My advice is to get your own FBI background check done and find out privately what it shows. I find it very hard to believe a misdemeanor offense that has been expunged would show up on this.

I doubt anyone will agree with me but this is just my opinion. I suggest talking to your doctor again or maybe a different doctor, explain to him/her your health problems that affect your dayshift job performance. Ask the doctor if there is anything new available (drug/treatment) that could provide significantly greater relief from the dehibilitating symptoms you described. It never hurts to ask. If this leads to a happy outcome then you can go back to your preferred day shift schedule. Hopefully. If this results in a "no,sorry there is nothing out there we haven't already tried on you." I would of course try the suggestions here that you like the most. Good luck!

My thinking is what's so great about this compact thing anyway? It really only works in the favor of the nurse if you travel or live close to another compact state with that giving you more job opportunities. But if you move to another state you are still required to obtain licensure from your new state. Wow some benefit. I suspect money (not for the working nurses of course) is a major player in this scheme.
