I would take this poll with a grain of salt. As most know, polling used for statistics is very innaccurate. Furthermore, more people who passed with 75 are gonna post then those that flunked at 75.

Something odd is going on. Bunch of people from my school who took the test back in mid June still haven't heard. They all were very bright and all shut off at 75. To see what was going on, I called the board and another student called our school. Turns out our school hasn't sent our transcripts yet! So the wait may be because of schools not sending em out. BTW 75 and out is usually good sign you either ACED it or did HORRIBLE but odds are you passed.

I have an RCP license in CA. I do not know what Florida asks for. The RC Board asked not only for "convictions" but ALSO arrests, so the RCP in CA actually asked more than the Nursing board (I am applying for nursing license right now). In fact there a couple of things I don't have to report to the nursing board I had to for the RC boards (pertaining to arrests even though I was not convicted or were in a court ordered diversion program). Guess what? I reported it and got my license and never looked back. Just be honest and report what you HAVE to report (i.e., make sure to read all questions pertaining to this carefully). However I am thinking you are selling yourself short. Again, what EXACTLY was the charge/conviction you have on your record. If you do not know go to the Court you appeared or your rap sheet from the DoJ and see what it says. Also talk to the Nursing Board and asked them your chances after telling them your story.

We have PA's and NP's, what's the difference between CRNA's and AA's? I'm gonna guess not much.

Disclaimer: This is not legal advice. You post is confusing. You say you have a misdemeanor on your record but weren't convicted. This can't be. If you aren't convicted , you dont have a conviction record, but there is record of an arrest. Two different things. Please clafify this. I went through this stress myself the last couple of weeks and gave up on it. I was freaking because I was arrested as a teenager (over 20 years ago), but was never convicted. The police made me go to counseling with my parents and I never was referred to juvenile court. End of story. The board person I talked to said I did not have to report this since it wasn't a court order diversion program so I rightfuly put NO on my application. She initially told me the same thing as you but once I explained it further, she changed her mind and said no. The boards basically decide what they want because none of them are lawyers and you get a different answer depending on the day you call. Each state boards have different questions to this infamous question on the application. In California they want to know if you were CONVICTED of a felony or misdemeanor AND also if placed in a a court order diversion program. This includes drunk driving of course. If you record has a misdeamenor on it then you do have a criminal record and must report it. If you have been arrested and NOT convicted or placed in a court diversion program you dont have to report. OF course the Calif Board doesn't bother to tell you if juvenile and adult diversion progams are the same thing (which they are not). You need to go the the state you are in and look carefully at what they are asking. It is simple. Do the following: 1) Read the question about this VERY carefully on the application. Does it say convictions? IF so what type and what clauses come with it like diversion programs. Some may say ARREST, and if that is the case you have to disclose ALOT more. 2) Quit stressing and just do a FBI of DOJ criminal background check on yourself and see what comes up. 3) Was this as a juvenile or adult. Most juvenile information won't show up on an FBI background check if older than 7 years unless a serious offense. 4) Again, talk to the boards and get a clear answer. First READ the question on the application carefully. If they say you must report it (again) then do so. The WORSE thing to do is to blatantly LIE on the application.

Question: Can 1mg (0.5ml) of Ativan be given IVP undiluted into a central line if flushed before and after as you normally do for any drugs through central line port? Nothing was going in to Central Line. I was with an ICU nurse this week ( I am a student) that did this and I asked her about it since most books say to give it diluted with equal amount of SW, D5W or NS. She says she does this with central lines but not IVs. I wouldn't give it myself paranoid of given administering a drug wrong, so she did it. Is this okay or not?
