  1. ADN or BSN...how much does it really matter?

    Tiger747 replied to mom23boyz's topic in General Nursing

    $1,000,000.00 question: How many of you-- including me-- just memorized the material for short-term memory so we could pass the test? 100%? I thought so! The truth is that knowledge-- and its...

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

    Thank you, tiredbeatupRN. I hope you are not too tired and beat up. LOL You are very kind. I met some great friends in nursing school, and I am amazed at their love and support. I helped them get...

  3. Life happens...

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

    Hi Sunnyside11 Cheer up! I am actually happy for you! Imagine having been accepted into nursing school, graduating with honors, only to get denied a license by the B.O.N., or worse, granted a...

  4. Felonly expunged...can I get my LPN license in Oklahoma?

    Tiger747 replied to josh2828's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The problem as I see it is that the B.O.N. will see the conviction, so there is a good chance you will receive a probationary license-- if a license at all. Now... you are looking for a job with your...

  5. success although bittersweet

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

    Being approved to take the NCLEX and even getting your license is not the problem. When I appeared before the board they approved me with a solitary misdemeanor a decade ago and wished me luck,...

  6. Exusted

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

    Wow! When I was looking into expungement, I was told that in addition to the legal expungement process, one had to also pay someone to get the record removed from all over the net as well. In other...

  7. Denied CA lvn license for 2 DUI's

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

    I hear you, kzimmermann. You are 100% spot-on. Like Jeff, I, too, was handed a copy of the Indiana BON's by-laws upon acceptance in the nursing program. I read them over inside and out and it became...

  8. Denied CA lvn license for 2 DUI's

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

    With enough imagination, a relationship can be drawn between any two points. Who among us has not been guilty of poor judgement? At 23, you have not had a chance yet to even be under fire. Life...

  9. Denied CA lvn license for 2 DUI's

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

    What does a D.U.I. have to do with performing the duties of a nurse. Well, unless you are drunk on the job.... nothing. Google "discriminatory hiring practices involving misdemeanors" and you folks...

  10. Exusted

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

    Hello Macca, I am in Indiana with a misdemeanor battery from 2001 which was a conviction. I could have easily had it dismissed had I had the money for a descent lawyer (I had plenty of witnesses that...

  11. Pending conversion charge in Indiana?

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

    A fellow Hoosier! I have to tell you, do not even think about going to nursing school until this criminal charge is finalized. I can tell you for a fact that if you get stuck with a misdemeanoryou...

  12. Nurses with criminal background

    Tiger747 replied to txgirl11's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    When I was in nursing school, the whole emphasis was placed on a criminal record and how that would effect you with the board. The mentality was seemingly all about getting your license. Well, we...

  13. Finding a Job with a Probationary Status License

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

    Thank you for the encouragement! I was actually hired by one nursing home, the D.O.N. really liked me; but, when she saw my probationary status she said, "I don't know if I can hire you." She told me...

  14. FELONY AND JOB

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

    The question is a good one. Any job -- let alone nursing---in any state, with a felony. My attorney told me misdemeanors are now looked upon by employers as

  15. Finding a Job with a Probationary Status License

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

    Hello, I have no requirements for probation. I have an unrestricted, probationary license. All I have to do is work as a nurse for 6 months, period. But no one will give me a chance--- not even a...

  16. Finding a Job with a Probationary Status License

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

    Thanks everyone for the advice. I must say that in my town virtually every place is hiring nurses and there is certainly no shortage of jobs. I do taxes 6 months out of the year, and many of my...

  17. Hearing with the SBON

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

    I really, really feel for you! A few months back I found some consolation on this site. Someone was going through some sort of problem getting licensed or finding a job, and an attorney responded,...

  18. LPN needs help re: encumbered license

    Tiger747 replied to Adnerb63's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I have a similar problem. My license is probationary due to a misdemeanor battery I had in 2001. I received my license in September of 2010, and here it is May of 2011, and only 3 interviews from...

  19. Fired after 16 years related to my felony

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

    Hi Guys, It isn't just Michigan. Here in Indiana they do not even allow expungements. A mere misdemeanor and you cannot even work at a convenience store. If moving is an answer, I would like to know...

  20. getting a job

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

    I just have a midemeanor from 10 years ago, and I have only had 3 interviews out of 150+ applications and 8 months of searching. Meanwhile my fellow classmates are going through jobs right and left....

  21. Hearing with the SBON

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

    Hello. Been there; done that. By all means have an attorney with you. I did not have an attorney, but the BON was kind (I thought) and gave me a probationary license. The problem with that is you...

  22. Finding a Job with a Probationary Status License

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

    When I first went before the board to be approved to take the NCLEX, about 50% of those there for what they call "appearances" (such as myself) had attorneys. In no way would I want to speak for...
