    If you're honest with the board there will never be a problem. Many nurses with mental illness practice in

    What states don't require disclosure of mental illness to get licensed?

    OrganizedChaos replied to dilhrchick's topic in General Students

    I had a "friend" who lied to the TXBON about her mental illness. She originally told the board that she is Bipolar. A few years later she went to renew her license & put on the renewal that she is...

    I couldn't read your previous post to do formatting error. Before I go off on a tanget (about religion), I'll just end it now. I'm glad you see that the OP is probably trolling us. You're case is...

    What nursing career would suit my mother?

    I don't know where this fits so feel free to move it. My mother works for the State of Texas. They just implemented a hiring freeze & want to consolidate all nonessential jobs. Her job falls under...

    What nursing career would suit my mother?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    This (current) job didn't appeal to her, she took it because it pays the bills. Yes, there are a few other healthcare careers in our town but the competition is fierce & most places want...

    I'm an atheist or agnostic but God had nothing to do with you passing. If he did, why didn't he let you take the NCLEX sooner & so you wouldn't have to waste time & money? License refresher...

    Reading the posts vs. actually commenting are two different things. What does conversing in person have to do with this subject? I don't see the correlation. Have you looked at the OP's other similar...

    I want to thank everyone for their suggestions. I don't want it to seem like I am making excuses or pushing my mother to be a nurse unnecessarily. If I could show you guys the newspaper ads for jobs...

    Joined just yesterday & only posts in the NCLEX forum. Ok, I'll bite. The OP needs to go back to school if she so desperately wants to be a nurse. No in person review will help her since she has...
