    VegGal replied to DeLynn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    VegGal replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not an expert on this, but I can only tell you what the Board told me about working as a CNA when I had an RN license. My story is a little different as I went to school out of state, got my RN...

  19. New Grad BSN, RN, PHN, EMT and can’t find work. Legality of working as a CNA?

    VegGal replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    It's actually even worse. It's not just that you can't work as a CNA because of not having a CNA license (which I actually do understand) but that you can't work as a CNA even if you have a CNA...

  23. Don’t know what to expect

    VegGal replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You stated that you self-reported 4 years ago, and a whole year later the DEA "tried" to arrest you? I don't know why they weren't able to arrest you, but your self reporting (although commendable) is...

  24. Non Narcotic Theft and Terminated

    VegGal replied to exelor's topic in General Nursing

    You're a NURSE. Why would you steal any meds? I don't understand. If you were desperate, why didn't you just talk to management before taking the meds? I think you're missing a huge point here and...
