I can see an argument for option one or two here in the absence of other information. Option three looks like it was quoted straight out of a textbook. If the nurse in this scenario chose option one, it was because the nurse had the information to justify that decision.

It is hard to clearly make out what the OP is saying. Really vague IMO. I want to make assumptions based on what is missing, but I know I would tear the OP apart if I did. OP, this was your second week on your own. If you want to put this job on your resume, it will come back to haunt you if your next potential employer does enough digging. You already have two other jobs going for you. Make the best of that. From what I am getting here, I don't think you are capable of working in an environment with a faster pace.

Only $3 between a CNA and nurse? Must be a cushy job for the nurses, otherwise, I don't see any retention.

Look at CA BON's reporting policies for license revocation. I am willing to bet that if you really wanted to pursue your nursing career, you could get away with it in another state, or another country if it came down to it. Before jumping the gun on anything, consult a lawyer familiar with these types of cases.

This is nursing; the exception to the rule.

If a record is expunged and a background check wouldn't acknowledge it, why disclose it? Best route is to consult with a lawyer familiar with these checks on whether or not an expunged record with surface and then make a decision. Disclosing when the other party could not access it anyways = bad Not disclosing when the other party could access it = bad Disclosing when the other party could access it = good Not disclosing when the other party could not access it = good

You are a new grad. What you are currently experiencing is expected. Pass the test of time and work for your respect.

If you have the money, you can screw the rules and go for red bottoms.

Who cares if you "lose those skills." You don't need those skills for your easy job. And why would you give up such an easy job to do floor nursing? I call these #firstworldproblems If you eventually move over to floor nursing, you'll have orientation and some time to brush up. No reason not to take a cushy job right now. Enjoy the easy job. Enjoy the money flowing in. Enjoy going home at the end of the day and not collapsing upon entering your place.

Wait until you get it expunged and save yourself from the hassle of dealing with your state's BON.

Which one is it? I'll make it easier on you; is she on instagram?

All is fair in love and war... and job interviews Think this one through. If there is a complaint against your license, you should find a job ASAP before the complaint surfaces. If the employer has spent time and money orienting / training you, they aren't going to let you go over a minor complaint that surfaces later. And under what circumstances would this employer learn about said complain? I've been reading a lot on this site recently and a lot of nurses seem to have gotten into this habit of offering more information than they need to.

And what if you don't report it? My money is on the employer not reporting this incident to the BON. Meaning that you are the only one who can shoot yourself here. Either way, your license, your choice. I am not suggesting anything here other than for you to perform a full assessment of this situation.

Nursing school: tell them what they want to hear (especially during clinical practice) New job: kiss the right asses and suck up to whoever has influence

I've found they go on sale right when the weather starts to take a turn for the worse. If the OP waits until November / December, it will be a buyer's market.

My understanding through having read many peer reviewed papers is that you must be a young, white and middle class female in order to worship the deities Ana and Mia. This seems conflicting.

You can't just be any normal guy to get preferential treatment. You have to be an agent of the Patriarchy to get preferential treatment.

As the above poster stated, two years of steady employment is the standard for getting a mortgage. You might find some lenders to be flexible on this, or you might have a staff member trying to reach a quota who might give you the benefit of the doubt. If you shop around, you might be able to beat the standard.

But remember that this division could be your ticket to deferring the work to someone else. I haven't tried this, but if I had a Christian patient that was very strong about his or her views, and I claimed to be a Muslim, I would expect that this patient would request a different nurse. If the patient was really easy to work with, this wouldn't be a good idea, but if the patient were difficult, it would be an easy way out.

I'd like to visit Florida for more than just a short vacation. I couldn't imagine living there though.

I was drawn to this career by a close friend. This friend explained to me that every two weeks, you would receive a piece of paper which you could take to the bank and exchange it for this green paper which you could exchange for material goods. I look back at this explanation and think to myself, "best career advice ever." Nursing has satisfied my materialistic desires and more (see: candycrush)!

Obviously the system is broken and abused, but the path of least resistance is to let it continue. I don't want to argue with Drugs Bunny every time he or she is angling for another dose of drugs. If the person isn't presenting as over-sedated or reacting adversely to the drug, I really don't see the point in trying to start something.

Being disrespectful =/= violence Uttering threats = violence If I tell a co-worker to hurry the **** up or if I tell a co-worker that they are useless, neither of those things is "violence." Yes it is disrespectful, but if you walk out after I say either of those things to you, you are solely at fault.

CNA is the harder job. I've worked with a lot of people that have made that transition and they all say the same thing. Only worth it if the increase in pay is significant enough to justify the leap. Then there's the $15 minimum wage issue which I won't go into here because it will be a very long piece of work where there isn't a conclusive "yes" or "no" to whether or not you should become a CNA instead.

What is the base pay. "$5 less" doesn't paint the whole picture. Will this affect your ability to live an adequate life? If you average 40 hours per week, $5 x 40 = 200 x 52 = 10,400 x marginal tax rate = what you are missing out on If the $5 difference is between $30 and $35, I would say there is less to worry about than if the difference were between $25 and $30. But the real question is, which job requires less effort? If the easier one pays more, you really should be questioning your "dream job." But I really shouldn't go there since I am not your life coach. I hope you make your decision rationally though.
