Yes, protect your license. Your worked very hard to get it. Find a new job. This employer is unsafe to work for.

I am looking for non traditional roles as a BSN prepared nurse and many years of experience. I'm interested in teaching (not necessarily nursing students). I interviewed for a Medical Assistant Instructor. My ego is getting in the way; If I teach MAs am I a still a nurse?

I just started the free course. It has the 2 hour general course rolled into the nurse course. So, it is only 3-4 hours, no where near the 7 hours needed. Which ceu course did you take? I found this one on a more recent allnurses post: https://www.zurinstitute.com/courses/child-abuse-psychotherapy/overview/ $79 https://www.quantumunitsed.com/online-ceu/child-abuse-reporting-law-california.php $35 There are also courses on Homestead schools that could be combined to make 7 hours. Maybe combine them with the free state program for cheaper. Here are the university courses for Public Health Nursing https://www.csudh.edu/son/programs/post-grad-public-health/ https://www.csun.edu/nursing/phn

Here is another one created by the state. FREE https://mandatedreporterca.azurewebsites.us/ When I first looked at this, the general course was only 3 hours. I went back and it is now 4 hours. If you take the general course and the medical course, you get 7 hours. California public health nurse certificate mandated reporter training ceu

https://www.quantumunitsed.com/online-ceus/child-welfare-ces/child-abuse-reporting-law-california.php The course was added in 2003. I don't know if it has been updated since then. However, I did search Quantum on the BRN website and they are still an approved CEU provider in CA until 2025. All the other CA mandated reporter classes that were posted on allnurses don't seem to exist anymore.

Hi milesel, I’m wondering if you found any clarity in your question? I have a BSN and am taking the Integrative Healing Arts Program offered by the AHNA. It is a great course and opens you up to so many modalities. This fall I will take the board certification exam. This is my first step to becoming an official Holistic Nurse. I too want to do more. I have looked at the program in Minnesota and also a couple of NP programs. I haven’t found anything that I love enough to take the leap of going back to school. I was interested in Naturopathic Medicine school, but I am glad I didn’t go that route. An ND just shared with me that school, at one of the private ND programs can leave you with about $250,000 in debt and the average ND make about $70,000 a year. He said he wished that he had gone the NP route and then supplemented learning the holistic therapies via CEUs. There is also a new cannabis Nurse association and learning program. They are working on an official certification program. Best of luck

Depending on where home is, see if you can get a travel job at home or near home. Then you could have a job right away, possible travel/ move expenses paid, more time to find a permanent position, or the travel job could turn into a permanent job.

If you are eligible to work as an ADN, do it. You will gain valuable experience and open the door for jobs in the future. If you are interested in travel, experience is experience. If you are wanting a "new grad" job/residency, you would still eligible. In my new grad program we had experienced nurses that were transition to a new specialty.
