    krisiepoo replied to Guttercat's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  8. Dual License

    krisiepoo replied to Spika RN's topic in General Nursing

    krisiepoo replied to magicmom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    krisiepoo replied to Fun2Nurse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Can you hire a lawyer and get it expunged? It was 19 years ago, if you've not had problems since it might be an option. Did you disclose this to the BON when you got

  15. Days or Nights

    krisiepoo replied to aelorrieta's topic in General Students

  16. Failed Second Fundamentals Test

    krisiepoo replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

  20. Is it possible to find a new grad RN job without healthcare experience?

    krisiepoo replied to Cynnie24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't have any experience and just got my first job, graduated in December, NCLEX in January and start in March... If you're able to look outside the box, you might have more luck. I looked in...

    krisiepoo replied to clarinets's topic in General Students

    I learned a TON in clinicals because the nurses saw that I was busting my butt. I answered call lights, I helped the CNA's, I helped the nurses when they needed an extra hand. I always asked if they...
