Attaining and Protecting Professional Nursing License

Attaining and Protecting Professional Nursing License

Comments 0 Comment

I plan to become licensed by exam in Maine and it is a compact state. The process must be completed on-line. The whole process includes applying online, uploading a current picture, and upload a signature page that is manually signed. Then send in a supporting document with all “yes” responses to the questions in the disciplinary section of the application. Then pay the non-refundable fee of $75. The school must send a complete certification of school form online. A criminal…

I think while I was taking this ATI I was distracted and did not focus very much on taking the ATI. This time I tried to break it up into two sessions, but I learned that I should not do that. I think by doing that it made it more difficult for me to focus. I think from here on out I will take the ATI in one sitting with small breaks in between. Also, during this ATI I noticed…

The leader that I interviewed had a lot of experience and advice to give me moving forward into my nursing career. One thing that I learned from this interview is that being a leader doesn’t mean that you must have the formal title. She emphasized this in her interview and spoke that she was seen as a leader on her floor before receiving a formal title. When she received a formal leadership title, she talked about how she had to…

The subject I chose is someone that I have known for quite a few years and is from my personal life. The reason I chose this subject is because she currently works in the Dana Farber center in my hometown. She works with oncology patients, and this is the patient population that I want to work with when I graduate. This woman is currently the manager of her unit, so she is in a leadership role. I have also known…

This ATI was challenging for me, and my score was not the score I really wanted. There were some medications on this ATI that I did not recognize, so I just took a guess on those questions. I think what went for me was I was able to critically think my way through most questions. I applied the knowledge that I already had from pharmacology to be able to think my way through the questions. I was able to recognize…

While taking the Adaptive ATI there were questions that I felt really confident on and other questions that were a complete guess. I think what went well for me was the questions I felt confident on I did not second guess myself and was able to move on. I think because I did know quite a few questions I was able to complete the ATI within 75 questions. Looking back on the exam and remediating the topics there were some…

Throughout this video there were so many different stories from nurses about experiences that they have had that have left an impact on their lives. As a nursing student who will be entering the work force soon there are still skills that I haven’t mastered yet. I have lost family members and that takes a toll on a person, but I never experienced losing a patient. In the video some nurses explained how they have lost patients and the impact…

I am most excited about finally to be able to be an RN. I am excited to get my first job and finally be able to practice all the things that I have learned. I am a little nervous to be out in the real world and have my first job. I know that I will have a lot of help and support my family, friends, and coworkers. I think that I will celebrate by taking a mini vacation before…

Our team dissemination project was a podcast where we asked nurses on R2 about prolonged hospital stays. When we first asked the nurses on R2 if they would be willing to participate in our podcast, they were all very enthusiastic about. I think that they all enjoyed being able to speak about an issue that is very current and relevant to where they work. The goal of our podcast was to inform all floors at MMC or other hospitals about…

When it comes to disaster nursing a nurse must be prepared both professionally and personally, to take on any responsibility that they may face. A nurse can have many roles when it comes to a disaster and the role the nurse plays can change at any moment. Some of the few roles that a nurse can have during a disaster is being a leader, manager, or a team member. Another role of the nurse during a disaster is being able…
