Well it is that time of year again, when Nursing students get their degree , Applied Science in Nursing, some will go on , and get more initials , not “higher up ” in nursing, sometimes it equates with lowering themselves. BSN, hospitals are requiring in some areas, get you really in debt and they got ya. I hope others who have been victims of the corrupt AZBON will give a few words of wisdom to the new grads. No money in the card, just , some sound advise for anyone thinking about buying a license in az . Here is my advise to the new grads.
Congratulations . It is not easy and is something you will guard is your nursing license. A huge number of nurses worked for many years then became targets of the corrupt board of nursing . The very best Grad gift , I can give you is to tell you to not get a license in AZ , and if you do not listen, 1) buy license protection immediately lots of it dont let it lapse 2)read up on what the AZBON is doing and how you can make changes in laws to benefit you on this site . (lots of reading) 3)azna is not for nurses better to start your own real association for nurses . This is the truth, and again best graduation present you ever got ! <1% of nurses know how the bon operates , listen to those who know. Not your instructors who are being licensed by the board, so they can avoid bedside and first hand knowledge 4) NP is flooded and they get BD sanctions too, 5) If you do ignore what we learned first hand, and decide to do it anyways , because you are careful, your mother was a nurse and she didn’t have problem, the BD told you we are rebels, you have to find out for yourself. Please work on a second career, do not allow yourself to be set up to lose it all and cause yourself to have a lifetime of lies by the board of defaming character . This is the best graduation present anyone can give you , don’t take it lightly . Read the site ARIZONA STATE BOARD OF NURSING WATCHDOGS !
