jumping through hoops?

When I applied for a nursing license a couple of years ago...I just had to fill out a form, and pay them.

When I applied for a nursing license this week...I had to fill out a form, and pay them (more money than last time...inflation, I guess), get fingerprinted (going to prison for ANY situation is not fun), AND acquire 7 hours of continuing education regarding pain management.

Portland is making my life difficult...and I might be going back to a career as a nurse.

I don't know what's happening either...

You know how I feel about this. That's all I'll say.

Don't you just wish that every state was the same when it comes to certification? I've had to deal with so much random crap getting teacher-certified in Missouri, California, and Oklahoma!

But that's cool you're going back into nursing... what brought this on? :)

Julie- nursing in Portland...silly! I don't quite no where or what capacity...I've just been applying for jobs anywhere I see them.

Lincoln - I know

Sarah - I hate that it's different in every state! I forgot that teachers also had to deal with the pain! Basically I need a job to pay rent...and my education background isn't cutting it for the jobs I want...so I'm just opening up my options a bit with nursing.
