Tiger747 replied to alexiscc's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Of course, you are a 100% right. It is senseless-- useless-- to fight as an individual. However..... if everyone of us 65,000,000 who cannot find work due to minor criminal records would unite, I am...

  20. Exusted

    Tiger747 replied to macca's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Essentially, you should not hang out with anybody if you are in the medical field or any other field. LOL Too risky. LOL When a person can scream "battery" and not have a mark on them, you know...

  21. success although bittersweet

    Tiger747 replied to jaznia15's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    In Indiana, you go before the B.O.N. before you take the NCLEX. They tell you then what you have to do to be approved to take the NCLEX and/or if you will get a "probationary" license. IMHO, the...

  22. Denied CA lvn license for 2 DUI's

    Tiger747 replied to octaviaM's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It is simple math. It is not a slam. All I am saying is that no one can see what lies before them 10 years down the road. Experience can only be had over time. Number of years x life= experience....

  23. Finding a Job with a Probationary Status License

    Tiger747 replied to Tiger747's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Leaving the U.S. is the only real answer. My cousins in Germany are highly educated and have to come here on business, but they do not like to. They say we are a "police state." Americans are pretty...

  24. Life happens...

    Tiger747 replied to sunnyside11's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    God Bless You! Know that I posted what I did as a brother and friend. After reading how dedicated you are, my heart bleeds for you! I was not trying to be flippant-- I really am happy they cut you...
