Everyone has their niche. That's why nursing is great. I did peds for 6 years and loved it at first then regretted starting in peds because I forgot everything adult. Then sometime have me a chance in hospice, and I devoured every thing related to old folks and am having the time of my life. That being said, I do wish I had spent 2 years in med surge. it would have made everything easier, and would have made me a better nurse.

OK we got you and me so far. Which would work. Let me know if you want to get started and set up a discord or hangouts or something else, or should we wait and see if anyone else is interested? PS, sorry I didn't get back earlier, I didn't realize anyone responded. I will try to adjust notifications now. Michelle

I have just recently become a hospice nurse, after 6 years in PEDS and would like to join a journal club, if there are any. In case you haven't heard of this, a journal club is where a group of people in a certain field get together monthly and take turns presenting a synopsis of a journal article they read. It is a great way to save money and time while learning the latest evidence based practices. Do you know of any? If not, would you like to start one with me?

I too am looking for used ACHPN books, if anyone has some for a reasonable price, let me know.

Yes, I disclosed everything to the sate of Washington, and they gave me a license without restrictions. As far as expunging is concerned, I have talked to a couple lawyers and it is only possible to expunge the most recent charge. Since this was a period of time from 16-19 years old when I made multiple mistakes , removing the most recent charge (shoplifting from 19 yrs ago), is not worth the trouble.

Help me get a nursing job, Please. I need advise on what type of jobs RN's have landed with a criminal background and no experience. I graduated with honors in MAY, 2013 at the age of 37 from an associates RN program in Florida. I then moved to Seattle, Wa to pursue my career and be close to family. I passed the NCLEX-RN and now have my WA state RN license. I landed my first nursing job in Pediatric home health taking care of a little boy with brain damage, but I was fired 4 weeks later when my FBI background check came back. When interviewed I was asked if I have a criminal history, I said yes, but it is over 15 years ago, the interviewer responded "OK" without further questions, then she hired me. Four weeks later I was fired by the owner of the company who stated that the family loved me, but that I never should have been hired. I have been serving food at IHOP ever since. The problem is I have 3 misdemeanor shoplifting and a gross misdemeanor Violation Of Controlled Substances Act (possession), from 19 years ago. To top it off I don't have any real world health care experience. One positive thing tough, is I have been working for the last 13 years as a big box retail assistant manager. I am worried that the director and professors of my program have led me astray. I am hoping that someone out there has some suggestions of what time of jobs might hire someone like me, with a past.
