    catebsn25 replied to sassyann85's topic in Addictions

  7. Criminal Background Check

    catebsn25 replied to michellenicole's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    catebsn25 replied to trepeace's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I had to wait almost 6 months for my ATT here in Massachusetts, but I have a criminal history so I expected that. Was there anything out of the ordinary on your application? I agree with prior...

  11. Drug-seeking in prison? Rx narcotics?

    catebsn25 replied to maddison1002's topic in Correctional

    catebsn25 replied to df0001's topic in Patient Medications

    Was this a newly admitted patient? If not I'm surprised it wasn't written in with the orders to crush and give with applesauce. Were all of the meds

    catebsn25 replied to RNtoCRNA22's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    catebsn25 replied to chinadoll88's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Check on your state's board of nursing website. I believe where I live in Massachusetts it said to not apply if you have current/open charges against you. Also check with your school. It is not out of...

    catebsn25 replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Knowing that visitors often frequent this forum makes me feel hopeful that we actually can break down the shame, stigma and ignorance. And I believe that allowing others to ask questions and read...

  18. should I appeal

    catebsn25 replied to DrelDavis's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not sure how you could even go about appealing that, would your classmate back you up? Even then I'm not sure where it would get you. In my state they give you 3 tries for the clinical part of the...

    catebsn25 replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Students
