“How do I get a compact license?” is one of Krucial’s most-asked questions. In light of travel nursing becoming more common in the medical field, we've compiled general guidelines for obtaining an NLC, compact license, or multi-state license. Learn more: http://ow.ly/iXI050Mpezo

From textbooks to clinical and simulation experiences, Lydia Trabel '25 is enthusiastic to translate her studies into patient-centered care in a future position. "The nursing program has taught me to always treat people respectfully without judgement, always see patients as people, understand that they deserve someone to help them and advocate for their needs, how to work with others, and how to be the best I can be for my patients."

Participants will gain the tools needed to successfully address disruptive behaviors and cultivate a healthy workforce. Get more info and register here: https://lnkd.in/ecQYqa7M

California NPs! We have another hurdle to face for potential Full Practice Authority (FPA). Did you know that some of California's most experienced and qualified nurse practitioners are not eligible to become 103 NPs because their national certifications have been "retired?" I am one of these NPs. The board certification I took, "Adult NP," doesn't exist anymore with AANP. I still have to maintain all of my current licensure, CEUs, board requirements, etc., but AANP retired this particular exam. So the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) has identified these kinds of board certifications as "legacy certifications" and, as such, they are not recognized as potential 103 NPs. These are some of the most experienced and qualified NPs, so this does not make sense! Even if this does not impact you directly, please visit the CANP action center for ways to contact your legislators and respectfully urge their support of SB 1451. It only takes a minute! #NPsLead #SupportSB1451 #CANP https://lnkd.in/g5gtKknd

I'm pleased to announce that my abstract, "Emergency Care in the Face of Violence: An EMT's Perspective," has been accepted to the 7th Edition of the Nursing World Conference in Boston, Massachusetts. Being able to present my findings in person provides a unique platform to share my research and learn from others. The conference, with its international attendees, serves as a crucible for diverse and evolving perspectives in the nursing and broader healthcare sector. As I set my sights on medical school, it's become increasingly clear that a comprehensive grasp of the nursing perspective is essential. Nurses play a pivotal role in patient care, often acting as the frontline interface with patients and managing complex clinical and emotional situations. Their work, demanding both in skill and resilience, often shapes the patient's experience in healthcare settings. Recognizing and valuing this perspective is not just an exercise in interdisciplinary respect but critical for anyone, including future physicians like myself, seeking a holistic approach to patient care. The insights I hope to gain from this conference will undoubtedly enrich my professional journey and approach to collaborative care in the future. #careerdevelopment #medicine #nursingworldconference #EmergencyMedicalTechnician #Nursing
