1. IPN question (enter or not?)

   evandavid24 replied to evandavid24's topic in Recovery

   See, now I understand better your support of the program; in your case (as I've mentioned) the program was quite possibly a life saver. And the fact that you self reported is big. This is all being mandated for me, and it's hard to accept the stringe...

2. IPN question (enter or not?)

   I have already appealed the decision this month in Tampa; there are no options other than to find a lawyer to fight it or enter the program and get my license. I lean toward the latter. ...I'm not suggesting that my punishment is harsher than others'...

   evandavid24 replied to evandavid24's topic in Recovery

   That is absolutely draconian. How is it possible that groups of nursing have not gotten together to protest this nazi-like treatment? It is frightening the power and influence they (state boards of nursing and IPN) have over the autonomy of nurses. I...

7. IPN question (enter or not?)

   evandavid24 posted a topic in Recovery

   Hello, I am wondering if anyone has some insight or experience with an issue with which I am currently contending. The story in a nutshell: I have been an LPN and am currently licensed in the state of Florida to practice as such. In 2008 I was arrest...
