(I apologize, I have no idea what section this goes into) Hello everyone, I’m here with a very heavy heart because I worked so hard for my nursing license and now it is in jeopardy. I was in a very abusive relationship for 1.5 years. He had angry issues, jealousy issues. He has nothing going for him so he was always envious of my success and has stated to me in the past that if I ever pissed him off he’ll get my license taken away (by getting me arrested). We’ve been on and off since we broke up at the end of january. Saturday night I got off work and went to his house, nothing unusual there. We use to live together and I still spent nights over there. Well, he had a girl over. We had words then had a bit of a scuffle. He called 911 and basically started telling them all kind of ***. That I busted into his house, started beating him for no reason. He wouldn’t let me leave cuz he wanted me arrested so he tried blocking my car so to get away I had to drive over his lawn which damaged some plants and flowers. Fast forward later that night. Cops show up and arrest me at home. I’m charged with Domestic abuse battery (felony) Home invasion (felony) Criminal damage to property (not sure what this one is) I bailed out eventually. Now it’s time for me to self-report my arrest. My questions Will my license be suspended right away even tho I haven’t been convicted, only charged? Or will they wait a little longer to “see what happens” I guess? Do I get a hearing with my board of nursing? (I live in Louisiana). I don’t want to be pathetic and pull the victim card but I have proof that I was in this abusive relationship. I have pictures of things he has destroyed in anger and stuff like that. I AM a victim of domestic abuse, will they even care? Or is just the fact I was arrested and charged with felonies enough to take action without even hearing “my side”? My lawyer says home invasion will be dropped for sure. The domestic abuse will probably be reduced to something else. The property damage, idk (it was fricken flowers) Be honest, don’t sugar coat anything. Will I be unable to work immediately after I self-report this? This is the big question. I can’t pay legal fees without a job after all

In my experience I've never had an employer call me back just to tell me I didn't get the job. I did however once get a "thank you for applying but you were not selected" email. Unless this is your super dream job you shouldn't stress over it. Apply for more jobs. Don't put all your hope into one interview. On the flip side: When I was job seeking as a new grad I had an employer call me back an entire month after the interview asking if I was still interested and basically giving me a job offer. I guess the old "we have a lot of interviews" really did apply there

Yes, I am diagnosed type 2 bipolar disorder. It's mostly managed except for the depression lately. I'm afraid of a breakdown because it usually ends with ppl thinking I'm crazy. I quit my old job at Walmart because of an incident. Funny thing, when I was getting my physical done the employee health nurse took one look at my list of current meds and flat out asked if I was bipolar without looking at my history. Is it okay if I PM you? I've never talked to another BP nurse Again, thank you everyone! :) P.S. I passed NCLEX

I am thinking about going back into therapy. Only problem is my insurance doesnt cover mental health, yay Thank you. I'm hoping it is just stress since I'm in a transition period of my life

So I just accepted a job offer. Nice pay, nice hospital, step-down ICU, staff seems super friendly and helpful based on my tour and shadow shift. Great stuff, right? Except....I'm not happy. I feel no excitement about starting my new career. It's not the job making me unhappy, obviously, I don't start till the 26th. I've suffered with depression since adolescence. I frequently cry for no reason. I just really don't wanna come off as a crazy person in front of a patient or coworker if I have a manic-depressive episode (my worst fear) but at this point I feel myself spiraling downward. TL;DR: New nurse, afraid depression will effect quality of work, downward spiraling, anyone ever have a similar experience? Sorry if this is too personal

So I was cruising job listings out of boredom (I'm still a student, May 2017) and came across this while reading a job description: Must have previous experience since this is a prn position Part time jobs simply said experience highly preferred. I just find it weird Are PRN jobs harder to get??

hey there! I'm a senior nursing student and I guess I got lucky when I landed a NICU nurse tech job at the end of my junior year. I don't get much hands on patient care related experience except for feeding/changing diapers/giving baths/taking temps but I do get to watch the nurses perform skills. At this point I'm just trying my hardest to make a great reputation for myself so hopefully my unit will hire me as an RN like they did the two techs before me :) My advice for you as a fellow student, even if it isn't NICU you should still look for a tech job (not CNA) before you graduate. Hospitals near you should begin hiring soon to replace their graduating techs. Once you graduate, an internal hire would be much easier than applying from the outside along with 100 other applicants. At least this is what the RNs at my job always say and I do trust them

thank you, everyone! I ended up checking that box for nights. I hope I won't regret it :)

Hey everyone. so next semester is my last semester and today we got paperwork about our preferences for precepting. one of the boxes asked if we would be interested in 7p-7a shifts I've always felt like night shift would mesh better with my life but I'm more concerned about my learning. will I have an opportunity to do the same amount of skills as a student doing day shift? I know nurses tend to say patients never sleep through the night anyways so the unit won't be quiet but idk basically, my school says that we may get assigned night shift due to availability even if we don't want them but in my case I'm thinking of volunteering for it my question: does precepting 7p-7a shifts put students at a disadvantage?

I don't know if it's against the rules or something to do so. like a conflict of interest situation

no answers, guys?

sorry, I didn't know what section to put this. I've only ever posted one other time on this site So basically, I've been applying around for nurse tech jobs since I'm close to graduating. I had an interview at one and accepted their offer. a few days later I got a call from HR at another hospital (one of my instructors recommended me to them when I did clinicals there so I know it's a guarantee hire). I happened to miss the call but left a voice mail asking me to call tomorrow Job 1: it's an OB tech job. I'm really interested in that area Job 2: it's a children's hospital, idk what floor both jobs do interest me (I like OB/Peds and want to avoid med-surg like the plague) sooooo......could I work at 2 different hospitals at the same time? I searched for past threads on this but they were mostly RNs asking the question. I'm just a nursing student about to become a tech so idk if that makes a difference TL/DR: Can a nurse tech work at two different hospitals at the same time?

Hello, I am in my 3rd semester of clinicals and I am now on a telemetry floor. The patients are way sicker than what I am used to and codes are called frequently. In the 5 weeks since clinical began, we have already had 3 student assigned patients die either the night before or day of care. I've always been emotional and I have very leaky eyes. However, while I'm fighting back tears, I notice no one else in my group seems as saddened. Well I won't assume they don't care, they are just much more professional and have better control over their emotions than me and now I'm getting worried about my future. Sometimes when I am in a patients room and I see them clearly in pain or struggling to move, I start feeling the stinging in my eyes and i have to raise my head to stop it. It's like a handicap now. What can I do? I can't talk to my professors becuase I'm afraid they'll think I'm mentally incapable of continuing the program. Is it possible I AM mentally/emotionally incapable of being a nurse? Please help
