Love this. I was lucky enough to get hired somewhere that was extremely open to care nurses. Being able to openly and completely speak to someone who 100% got it was invaluable. ***ing about laying out another $70 to prove i was still clean when i ha...

I work in an inpatient free standing psych facility. We are alarmingly short staffed and many days have more patients then we can realistically care for. Many of the patients we see Havre multifaceted issues and the majority of children are wards of ...

I was in a new state when i began the monitoring program for the state i lost my license in. I was in monitoring for 2 years when i was able to activate my licence in my new state. I had completed all of my requirements for the original state (except...

I am struggling with the decision to persue my MSN in Education right now. I know I need an online program and preferably something that is reasonably priced. I live In Kentucky but haven't seen any decent in state options. I think I have it narrowed...

I obtained my bsn from WilmU. It is frustrating to me they do not offer any incentives for alumni to continue their education there like many other schools.

I work at a different UHS facility. I felt my salary was comparable to other facilities in the area. As oceanblue said i have. Noticed that they tend to be short staffed. I work on a gero unit and i know my coworkers make all the difference. They are...

Consider yourself very lucky with what they gave you. I was almost done with monitoring in another state where i had NO restrictions. KBN gave me a 4 year contract that only counts if I'm working and includes a 2 year controlled substance restriction...

Aspens price is great but I've seen such mixed reviews. Has anyone actually taken classes that can give feedback?

I had a months experience when my license got suspended. I was out of nursing for several years before deciding to come back to it. No one would hire me without a diploma and i applied a lot of places-hundreds. Had lotsb of phone and in person interv...

I have been applying for nursing jobs for almost a year now with no luck. Graduated with my BSN recently (had a diploma) and have gotten a lot more calls and even interviews. Even had a company offer me the position and then resend the offer when the...

So I am going back to nursing on my first night shift job in 2 weeks. My husband has medical issues and hasn't worked for several years. We have two kids 2&3 who are currently in daycare full time. I am looking for advice from anyone who does/has...

He doesn't work for medical reasons, which is why our kids are in daycare now. They both weigh more then he is able to lift not to mention if he has a bad day where he can't even get out of bed then we are in serious trouble. He will be fine with the...

The only "experience" I had was as a patient safety attendant where I sat with individuals experiencing behavioral issues/withdrawl. I had applied to this place several times with no call back but recently finished my BSN, which seems to have kicked ...

You have to have a certain number of posts before youre able to. Just keep up on the boards and you'll get there :-)

Thank you so much for your reply CryssyD. I have heard Ohio is one of the worst states as far as recovery goes. If you don't mind sharing some more personal information please PM.

Just wanted to update you all as you have been so helpful! I am happy to say i had an interview at a behavioral health hospital and was offered a job on the spot. I am extremely nervous but thrilled to be in nursing after 6 long years and FINALLY sta...

I have applied everywhere. Had a job offer on the table and they decided they could not guarantee my stipulations would be met 100% of time. No controlled substances, cant work more than 88 hours in 2 weeks, no management or supervising, cant travel ...

I did and I would not recommend it if you can avoid it, or at the very least I would speak with the BON in the state you are moving too. I had 2 years left on a 5 year contract with no stipulations other than random UAs (had worked off counceling and...

Not sure what state your in. Im in Northern KY and transferred a restricted license in December of last year. I have one month experience working as an RN before losing my job and being placed on probation. My new probation requires no access to narc...

Does anyone know if it is possible to volunteer in an RN capacity with an encumbered license?

I am walking into this 5 years out of nursing school with 1 month of nursing experience. I have heard about the difficulty so many have had finding a job with stips on their license so combining that with my lack of experience I am anticipating probl...

I was arrested on drug charges in 2010 and lost my nursing license. In 2013 I entered into a probation agreement to get it back and have been successful for the last 2 years. I have not resided in the state that held my nursing license since before e...

I know Ive seen some mentioned before...can anyone give me the names of any AA/NA meeting alternatives. Particularly ones that have been accepted by nursing boards in the past.

Those of you who transferred licenses to another state AFTER receiving criminal charges and/or disciplinary action by the board of nursing (that stayed on your license)- how long did it take to be approved or denied after submitting your application....
