Hello, I was just hired by a nursing home, to work in a temporary registry position. What does this mean? I am going to ask but thought I would start here. I am required to work at least 8 days a month. I know what registry is but is temporary mean it is a short term position or could it mean because I will be floating and being temporary in different wings of the nursing home (it is huge) with each wing having different levels of care. When I was hired at first he said it is registry and then temp. He refers to it as both. Just curious on others thoughts. Either way, I am excited about the position. Thanks!

Good luck you guys! I was in your shoes two years ago! I am in my last semester of Nursing at JJC. I know how nerve fraying the whole process is. You should know in a month or two! Good luck again!

I am hoping I can get some help with someone who may have some experience. I am currently a licensed practical nurse in Illinois. I received my license in October after going through the rigorous process because I have a felony on my record. However, the conviction was 13 years ago and I was granted my license!!! I got hired at an Assisted living facility and now I was called today and let go because my background had a disqualifying conviction that is on the Illinois Department of Public Health list. How can this be? I cleared all background and received my license from Illinois Dept. of Professional and Financial Regulation. I know I could apply for a waiver Of course, this happens on a Sunday and now can't call until tomorrow. On the website of the IDPH, it states that licensed professionals with a license from IDPFR are exempt from the Healthcare Background Check Act. Am I missing something or could this possibly be a mistake? I am just looking for helpful comments and appreciate any insight. Thank you.

I am starting Nursing school in the fall and all of the Professors informed us to purchase a cheap one for school. I bought the Prestige Combo and if it doesn't cut it then I will invest in a more expensive one.
