   SNRN2BE replied to theoneandonly's topic in COVID

   ttps://ojin.nursingworld Florence Nightingale once described a time in her nursing career and related it to military life. As a former Sailor of 10 years (active duty), in many ways nursing is so much more challenging and sacrificial than serving in ...

2. Lpn & asn are are being phased out.

   SNRN2BE replied to shermainenevels's topic in ADN/BSN

   Sounds like semantics here. I think to say that saying "most hospitals is irresponsible and incorrect" is somewhat of a harsh statement. I am certain there are magnet status hospitals who have many seasoned experienced nurses with ADNs or LPNs. While...

3. "Cell phone" vibration in your thigh?

   SNRN2BE replied to srercg's topic in Lounge

   I'm not all too educated in the human body, probably not as much as I should be. But I find it interesting that you say that the muscle doesn't twitch and that there's no pain or sciatica involved. It's my understanding that muscle spasms or twitches...

   SNRN2BE replied to SNRN2BE's topic in Recovery

   I called HR and they said they would definitely be getting a copy of the DD214. I also called the National Archives and they said they'd release that and anything else requested by a potential employer if I gave a blanket authorization for employment...

   SNRN2BE replied to SNRN2BE's topic in Recovery

   Thank you for your response, I appreciate your taking the time to read and respond. Honestly, it means a lot coming from someone who has experience and knowledge. I realize, knowledge is power. I wish I'd have put more weight into my past before tryi...

   SNRN2BE replied to SNRN2BE's topic in Recovery

   In response to the above post, I've submitted my fingerprints for the BON's FBI CBC. Based on the application for licensure in my state, I was not dishonest as it asked specifically if I had any convictions, which I do not. According to an attorney w...

   SNRN2BE replied to SNRN2BE's topic in Recovery

   Thank you for your response and I will try to clear up any confusion I may have caused iwth my post. Some of what you wrote seems contradictory and confusing. Like this part: "I'm afraid of being accused and found guilty again for a crime, I didn't ...

   SNRN2BE replied to SNRN2BE's topic in Recovery

   My discharge was characterized as "General, Under Honorable Conditions" reason for discharge "Misconduct, Drug Abuse." This allowed me to use my Montgomery GI Bill, thus my ability to go to school. I am clean now and was then as well. If I had provid...

    SNRN2BE replied to Tinkers33's topic in LPN/LVN

    Three days of orientation after graduation almost seems like the workplace is failing nurse and the patients the new grad would be caring for. All of the facilities my classmates are working for will receive between two and six weeks to acclimate to ...

    SNRN2BE replied to Tinkers33's topic in LPN/LVN

    If places don't hire new RN grads without experience, how is a new RN grad supposed to gain experience? They/we have to start somewhere, don't we? That appears to be an odd statement to me. And I think the OP said they recently passed the NCLEX - PN,...

    SNRN2BE replied to SNRN2BE's topic in Recovery

    So are you offering any advice on how to proceed? Would you consider hiring someone in my circumstances?

13. 11 years ago, positive UDS, can I get a job?!

    SNRN2BE replied to SNRN2BE's topic in Recovery

    I should have been more clear, my apologies. I've been offered employment as an RN, where I did the bulk of my clinicals while in my RN program. The hospital's HR has asked me to complete an online questionnaire with a company that's been contracted ...

    SNRN2BE posted a topic in Recovery

    Next month I graduate and will be sitting for the NCLEX-RN the following month. I'm not all too concerned about the BON allowing me to take the NCLEX and get my license but instead am worried about an employer taking a chance on me. Have a job lin...
