Is there fall risk for people with panic disorder? If they are admitted to the hospital should certain precautions be taking? Like keeping bed at lowest position? Thanks!

I had to laugh at this. Kinda made my day

Most documents regarding arrest dates, disposition, etc will come from the clerk of court in your state. When you do obtain these types of document always have them certified and stamped

if you only have that one thing on your record then you will be fine to sit for the nxclex..

I'm still so confused myself. You said you plan to volunteer at a hospital and I am wondering if you would have to disclose your record. My theft misdemeanor has been expunged, but i am worried when I become a nurse If I have to disclose my record t...

What weight/size is considered obese? People automatically assume thin people are generally healthy. Well, I'm 5'5,110 pounds, look like I have worked out my whole life and I even have a 6 pack to prove that lie. Get this, I can barely make it up a ...

If you plan to take the class get Microbiology Super Review by Lauren Gross.. I purchased this book for my sister, who failed her first micro class and re-took it and got a B. She said it was because of this book! Good Luck

Thanks for posting your story and good luck with everything!

I understand everything you stated. I had a friend that was killed by a drunk driver but some of things you said was just plain unnecessary.

Congrats!!!! I wish you well. My story is a little different. I have a misdemeanor on my record and want to be a nurse. Its 7 years old but I am hoping that BON can see how I have turned my life around. You inspire me..

CONGRATS!!!! :cheers:

To the op, you didn't do anything wrong and in my opinion you have every right to feel the way you do. I find it odd how most of the nurses here are trying to take your head off but Im sure if it was them they would feel the same way. I guess because...

I took the TEAS randomly today and did good! I scored a 74. The school that I want to attend only requires a composite of 66% and a science score of 60. My background: I never completed high school and went on to get my G.E.D. I have yet to take any ...

If you don't mind, can you share your individual scores for each subject. I am taking it tmrw randomly and I am just curious. I have a great feeling that i will do poorly on the science as I have no science background. What is your take on the scienc...

There is a self teaching manual called E-Z A&P on amazon.com by Barron. You should look into getting it. It break down a lot of the things you learn in those dense text books. I go back to school this summer and I have always purchased a self tea...

Your scores aren't bad. If the school you are attending is very competitive, i would suggest taking it one more time. You have a feel for what the test is going to be like and maybe you can study more in those areas where you scored the lowest

@FLmomof5 do you have a criminal background? if so, has it been hard for you to gain employment? also, does it show up when you apply for jobs at ltc or hospitals? I have a misdemeanor theft but I had it expunged. I know it will show up with BON but ...

honestly if i were you I would just look into applying at another school. Try to stay out of trouble and keep a clean record especially if you really want to be a nurse. It maybe all fun now but you will cry later. I have a criminal record and trying...

Congrats. Hope u get it

I have one misdemeanor theft (7years) and I am wondering if someone can help me find a clearance check list that automatically excludes certain convictions from becoming a RN/CNA in maryland. I have checked their website and can't find anything! I ju...

@studentjoy- see that's the tricky thing about it. When i got fingerprinted for the LPN school I actually called down to BCI&I(FBI) to be certain that the record was expunged and what would be disclosed to the school. The catch is that if you wor...

@arlenejross Did you have to jump through any hoops to get into MC because of your record? I really want to go to this school for nursing and I hear its a great school. When I got my CNA license in Ohio it was fairly easy and I didn't have to do any...

I had a theft on my record and I pled guilty as well but I am from ohio and i was able to get it expunged. Did you talk to only one lawyer about it and are you certain that you can't have it expunged/sealed or pardon? Trust me, I know how you feel. Y...

thank you for this info lyn! when you do background checks for employment do they usually fingerprint you? did you meet anyone in the program that had a criminal history?
