Does anyone know what happens after a 12 month Warning with Stips order is complete? Does it disappear from my license info on the TXBON website? Are employers still able to look it up?

Has anyone ever had problems arise during their NP program because of past disciplinary action? Any problems with credentialing or getting a job after graduation?

I am new to the Emergency Department. The last three women (65+yrs old) I had to straight cath, I could not get it. I need advice. I really hate to put these patients through multiple attempts. My preceptors couldn't do it, either.

I went from two years of PACU to Endoscopy for a total of 3 months. Hated endo! The only reason I took the position is because I moved to a new city and wanted to stay with my company...that was the only position they had available at the time. In...

The endo center where I worked, the pre-op and circulating nurses never gave narcs. Anesthesia did all the sedation. Fentanyl was used very rarely in post-op for the occasional liver biopsy patient. You just have to interview and talk with manager...

I had a warning on my license for a year from the Texas BON, and I'm currently in an ACNP program. I was worried about the same thing, so I called the DEA. An investigator told me that previous disciplinary action wouldn't keep me from getting my D...

I shadowed with DaVita once and they said they never give narcs. An endoscopy center might work for you. They might keeps narcs in the pharmacy just incase, but would rarely administer them. Also, working in pre-op, OR, or PAT at a surgery center ...

I've read that, too, about breathing the fumes. When I had to use hand sanitizer the couple of times when in monitoring, I held my hands far from my face until they were dry. I really worried in the beginning about what other nurses would say about...

I have heard that you would have to bathe in or drink hand sanitizer in order to come up positive for EtG. I had to use it once or twice in desperate situations while I was being monitored, and it scared the heck out of me. I never came up positive...

Also intraoperative neuro monitoring, which I always thought would be interesting. They require at least a BS, and BSN is one of the preferred degrees.

Get all the info you can from your old school regarding if they reported you to the BON, and if the reason for your suspension from the program will be available to other universities. Since you successfully completed their requirements, and are in ...

Medical device sales or pharm sales. Many have BSN listed as preferred educational background.

If you are in good standing with the university you were suspended from, do you even have to tell another school about the positive drug screen? Of course you'd have to give a reason if you were currently suspended or on probation, but you aren't. ...

Also, if you answer YES to the addiction/mental illness question on the licensure application, you will most likely end up in a 3-5 year (depending on the state) super-strict, expensive, time-consuming monitoring program that will make it almost impo...

First of all, if you don't have a substance abuse problem, do not tell the BON that you do. You were given an evaluation that found that you do not have an addiction problem, correct? Leave it at that and answer NO on your NCLEX application. If yo...

Did your school report you to the BON? If they did, you will most likely have to do some sort of monitoring program for a time period as a RN. If they didn't report you to the BON, I'd think you would be all-clear. Monitoring programs are not a ca...

Do not tempt fate with your monitoring program! Yes, the rules suck and many of them are plain silly, but just imagine how much worse it will get if you test positive (or false positive).

Thanks for your honesty, and I know how you feel! I am a critical care nurse by nature, but had to give it up for my year long Board Order. I tried pediatric home health for a couple of months and didn't like it at all. I finally found an outpatie...

I am just days away from being finished with my 12 month Warning w/Stips. The TXBON seems to be dragging this out as long as they can. My 12 months should have ended on December 9th, but I am not officially finished until I am picked for my Decembe...

Well, it figures that the BON would drag this out as long as possible.... my 12 months ended December 9th, and I still haven't been picked for my final drug test. I'm fully expecting to be picked on the 31st, lol! Can't wait to be done with the BON...

If the BSN program requires clinicals, then you probably won't be able to get in with an encumbered license. The school might be okay with it, but unfortunately the clinical sites will not. If your restrictions will end before clinicals begin, it m...

I'm a PACU RN and met my boyfriend of 2 years at work. He's a CRNA. :)

No, I didn't get a lawyer. I don't think it would have made a difference for me. If you are in Texas, they will offer you EEP. Do it and DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL. I made that regrettable choice and ended up with a formal Warning. Thankfully, it will...

You need to contact your BON and ask what info you need to submit to them and get that started ASAP. Last thing you want to do is finish nursing school and THEN find out that you can't take NCLEX (it happens!). I'm in Texas and I had a MIP at age 2...
