Help! Probation Information Needed


I WAS PLACED ON PROBATION FOR AN INCIDENT THAT OCCURED ALMOST THREE YEARS AGO. THE PROBATION BEGAN IN FEBRUARY OF 2005 AND WILL NOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL FEBRUARY OF 2006. HOW HARD IS IT TO FIND A NEW JOB IF THERE IS A PROBATION TAG ON YOUR LICENSE? IS IT THERE INDEFINATELY OR DOES IT GET REMOVED? I HAVE 2 MONTHS OF PROBATION LEFT AND AM SEEKING NEW EMPLOYMENT. THE SANCTION WAS PRACTICING BEYOND LICENSED NURSING SCOPE. I DIDN'T HAVE A LAWYER AND FOLLOWED THE ADVICE OF THE INVESTIGATOR. THIS WAS A TRUE LEARNING EXPERIENCE AND ENLIGHTENED ME ON TOTALLY COVERING MYSELF AND NOT DEPENDING ON OTHERS TO BE TRUTHFUL AND BACK ME UP. I HAVE BEEN A LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE FOR 8 YEARS AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN REGISTERED NURSING. I'M NOT GOING TO STOP THERE. I PLAN ON GOING EVEN FURTHER.

Default Re: Help! Probation Information Needed
I am somewhat confused here. You are on probation for stepping out of protocol/scope of practice years ago?

Now, you are charged again for a similar incident? You are facing probation again for practicing outside the scope of practice? I am referring to your post in the Legal forum:
