I'd recommend contacting CT State Education Department (it might be called something similar) to see if they have information about obtaing transcripts from your school. Or do a Google search on how to obtain a transcript from your school or a closed...

I'd recommend submitting it now.

I'm not sure I'm following your first paragraph. Have you contacted your school to have them send your official transcript to the BON? Or are you unsure if your school actually sent transcripts to the BON? If unsure, give your school registrar's offi...

My first thought was that a medication aide was asking this question.

Sent a PM to you!

I'm curious if or how the seven IV insertion attempts were documented on the patient's record.

I work from home and have a telehealth position, so I have to be able to service all 50 states. Right now I have a compact license and 17 individual licenses from the noncompact states.

So true.. It does get very expensive. I have a MI license. The obstacle is that I'm required to have a compact license for my job and would lose compact privileges if I moved to MI. I feel so foolish for not taking into consideration this bill might ...

This is such a letdown. My work requires that I have a compact license, and I had been planning to move to Michigan once the bill was enacted.

I've been waiting 3 1/2 months for CA BON to send verifications to two other states. Talk about frustrating.

I would recommend requesting the California license to be your initial license when you request authorization to take the NCLEX. If you request WA first, and then apply for endorsement into CA, it will add at least a month (but probably months) to g...

Keep your picture off your resume. However, if you create a LinkedIn profile, you can add a professional looking photo of yourself on that.

Toward the end of your program, your nursing school should provide a NCLEX application form to fill in where you can select the state where you would like your initial licensure from. You can select any state. When you receive your authorization to ...

Biggest frustration: Keeping the calls within the allotted time frame. Some callers want to give you their life story, and it is usually not necessary to have that much info to make a recommendation. A really great day is when all calls are withi...

Very nice, Cecilia!

Yes, I worked from home for multiple years. We didn't have loads of charting, thank goodness, but there were alot of different processes to follow and EMR systems to navigate depending on the reason for the call and the location in the U.S. the call ...

Yes, definitely put in on your resume. It's valid, recent experience. You won't need to indicate that the job is per diem on your resume. However, you will need to list this job on your application, and you might have to list your per diem status the...

Consider recording your lectures if you're allowed and use the recordings to fill in your notes.

What are some of the reasons the callers complain about?

I was in an LPN-to-RN program, and the theory classes were intense and required a huge amount of studying. The clinical portion was the part that less stressful.

If you still have your Nursing Skills textbook, review the processes, including the videos on the textbook's website, for all of the tasks you've mentioned. You can also review YouTube videos. If you still have your med-surg textbook, thoroughly rev...

How did the other half of the class manage to remain enrolled? Just curious but were you originally threatened with clinical failure for not doing the quizzes? Did you have the other students' and your paperwork showing completion of the quizzes (tha...

Toward the end of your program, your nursing school should provide a NCLEX application form to fill in where you can select the state where you would like your initial licensure from. You can select any state. When you receive your authorization to s...

If you fail out of one program, you may not be eligible to continue to participate in the other program. Many nursing schools will not accept applicants that failed out of another program. I would recommend going the ASN route to save money, then br...
