hi! I am working as an RN here in California since 2018. my education was obtained from the Philippines from 2008-2013, so its safe to say that it was the traditional nursing program. I was also a nurse there and practiced for 2 years before deciding to come back here in the US. When I applied for NCLEX back in 2015, I was asked to submit the whole breakdown of my nursing program back home and all the other things- such as our OR and L&D and new born cases- as we assist with OR and deliver babies there. I have submitted the request to the school and was completed in 2016. and only to find out that I need to go back to school for Medsurg. I went back to school only for medsurg and was able to finish in 2017 and was able to sit in and passed my NCLEX in 2018.

so anywho, I have been doing traveling as local. and was doing this since 2022- on and off. as I am keeping my full-time job for benefits and health care insurance purposes. in total since 2022, I had work with 4 agencies. Namely, Cross country, ATC west, Medely and now with Maxim. few months ago, my lovely recruiter from cross country have reached out to me with an opening at LA county hospital which I told her that I am interested. Long story short, I got accepted. and that I needed to do my compliance requirements, which I did comply. then it came to my titers, vaccines and mask fit test. I asked wellnessmart to send me my recent maskfit to my email and they did. To which I have received 2 emails with the same attachment. at that time I did not pay attention and only saved the attachment. and I sent it to the compliance team at cross country. only to received a call that I will be reported to the boards for falsified mask fit test results- because they called wellnessmart and the date that was indicated with my mask fit test is different. I was asked why did this happened. I told them I don't know what they are talking about. So I reached out to wellnessmart and told them my situation. and when I returned to my email- I found out that there was a phishing email- almost the same as the real attachment. I tried to explained this to the compliance team at cross country- but they told me that I was lying and this will be reported to the boards.

I am scared to the bones. although I know that I have done nothing. but we all know, we cannot mess with the boards. I get so anxious everyday because of the thought that anytime, my license could be put in suspension to get investigated. I worked hard for my license and I cannot afford to lose it.

please let me know any idea of how the process will do and any advise. or just anything to calm my nerves down.

thank you!
