I am a practicing RN. I have a DWI Felony conviction. I am thinking about going back to school for NP but I don't know if I would be get denied by board in Florida for my conviction. Any advice? helpful thoughts? Thanks

I am looking for recommendations for an online program for PMHNP. Thank you in advance!

Is being a No Show / No Call abandonment? If a nurse simply fails to show up to work for a period of time?

Nurse, now I'll need the bedpan!

Now I definitely need the bedpan!

The Pharmaceutical Rep convention is down the hall!

Alright, I promise, no more call bell!

I self-reported a DWI to the Florida BON. I called a couple of times to check the status of my case. The BON hasn't returned my call and the status of my license is still active. I find this odd. Anyone have a similar experience? It's been a few mont...

I see a BSN is needed to work in major hospitals within New York City. Does this hold true across the nation, for every state? If not, do you think it's definitely headed in that direction?

I currently have my RN License in NY and FL. My DWI case is pending. What can I expect after conviction? What is the process with the Board of Nursing? Thanks and all the best to everyone and their recovery.

I am currently licensed. I have an open case for a DWI Felony. Thank God, no one was hurt and I am in recovery but there was property damage and I blew very high. Does anyone have any direct experience or know of anyone with DWI Felony who managed to...

I am in NY State. Is a termination automatically reported to the Board of Nursing? Thanks.

It's a no-show, no-call. Thanks for your response. When you renew a license is there a question to the effect of , "have you been terminated / faced disciplinary action....?"

Good luck but don't be minimize your actions or be nonchalant in front of the board. It will work against you.

Thanks. I wonder how to get started with a monitoring contract. I suppose through the BON? Not sure what IPN is. I'll google it.

Thanks I self-reported to Florida, as its the law, but in NY I was told by the board that I don't have to report until I renew my license. However, I appreciate your point of, The Sooner The Better. Thanks.

Typed in VE and automatically go with the first drug that comes up on the list? IF this is true it's extremely reckless and dumb.

I feel I am working hard, not smart, at finding a hospital job in NYC. I only have my associate degree which I know a big problem with the current trend to only hire those with BSN. Unfortunately, I did not schmooze, network, like I should have whil...

Thanks for your reply

I paid one company online that has a great rep but according to them I have nothing in my history. I wish that was true but it's not. I have misdemeanor convictions in my past. Where can I see what the Nursing Board will see? How can I get a REAL Cr...

I ran a background check via Criminal History Record Search - N.Y. State Courts I had a misdemeanor arrest from many years ago that did not show up for me. If they did not show up for me do you think they will not show up for the Board? Which search...

Thank you. I can get a criminal history record from NYS Office of Court Administration? Is there any additional info you can give me? A specific dept, contact or number? If not, I will search, starting with, "NYS Office of Court Administration". Tha...

I recently graduated with my Associate's and passed the NCLEX! I don't know whether or not to pursue my Bachelor's degree Online or not. Can anyone recommend a good online school? One that is relatively affordable? Would an online degree hurt me in...

Hello: I sent my Authorization To Test form to the New York State Board and just heard back. I am not proud of it and not happy to announce this for thousands of people to read but I would like to reach out and get helpful feedback from others in my...
