    Nurse8204 replied to Nurse8204's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I check my license online about 70 times per day, waiting for it to change from "probation" to "active!" It feels like this is taking FOREVER!! Why does this state board have to be so dang secretive...

    Nurse8204 replied to WarEgle87's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Guess it depends on the facility. The PRN's I use are basically used as a fill in for the shifts throughout the month that the full time nurses requested off. Some weeks they may have full time hours...

    Nurse8204 replied to Nurse8204's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We don't have any option like that in Arkansas. We get whatever the BON tells us to do. Or we can fight it, which from what I've seen, will get you no where or with more than they would have given to...

    Nurse8204 replied to troubledrn12's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I Agree 100% if they are going to report you, they already have and its too late to self report anyway. When the BON contacts you about it, retain the attorney and get all the proof you can about...

    Nurse8204 replied to Nurse8204's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We don't get the option of entering a program without our license being flagged. I have seen some posts about other states letting you enter programs without it showing on your license. Is that true?...
