  1. Don't know what to do???

    twinsmom788 replied to _bobby_leee's topic in Nursing Career

    Ok you are 23. What you must do now is get serious about school and life if you want to be an MD. My daughters entered medical school at age 22. Figure out where you can finish your schooling at a 4...

  3. Registered Dietitian vs. Public Health Nurse?

    twinsmom788 replied to indrani987's topic in Nursing Career

    With an MPH, working with the state Department of Health is a given in most states. I would not recommend spending $$$ on becoming an RD. Your cost/ benefit ratio would be painful. You also probably...

  7. Infractions, petty offenses

    twinsmom788 replied to Left Behind's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I have reviewed 1000s of board applications....and to be honest I would not even report this. If it does show up, you will get a letter asking for an explanation in writing. When I started reading, I...

  10. Malignant Hyperthermia Deaths Related to Inadequate Temperature Monitoring

    twinsmom788 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Interesting link to genetics. We as OR nurses were very well trained in MH signs, symptoms, and treatment. One thing I've often wondered can a person who has experienced several anesthesias more...

  11. FL BON and DUI -- Anyone with info?

    twinsmom788 replied to JamesC18's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Totally agree with this post. Two pieces of advice. You have separate issues here and will be better served to have two separate attorneys. Your criminal attorney will serve you best by having your...

  12. do expunged charges matter

    twinsmom788 replied to kristen312's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The BON cannot tell you anything because you have not graduated and applied to take the NCLEX. Has your case been to court? Are you on probation? The first step to take will be to notify your school....

  13. Want to be an OR Nurse! How?

    twinsmom788 replied to reaghankate's topic in Operating Room

    twinsmom788 replied to kiej35's topic in Nursing Career

    Agree with above poster. The BON of either state VA or NC can advise you. You may have to test in VA and apply for licensure in NC. Also check the BON website in MN. If memory serves, they allow...

  16. Can I escape my checkered nursing past?

    twinsmom788 replied to SweetRN88's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You were very fortunate to have simply received a reprimand. In my state you would have lost your license to practice. A career change out of health care sounds like your best

  17. CRNA vs MDA. Who wins?

    twinsmom788 replied to TheNextCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  19. CRNA vs MDA. Who wins?

    twinsmom788 replied to TheNextCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I will be straight upfront. Both of my daughters are physicians and my SIL is an MD anesthesiologist. Unless you have walked in the shoes of a medical student/ resident there is no way of...

  20. If you accept a job, stay at least a year

    twinsmom788 replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Not certain where all this guilt tripping posts are coming from. As a nurse who has worked for the BON and also has been a surveyor in 2 states....and worked open heart surgery, pediatric surgery,...

  21. Voluntary relinquishes RN License

    twinsmom788 replied to trein's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am speaking as an RN who worked at a BON. You should easily be able to get your license reinstated. Always remember , only the BON of a state is the only agency who can take away your license...

  25. State Calls Floor Nurse at Home?

    twinsmom788 replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Geriatric, LTC
