Thanks all, appreciate the second opinion

Hey everyone, I'm a new grad NP who just received their DEA registration certificate in the mail. On the certificate it shows schedules 2, 2n, 3, 3n, 4, 5 but I had received a letter from the board of nursing that my college did not meet the pharmacology requirement for prescribing controlled prior to receiving the registration certificate. My question is am I eligible to prescribe schedule II medication based on the registration certificate alone? I have taken the required 3 hours of CEs today and have mailed it out to my BoN but in the interim should I prescribe scheduled medication? I work in an oncology practice and patients often times need medication for pain management and my BoN (California) is very slow at processing things. TIA Christopher P. Do, NP-C

Hello I'm just wondering whether my resume is up to snuff. I've currently been using this resume and have been called in for an interview. So I feel like it's okay but I think it can be improved. It's already one page and I really don't want to push into 2 pages. but I don't have a lot of talk about what I did during clinical and when I try to add it it just pushes it way to far. Any feedback is appreciated There's just some general formatting issues with copying and pasting also at the end there it doesn't have a ton of spacing but I'm mainly concerned with content Education Morehead State University, Morehead KY Bachelors of Science in Nursing, May 2013 - GPA: 3.1, Dean's List: Dec 2010, Dec 2011, May 2013 Clinical Experience Nursing Practicum Baptist Health: Lexington, KY Spring '13 Chronic Health Issues King's Daughter Medical Center: Ashland, KY Fall '12 Medical Surgical 2 UK Chandler Hospital: Lexington, KY Fall '12 Geriatrics St. Joseph Hospital: Mt.
