STARL

Where do begin? I have been an LPN for 1 year in 2 months and unfortunately during this period I have had 5! nursing jobs. yes 5. (1) I started off in a nursing home, just to find my niche I didn't like it but I needed a form of income and I need...

I agree. This thread has ran its course...Thanks for the many suggestions!

At this point, I wouldn't mind starving.

To be honest, I'm so so depressed about the whole situation. I can't believe that after 1 year of nursing I am at risk of losing my license and the possibility of facing criminal charges. I have literally ruined my life.

It's not easy just to quit my current home health job and drop out of school. what I have done is improved my nursing care with my current patient and signed up for my first counseling session.

If you must know, early 20's (yes), still living with parents (yes), new nurse (yes). Just trying to better my life and learn from this.

Just because I don't comment on every single post does not mean that I have not learned from this. And obviously, you are free to comment as you please. It's the redundancy that I feel is not needed. I get it. You think that I should not be a nurse! ...

Yes. They state that I have the right to be represented by an attorney. However, I search the TANNA website and there does not seem to be any for the state of Fl. Maybe I can try calling on monday.

That I am under investigation and has to submit a written response or schedule an interview.

I asked a simple question about how to go about getting a lawyer and you still continue on about how I am unfit for nursing or just how I am a bad person overall. If you couldn't offer a suggestion to my question, I don't understand why you commented...

Can I still continue to work as a nurse while under investigation?

Well... I finally got a letter from the BON, I have to respond in 20 days. should I contact a lawyer, I've never had to deal with the judicial system before so I'm not sure where to begin. It's just difficult to go through this while I have 3 more we...

Yes. More emotional than physical. I'll take your advice and seek counseling. I'm not sure how they will be able to help, but it's worth a try.

Guys! Don't you think that people have the ability to change? Goodness! one would think that I am the WORST nurse in the history of nursing by some of these comments. Anyways, I would like to thank those who offered constructive criticism. I know "Nu...

I already planned on leaving the job.

I am not saying what I have done was a mistake. I understand that what I did was wrong. This is why I created this thread hoping to get some advice to talk to someone about it because I was feeling so terrible. With that said, this was a wake up call...

I don't think you understood my comment. I know that fraud is WRONG. Did I know it was fraud at the time? not necessarily. I didn't think it was on the level that it was, such as involving insurance companies and everything else that goes into it. No...

So you're saying you never made mistakes at all as a nurse, hmm?

This will be the first time, I will be reported to the board. I am not aware that the BON know about the previous things I've done so, how will I not be able to sit for my RN license? I understand falsification is a crime and for 1 hour and 30 minute...

Sometimes, I think that this may not be the profession for me because I can't even get through my first year. I love caring for people and helping them get better. I guess I just didn't think nursing would be this strict about EVERYTHING! Literally h...

LPN-RN programs are only a year. I started this summer in May and I'll be done in May. I have one more semester.

I really want to be the best nurse that I can. I hated to admit it to myself, but I think that I am a bad nurse. I did not go into this profession to act like this and I do not know why. I want to get better, I feel like I can do better. I've done so...

I live in the U.S. I am doing an LPN-RN program
