The board of nursing won’t advocate or negotiate with you. SO it’s never a good idea to give them anything to chew on. Not hiring an attorney could be the difference between doing 1-year probation or 5. There are attorneys that deal with only nurses, all day and that’s all they do. That is what you need in a situation like that.

Don’t tell them one more word. Don’t send them any more paperwork. Send it instead to an attorney or you’ll end up with a less than favorable decision. They’re a bunch of control freaks that ruin the lives on nurses every single day. I hate them all. They’re a bunch of people who are self-proclaimed the ones who determine the fate of so many…[Read more]

I’m sorry all this has happened to you. We are glad to see you found us. The first thing I will say is DO NOT TALK TO THE BOARD OF NURSING WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY. They are the nurse police and they love power. They don’t do not work for nurses, they work for the American people and they are there to nail you to the cross.

You have to make your…[Read more]

Hey,
We are very happy to have you join us. This is a common question and there isn’t just one answer. It depends on the nurse.

You need to check to see if you’re on their list.

Thank you, everyone, for your feedback. This is just scary because my license is my lifeline and I cant end up homeless with a family to support. If there are any negative repercussions against me I will hire an attorney and also sue the individual that started all this drama

The evidence must prove that you are guilty before the board can take legal action. At least that’s the way it was for me and they never had any evidence so they closed the case and that was the end of it. I did have a lot of restless nights before that. But there are some really nasty people in this world and some will do anything and say…[Read more]

If you find your niche then you’ll never work a day in your life. It’s a very exciting career and my daughter just decided she wants to become a nurse and I am thrilled because I know that no matter how bored she gets in one job she can move to another. You can do trauma nursing, ICU nursing and ER nursing to start. These specialties are very…[Read more]
