    CON withholding proof of graduation!!!!

    FolksBtrippin replied to KelERnurse's topic in General Students

    I really feel for you and I think what your school is doing is unfair. I think it is worth a written complaint, a letter to the board of nursing, to the college board, to whomever might be able to...

    Reporting to BON

    FolksBtrippin replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Do you have information to give the BON? It doesn't sound to me like you do, since you have cut off contact with her. It sounds like her parents are telling you all of this. Have you advised them to...

    Dying to be a Nurse

    FolksBtrippin replied to MTaylor310's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    OP, I suggest that you go to a lawyer and see about getting your conviction expunged from your record. It will cost you some money and time, but is definitely worth it if this is what is holding you...

    FolksBtrippin replied to RNtoBe14's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Call the nursing recruiter or HR pro and ask when the residency starts and when they start selecting candidates. I'll bet anything that the residencies you applied for will not start until July or...
