That's not the way they do it here. NA seniority is NA seniority, when you transfer to an RN role the seniority goes by how many years the nurse has worked in med-sutg.

We work in a outpatient part of the hospital so we are closed weekends no matter what. The RNS take call on weekends.. Just thought it was a bit unfair to those who have been RNS waiting for a shift to open here and wasn't done the way it states in the contract

This is a union as well, which is why people are upset. The manager bent the rules and did not post the position because she wanted this new grad to get it. The night shift nurses who are looking for days do not want to be the ones to go to the union in fear of what others word say

Just wanted to get people's thoughts, a manager was very fond of one of her nursing assistants. When that NA finished her RN and became licensed, she was given a job day shift, eight hour shifts, 8-4 and 7-3 shifts, with no weekends or holidays. The job was not posted as per the nurses union and other nurses who wanted the position but didn't know it was available are afraid to make a stink because they don't want to be retaliated against. It is not right. Does stuff like this happen at other places as well?

PS. I also got a job in a hospital after I passed my LPN NCLEX, so if I passed their background check does it look promising for my RN?

Hi there! I am new here and have been stressing out so badly for days and need other opinions. I am an LPN from NY, 4 years ago, I was 19 and made a stupid mistake and got arrested. I got 3 misdemeanor charges and had one year probation. I was allowed to finish my LPN program and was given my LPN license with no pRoblems at all. I had to send a letter with my application explaining what happened and never had an issue. I will be applying for RN school in a few months and worry will they accept me and if they do will I be able to get my RN license with no problem? If it is the same state and same BON I'm hoping it will be ok just as it was for my LPN. Any thoughts?
