    CrazyCoconut replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Texas Nursing

    I hope not! I did talk to an enforcement officer from TX and looks like I have to disclose speeding tickets because in TX, it's considered a Class C misdemeanor whereas other states consider it as an...

  3. Dr refuse to sign accommodations for NCLEX.

    CrazyCoconut replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Thank you, Viva. So it IS true that by having accommodations for NCLEX, you are labelled as a Nurse with Disability permanently? Geez. I thought even minor disabilities like my chronic insomnia...

  6. Multi-state licensing woes

    CrazyCoconut replied to keriharper's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I agree, it varies largely on the state's BON per case basis. I tried talking to Enforcement but they can never give you a definite answer. A little off topic, but when you applied to TX, you had to...

  7. Do nursing schools get paid if a student passes the NCLEX in a certain state?

    CrazyCoconut posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Sorry, this is a bizarre question. I'm applying out of state because I am moving after graduation but my program wants me to apply to the state we're in. Why is this? There's got to be some incentive...

  11. TX: Having a dilemma with application eligibility issues

    CrazyCoconut replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thank you! The thing that gets me though, are those questions that ask about eligibility and marking "no." For example, it asks if I got convicted with a misdeamenor and my answer to that would be...

  13. TX: Having a dilemma with application eligibility issues

    CrazyCoconut replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thanks for the reply! I found out that I don't have to report Class C misdeamenor traffic violations! It says on the application I can exclude. Also, the juvenile record that I have I don't have to...

    CrazyCoconut posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hi, I have a disability (sort of) related to insomnia secondary to an airway syndrome, similar to sleep apnea but not quite. I have not encountered any problems in clinical, just maybe occasional...

  15. Which of the following court documents would be relevant when submitting to the BON?

    CrazyCoconut posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I understand my BON says it wants certified court documents AND police reports related to each conviction. However, it isn't really specific on which and so I'm wondering if anyone can clue me in on...

  18. Any ADN-BSN programs in Texas (Not RN-BSN)?

    CrazyCoconut replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Texas Nursing

    Just to clarify and let's say this is the worst case scenario: What happens if you do not pass the NCLEX? Do these programs automatically kick you out? I'd imagine that would be a waste of time and...

  20. Any quick ways to recall nursing dx right off the bat?

    CrazyCoconut posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm having trouble making a nursing dx for patients symptoms in class. I can't seem to think as fast as my classmates. Any shortcuts or ways to associate a dx? It's kind of hard to explain. I'm a...

  21. Any ADN-BSN programs in Texas (Not RN-BSN)?

    CrazyCoconut replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm in a program from out-of-state. Yeah I think most or all RN-BSN programs in Texas require a temporary or permanent RN license. A Interim Permit probably would not

    CrazyCoconut posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    ...do I give the Texas BON court documents and arrest reports from out-of-state as well? I can't find anything about this on the BON. For the record, I have a traffic violation of $600+ and a juvy...

    CrazyCoconut replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough. I would have an ADN degree but no official RN license yet. I was wondering if there's any programs in Texas that offer online ADN to BSN programs without the need...

  24. Do these events require any action before applying for RN license in California?

    CrazyCoconut posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I think it's safe to say I don't have a criminal history or anything. But I was wondering if anyone could cue in if I need to take action for any of these events in my past before applying for the RN...
