    Can someone clarify this?

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi, I want to know what the other options are for someone with a nursing degree but no license. Not a revoked license, just if someone were to be denied licensure for like an impairment (physical or...

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    ok, so, update. I called the lovely board. I asked them about denial for a suicide attempt. They take it on a case by case basis. Nothing is an automatic denial; as long as you are in treatment for...

    So, I couldn't get my doctor to change the letter. It will have to be sent in as is and hope and pray for the best. I am going to try and consult with someone who knows people at the board to get...

    I need help with my resume, please.

    wish_me_luck replied to RNin's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You don't put goals on a resume. They will ask you about them usually if you get an interview and actually clinical experience shouldn't be included because if you graduated from a nursing program, it...

    HIPAA in regards to mental health + police report

    wish_me_luck replied to foreverLaur's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I am confused. Usually people who file police reports intend to press charges. I guess I don't understand why you want to file the report without pressing charges. If you are doing it to cover your...

    What happened to private practice?

    wish_me_luck replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, OP. I used to have a family physician that was by himself and not in a group and I loved that. My family and him had a falling out, unfortunately (not including me, I adored him). But, that's...

    question about obtaining licensure!?

    wish_me_luck replied to kelso1001's topic in General Nursing

    They say it can take a month, but you are fine to work, if you apply for it. It's a permanent license. You are definitely okay if you live in a compact state. I don't know about you, but I am going...
