Hi this thread is for the Memorial Hospital Gardena New Grad Program Summer 2015. We can make this a place to exchange information and be supportive of each other. Good Luck everyone and when we are here for support in a positive way we become stronger Nurses and that great for us and our patients. As the thread progresses remember anyone can look this up so be respectful to the facility and yourselves.
Hello i wanted to know what is the best way to disclose my probation. It is due to a very old arrest way before nursing . My license is fine I can act as a full RN just have the stipulations no med restrictions. Anyway I am going in for a new grad interview and it's my dream dept I don't want to mess up my delivery when telling them about the probation. What have you all said when in this situation. Thank you in advanced

Hi you will still have to disclose the arrest to the BRN but you can just say it was discharged without conviction. They will take into consideration any and all circumstances surrounding your issue the length of time that has passed and any other offences. That's for the board of nursing just to get your license.
Dont be be so sure about the employers not being able to ask they absolutely can. They asks have you ever been arrested and if so what was the outcome? Yeah that one burgers me I have my record expunged but they still get to know anyway kinda sucks.
Yes you you can get your bachelors as long as you have your RN it won't be a problem

The answer is yes he does need to focus fully on school right now and believe that when he does have a moment between tests I'm sure he will give you the time you want. Don't argue with him about his dedication to school it will be for both your futures and that of your children. This is temporary. My kids and husband basically lost me for 2 years other than summer. Meals weren't as good they all had to pitch in to do laundry and everything else cause I had to focus. It will be alright support him he's stressed and so are you. Just breath and do today

The only thing I can recommend I'm EKGs is to know your basic strips Brady tachy sinus and what to do for them if anything. Math just know conversions and the rest should just flow. Don't stress out on the small stuff if just makes it worse. Focuse on the safety of the patient you'll never know everything. I know that's hard to realize and embrace but it's the truth.

I hear the NCSBN is great to study when this happens. I'm assuming you did well on Kaplan if so you probably have too much information floating around and are over thinking. The NCSBN is suppose to be what the board recommends and it's cheap good luck

1st just breath and yes just pay it if you can because it's been more than 24 hours in all likelihood you didn't pass. I known it's hard one of my best friends is going through the same issue and you just have to give yourself a minute and figure out where you went wrong. When you get your letter from the board it will tell you what sections you struggled in. I'm so sorry for your experience but don't give up.
I'm doing Grand Canyon University since I don't need statistics mine is a total of $17k with stats it's about $18k all inclusive. Very doable and the support of the counselors, teachers and my cohorts is fabulous. Totally love it
