I actually got my license in 2018 with a record. Before the new law. I sent them everything they asked for. And proof of rehabilitation. And letters. I sent them tons of certified court documents on my cases. I was given a license with no restrict...

How do you run a FBI background check on yourself? I did a livescan and everything showed up!! I have a license in CA and would like to relocate to FL, wondering about expunged charges

Everyone says Ca is hard but I got my license with expunge record, no probation. Now I am wanting to move to texas or florida, so knowing they are easier is a weight off my shoulders

I just got my first Midas against me or not putting a patient with a bacteria positive sputum culture on contact precautions. Honestly a heads up would have done. I thought it was a little extreme

I worked at kaweah for a year, switched to st agnes and immediately regretted it. I did not feel very supported at St. Agnes from my coworkers. I am not a travel nurse, so I am sure my situation is a bit diffferent but I just wanted to share. I loved...

Seems like Nor Cal is the cash cow!! I know cost of living is pretty high there, tho.

one year experience, just got hired here in the central valley, CA. 37.00 a hour , 7.00 night time differential. 12 hour shifts, time and a half over 8 hours.

So I took the nclex at 8 am. I was using U world for the past 3 weeks, took the self assessment on saturday and got a high chance of passing. When I started U world, I thought the questions were really hard!, but i got better at it. During the Ncl...

I did. Unrestricted.

brand new nurse here 3 months , still cant get over that feeling that some days I am not that good at this!! Some days I find myself still getting so overwhelmed. I also find myself so intimidated by certain tasks like IV starts or anything that req...

Oh I ask questions! I almost feel like I am always asking, I think that's why I get a little embarrassed, and I don't hesitate to ask if I feel like a patient's safety is at risk. I guess I just hate still being so unsure of things. I know I am not ...

I honestly think you have a chance. don't give up. I got my license against all odds. Get a lawyer if you have money, your BAC was so low, that will make a difference... my advice is to also attend aa meetings and get proof and also get letters. I wr...

I actually got the job. Ive been there about two months. So far its been good, I did about 8 weeks of orientation and I have gotten a lot of support from my coworkers

I was just going to comment that in the case of furtherance of justice, no you do not have to disclose. but It looks like you figured that out.

I worked with a different preceptor for two days and what a difference it made!!

So I took the first job I was offered at a hospital 45 minutes away from where I live. I have only been there 6 weeks and I am not out of orientation. I really want to give myself 6 months but honestly so far I am not sure if I like it. I am still re...

I am so sorry I just saw this, this was a older thread. So I submitted everything. I gave them letters of recommendation, I gave them proof of my rehabilitation, I also had my charges expunged. I also went to meetings and got signatures and sent in t...

I submitted all the paperwork to the board and just recently got my approval to test. Does this mean the board has approved my application with a criminal history. I'm in California. I also got a letter from the board stating I was found eligible to...

I know we are suppose to use gloves for everything. And I always put gloves on as soon as i go into the room , but I have seen many nurses not use gloves if they are just passing a oral med. Is this acceptable? In reality you are not touching the pa...

Omg this is me. 3 days in and I'm miserable. Not to mention I'm tired as hell from night shift. I was doing a patient admit and felt like I couldn't even talk. I'm a mess. My coworkers probably think I'm a idiot. I don't know why I feel so unc...

After I completed a 40 hour, week long orientation I did my first ever shift on the floor as a new nurse, not only first shift ever but first night shift. I was terrified for many reasons. First of all, I felt like a complete rookie, especially since...

Yes and they always have us put on gloves for patient contact. First nursing shift where I'm at...do I need gloves to pass this med? Preceptor said yes always put your gloves on. Although I've seen other pass oral meds with out. Guess I was just a ...

Well I guess I was misinformed or under the impression we put gloves on when entering the room. That's the impression I was getting from my preceptor.

get a life. You have some real serious issues. I'd suggest seeking some help for your male superiority complex before you become a nurse.

Thanks, for us our shifts are 6-6:30. I honestly felt like I was in slow mo. I even had a hard time talking!!
