  1. Help me please!

    kaydensmom01 replied to olchrustyone's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes you did strike a nerve because my post was right before yours so I thought you were referring to me, your post made it seem as if someone was in denial about alcohol dependency or complaining...

  2. Help me please!

    kaydensmom01 replied to olchrustyone's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Who are you talking about? I in no way stated that an individual with a DUI does not POSSIBLY have chemical dependency issues and that a chemical dependency evaluation was unnecessary to determine

  3. Help me please!

    kaydensmom01 replied to olchrustyone's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Drugs/alcohol problems in the past and sitting for the boards. From my experience, a lot of people with DUI's have had to get an

  4. Chemical Dependency Evaluation!!

    It's been 9 months since graduation, and two months since my evaluation and I received my ATT yesterday:) Good

  5. Recieved ATT after 9 months of waiting

    kaydensmom01 replied to kaydensmom01's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm in Ohio, and I agree that it is emotionally exhausting just waiting. I got my ATT but it still does not mean that they are licensing me, so I am still waiting for a letter from them stating their...

    kaydensmom01 replied to kaydensmom01's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No I'm not from out of the country, I have a criminal

  7. Chemical Dependency Evaluation!!

    kaydensmom01 replied to philly497's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It is not a normal patient relationship, as I am not considered the patient- the Board of Nursing is. Yes he is evaluating me, yes I paid for it, but no I am not the patient- it is a rare situation...

  8. Chemical Dependency Evaluation!!

    kaydensmom01 replied to philly497's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I also graduated in May and have not been approved to take NCLEX yet. I had my evaluation on November 19th, it was 7 hours away (I'm on the north-eastern boarder of the state and it was clear on the...

  9. How long did it take you to finish BSN/ASN

    kaydensmom01 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Took me 2.5 years to get my ADN and it will take me 1.5 to 2 years more to get my BSN. It varies greatly by program, pre-req's,

  10. Does becoming a CNA help you if you want to become an RN?

    kaydensmom01 replied to Becca014's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That is part of nursing but not all of it. Being a nurse is assessing the patient physically and checking labs to evaluate the effectiveness of their treatment- something that the CNA does not do....

  11. *Sigh* Need some encouragement.

    kaydensmom01 replied to Vallywillis's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I graduated almost 9 months ago and have not been approved to take my NCLEX yet. It's easy to be discouraged when you are in this situation, but really try not to dwell on it or you may be depressed...

  12. Help me please!

    kaydensmom01 replied to olchrustyone's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes it has been. I knew that I had to go to an evaluation but had no idea that it was going to cost that much or be that far away. It was also a 9 hour evaluation... It was a major inconvenience, but...

  13. Help me please!

    kaydensmom01 replied to olchrustyone's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow, my BON chose my evaluator for me. They did not give me the option to choose anyone else, and the evaluator they gave me was 7 hours away and the evaluation cost

  14. Applying with Eligibility Issues (criminal history)

    kaydensmom01 replied to BCSNurse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Expunged, sealed, ect. does not exist when applying for a nursing license. I had to report a juvenile offense from when I was 14- underage drinking. I had to tell the BON about an assault charge from...

  15. So many nursing majors in my class!

    kaydensmom01 replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah that is why he has 19 likes and you have none.... He didn't agree with you so you insult him? You would consider me as going into nursing "just for the money" because I too think of it as a...

  16. Young mom, nursing school

    kaydensmom01 replied to Nursekidd1's topic in General Students

    I started pre-req's when my son was 6 months old, started the RN program when he was 1, and graduated when he was almost 3. I took out student loans so I didn't have to work and could spend my time...

  17. Does becoming a CNA help you if you want to become an RN?

    kaydensmom01 replied to Becca014's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Of course that is not being a good nurse, but what I am trying to point out is it has nothing to do with if a nurse was an aide before or not. Everyone said "I can tell if a nurse was an aide before 2...

  18. Two questions about associates degree in nursing

    kaydensmom01 replied to Edson12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my area it is not difficult to find work as an Associate Degree nurse. All of my classmates were employed within 1-2 months after graduation, and most in hospitals. It really depends on your area....

  19. Does becoming a CNA help you if you want to become an RN?

    kaydensmom01 replied to Becca014's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Not meaning to sound ignorant, but I have never understood what gives a nurses aide the qualifications to determine what is considered a "good nurse"? So in an aides eyes a "better nurse" is one who...

  20. Criminal Record?? Help!!

    kaydensmom01 replied to aspiringnurse07's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It is not impossible but be prepared to battle! I had alcohol issues throughout my teen years that resulted in the equivalent of a felony on my record when I was 16 (doesn't show up on background...

  21. Concerns about getting a job after graduation

    kaydensmom01 replied to seasea13's topic in General Students

    I graduated from an Associate Degree program in May and everyone that I graduated with has gotten a nursing job within 2 months after graduating, and most of them were not working as techs. A lot of...

  22. $11/hr as a registered nurse

    kaydensmom01 replied to naikosbripad's topic in General Nursing

    I live an hour from Wheeling and multiple students have gotten jobs around the area, and they were paid more than $15.36. They cost of living is very low around here (rent about $500-700 for single...

  23. Want to go into nursing, but seriously off track, help?

    kaydensmom01 replied to VitruvianMan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not sure how you gathered that you should still apply even without the pre-req's done from my post? I am not sure what you don't understand and I don't think I can make it any easier or clearer!...

  24. Want to go into nursing, but seriously off track, help?

    kaydensmom01 replied to VitruvianMan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Decide what you want to do. Decide if you want to go right to a direct entry graduate program or if you want to become a Registered Nurse first. If you want to enter a direct entry program see where...

  25. People confusing and mixing titles

    kaydensmom01 replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    But not nursing school, and she does not hold a nursing license. To me it's different if a patient's family yells "nurse" to grab attention of someone for a glass of water compared to an MA/PCT/CNA...
