We are short basically every day. I'm looking to get into a hospital at this point.

This sounds really dangerous. Yikes

License issued! Hopefully this thread helps someone in the future ?

Called the bon yesterday.was told that it takes 6-8 weeks and to call back on the 16th. Even though everything is complete...I explained I have a job lined up was told that they would expedite it of there are no issues. Will call on Monday and see what they say.

As of today my checklist states that the background check is complete. Everything is complete. So I guess more waiting now? ? I think I'll call tomorrow. If nothing early next week I'll drive up there.

Love this post. Same here.

Update, this may help someone: I went for my fingerprinting yesterday, it was the earliest appointment I could get. I checked the BON website this morning and now everything on the checklist says completed, except for the background check, of course. I am hoping that it won't take too long for them to receive those results. Any feedback on turnaround time for that would be appreciated!

Yes this is extremely helpful. I'm so glad you answered,thanks! I'm waiting on my fingerprinting form. It sounds like the process went relatively fast for you, hopefully it will be the same for me.

Did you get your license? If possible, could you share your timeframe? Thank you ?

It seems like she really just needs to start working. That's what I took from it.

Has anyone recently applied for license by endorsement? I submitted my application last week, I'm kind of confused about their fingerprinting process. Do I really have to wait for them to mail instructions for identogo? Also what is the typical timeframe for endorsement? I've seen on other treads some people were saying up to 4 months. I live in NJ now if that makes a difference...

Lol ... What.

Interesting. How did you get all of these amazing jobs as a new grad...

Yeah, this area is completely flooded. Dialysis is always hiring. I strongly suggest applying to the big 2 dialysis companies. They offer extensive training. Could be a good transition to a renal med surg unit. Or anything really. Hope everything worked out for the writer.

Sure, the conditions are set, if that's what you meant, but everyone is entitled to an opinion concerning the matter.

I agree with the OP. I think it's ridiculous. Another hoop to jump through. More $ generated. You won't find many agreeing with you on here about this. ??‍♀️

I recorded lectures. Would type up the notes and incorporate figures, important points from the book and slides. It worked for me. Graduated 4.0

If you're considering going back to outpatient, you'll be totally fine. You can likely make a nice penny with your experience, and you'll be thoroughly retrained. Let us know how you make out.

Hi everyone. I just had a few questions since I have never worked with an agency. I currently have a full-time staff position but I have also been looking to pick up per diem shifts. Last week I applied to a company on indeed (which simply consisted of me sending my resume) and then kind of forgot about it. Yesterday I got a call from an out of state number, the representative said that she was calling from said agency and gave me instructions to fill out paper work that was emailed. I got suspicious because she said they would need my social security number also on the paper work... I looked up the company and there is not much information on them and no reviews. They do have a few ads on indeed though. Is this typical of agencies? How does it usually work? Don't they interview applicants? I am a new RN (for context).

Agreed. Only in certain parts of the country.

I think they hold the power in deciding whether to move forward in the process. And they know it. Am I mistaken?

Smh. I guess absolute power corrupts absolutely.

No ma'am. I am not. Just being nosey. Was curious.

Are these all restricted under this program you finished and if so, why? I can understand the poppy seeds but the other things?? Congrats KJE

This was a great post, very spot on!
