Where to go as a nurse if you dont want to work with patients at ALL?
You have received many suggestions. Have you spoken with a career coach to maybe ignite your passion? I know this sounds a bit bogus, but as someone who also dislikes direct patient care (as a bedside RN) for similar reasons, I found my passion for rural and underserved populations. I have recently completed my MSN as an FNP and when I found my passion, it changed my perspective and feelings on nursing entirely. I do have a few more suggestions, which would require continuing your education and perhaps maintaining a bedside position until your degree was completed. Policy advocate (this requires some interest in a population and knowledge on politics, etc...) Academic nurse writer (may require a terminal degree depending on your level of expertise) Legal nurse consultant. Nurse educator (depending on your setting. Hospital educators do not often have patient contact.) Best of luck!

Will my expunged records show in fingerprint check for BON?
There are many websites available that may aid you in your search. They require payment, but a Google search of "perform background check" will give you options and I'd look at reviews and what all they offer. You want a federal background check for a comprehensive look and any states you've lived/committed crimes in.

Moving to Charlotte- any insight on pay, location, hospitals
Novant: shift diff is 4.00. weekends is 1-2$ (I am not 100% sure as I work only weekends and get paid differently for that). culture: is great. Nurse-centered. Truthfully, it’s a good place to work. Also, if you’re looking for a unit to work on, I know ours is hiring. I don’t want to openly post the name of the unit, but I will be glad to give you my info. There are referral bonuses ?

patients who leave the floor against doctors orders
Uhm, you can leave, but as many have already stated, at the risk of being discharged. If you do not have an order, it is likely you can't leave the floor. Without knowing your medical history (which I don't recommend including here as you've already provided your name, which is dangerous), I cannot provide further information. Perhaps you're on some type of precautions that puts other patients at risk if you leave your room. Discuss with your doctor and nurse.

Should I....?
Absolutely! You have a solid foundation with your experience and an LPN license. Think of it as a promotion!

Old Dominion University DNP
I am not! I live in NC. I am about four hours outside of VA Beach. I do! I really enjoy the majority of the professors, which ultimately led me to pursuing their DNP program. I am going part time.

Got new full time job, still working 8-10hrs prn at old job and they are still taking benefits out.
I would recommend seeing if you can get in touch with someone (not on leave). I am assuming someone else will be on duty for her?

Becoming a CNM
Straight into a BSN program.

BSN program
Depends on your route following your BSN. WGU, an online school, is known for its "fast" approach. You pay $3 grand and some change for 6 months of courses. You're expected to complete a certain amount, but can complete more. I have heard of folks completing the program in 6 months, but commonly you hear a year. Papers are inevitable. You may want to seek out a program that will teach you the skills to write professionally.
