hi all, I'm in california and wanting to pursue my NP. I am currently on probation with the CA BRN. does anyone know of any online programs that will accept RNs while on probation or if anyone has gone through this process id love to hear your experience.

hi all for those that have successfully petitioned for a modification of your probation after the one (1) year mark - what terms were you able to get modified? I'm hoping to get the drug testing and NSG removed but I know thats unlikely just trying to see if anyone has gotten it done before.

Thanks for the reply. Actually I do enjoy talking to patients, that might be one of my best traits. I would just prefer to do it in a more laxed setting such as a clinic or outpatient rather than a hospital. Plus taking care of 5 patients (my floor is 1:5) sometimes gets overwhelming and the expectations are absurd.

Hi all, I have 2 years of psych experience and am currently working med-surg nights (about 6 months now). I've slowly come to the realization bedside nursing is not for me. I truly wanted to give it a shot for the experience and am learning so much but at the end of the day I see myself dread going to work, especially working nights and weekends. Just wanted to know what was out there in terms of non bedside nursing roles. I have a general idea such as public health, psych, education but just wanted to see what I may be missing. For those that are doing non bedside jobs and wouldn't mind briefly sharing what you do, your experience in nursing, and just the general. Thank you all so much

hank you all. especially you, tralnurse4support. nice to know that you're still lurking around on these forums. honestly i'm 50/50 on how the hearing went but i should hear back by mid december hopefully. i'll keep you guys updated.

I know there was a few of you in Ca that were in the same boat or about to be as me in regards to getting a hearing date for early termination so I figured I would keep ya'll in the loop. I've been selected for the hearing that will take place in November to get off probation early. Here is a short timeline so you know what to expect. Aug 1st, 2019 was the time that I can apply to get off early so I sent in my paperwork to the BRN that day. I received a letter from the BRN about Aug 13th stating that they have received my paperwork and that I am now in a queue for a hearing date. 2 months go by and I have yet to hear back so I sent them an e-mail the first week of October asking if I could get a hearing in November (the CA BRN website has a list of all the hearing dates). To my surprise I received a reply stating that there was an opening for November and that I would be attending that. So here we are 3 years later... if all goes well I should be off by December so fingers crossed. I should have already been off by now but my time got extended for testing positive for alcohol.

did you just submit your packet for early term? and didnt have to go a hearing? i'm in CA as well waiting to hear back for my early termination. but i do have a violation so i'm most likely going to have a hearing.

congrats you'll get approved for early termination then. usual wait time is 6-8 weeks after submitting all your paperwork. that's what i've heard from people in my nurse support groups

did you have any violations while on probation? if you have 100% compliance or minor issues, you just submit your paperwork and the brn will get back to you. no hearing required. the hearing is only for people that have violations on their record and are requesting for early termination of probation.

Not sure about other states but this is for nurses in CA. if you go to the ca brn website and type in "early termination of probation" it will pull a page with a list of things that are required... the standard duration is 3 years and apply after 2 years so i'm not sure how it works for people that only got two years initially.

Appreciate it! I honestly don't know if I can take any more of this... I'm miserable at my psych job and want to leave so bad but probation keeps holding me back.

My time for applying for early termination of probation in CA is coming soon. I do have to go to a hearing before the BRN because of a violation. Was wondering if anyone here has gone through one of these experiences or know what to expect and can share their story. TIA

well quite frankly I'm getting sick of playing their game and having to roll over to whatever they say. If I had a different mean of making money I would have left nursing a long time ago.
