I need advice from someone in Arkansas that has been on probation and while on probation had a positive drug screen that I have the option to surrender or go before the board in which case they will probably put me on suspension. My question is what are the suspension stipulations and for how long would that probably last? I'm on my own I have no money for an attorney. But Im not going to surrender.

Surrender and move on.

As I recall you had this same piece of derisive "advice" to someone else dealing with this issue, on another thread.

I would like to mention a reminder that this specific forum is for support, education and information. If you can't provide any of that, please don't throw such flippant sounding remarks around. It is not helpful.

Maybe that is what is best for this person, maybe not. Until you have battled addiction or mental health and dealt with these diversion/peer assistance programs and all thier assorted dreck, you don't get an opinion. Please don't be an example of the ugly side of nursing.
