Thank you for your information. It is very hard to find a clear cut answer as there are thousands of laws. I have searched the AMA, CA Medial Board, and Telemed.gov sites, even the nursing board site. It is impossible to get a definitive answer just by reading through never ending legal information that never hits on the point. Yes, I thought of talking to a lawyer, but I'm sure my employer would not appreciate me contacting their lawyer, and I did send an email to the Director of Clinics only to not get a response - I got the hint he does not want an issue over it. I do have a final step that I think I will get an answer. I now beleive, as well, that it is okay that I see patients as long as nothing invasive is done. It could be more of a liability for the organization and less likely for me. Though my concern is not just about me, but is for everyone as a whole. Thank you for your interest and help!!!

Well possibly, however the parient(s) will be in the office to see a Dr. of Psychology over the TV (telemed). But there will be no provider physically here if something goes wrong (heart attack, stroke, compative patient, allergic reaction, etc).

I am scheduled to see patients without a provider on the premises at a clinic where I work. Where do I find California law regarding having clinics being open without a provider on the premises - I thought it was illegal due to the fact it puts patients and facility at risk for liability, let alone the risk to myself and the one other front office staff member. That particular day I will be bringing patients back to see the psychologist via telemed (TV). I would like to find proof that it is not standard practice. Thank you for your support, it is much appreciated.

Informative. Thank you very much.

Thanks!

Ok. - In 2001 I received my LVN Certification at a particular college (X) without an AS degree. - In 2009/10 I started working on some pre-requisites at community college (Z) to get into a particular ADN program that is out of my geographical area. I then went into the ADN step-up program and failed clinical (My nervousness did not help me around this particular instructor; however, I did well earlier that day with another instructer). Whatever. - I went back to College (Z) to complete my AS degree. I arranged it with them so that they would give me an Associates of Science LVN degree, and they did once I transferred my LVN program transcripts from the first college (X). At both community colleges (X & Z) I did very well. - I then tried another ADN upgrade program and was 1/2 way thru the last semester and got axed from the clinical rotation I ironically did fine in at the other ADN school. Geez, maybe I just need to step back and take a break.

Thanks!!

Yeah. Ha. Nursing shortage - Schools crank nurses out like crazy. I expect there will be a nursing shortage to come for other reasons other that the "Baby Boomer" theory. Thanks for your input;)

Thanks

How long do companies keep applications on non-hires, and what is their system for tracking non-hire hard copy and computerized applications.

What do employers use to find potential employee employment history? I want this public list on myself.

My goodness Bayat. I wish I had known about All Nurses years ago - It has been a wealth of information thus far. This has been a painful transition for me and I can't tell you how much I appreciate the time that you spent knowing that there must be thousands of registered users. I thought my resume seemed cluttered but I was not sure what I needed to keep, delete or rearrange. Your response is exactly what I was looking for. By the way, I aqcuired my AS degree for my LVN in 2012 after I got my LVN certification & license in 2001 from a different college. Thank you so very much.

I've been told you can go in scrubs and be ready to work. I would prefer to interview in scrubs, but I believe it depends on who you are dealing with - big facility, little facility, rural versus urban, and the personnality of the interviewers. But how are you to know. I agree with your comment and the below comment. Use discretion. I always fear I'm going to over professionalize my dress and look better and more professional than the interviewee, so I tend towards business casual attire.

As you may already know, it can help to practice answering some of these questions with a friend or out load to yourself prior to interview. As you read the questions above, you might right away have confidence on how you would answer some of them; however, sometimes it can be different when saying it out load and especially for the first time.

Thank you so much for your advice, it already has helped. Yes - the AS degree at the other school was Honors. LVN certificate I have to dig out and look at my grade point average - it was good too, something like 3.5 to 3.8. You are so sweet to sent me the above quotes.:)
