Hello. I have been a RN for ten years. I started diverting narcotics from the ER last six months. My liscence revoked. I now have no job, facing criminal charges and I am so down I cry daily. Can anyone help if you had similar circumstances?

Gianna,

Despite the issues that I myself have been facing, my assessment of people in nursing is that they are very caring and understanding, and that they are willing to give a person a second chance if that person has truly addressed their problems and emerged from the experience a better human being. None of us are perfect, and all of us on some level are struggling. The downside is that God made us so that not only that we see others failings, they see our own. Well, its a good check. This experience will not kill you, for mercy is the way God expected us humans to interact with each other.
I hope that you are able to find faith that God will see you through this,
don't judge yourself, just make necessary corrections (it will be both hard and easy). I myself have found Eastern Orthodox Priest and Nuns the best listeners to my troubles, and the most consistent supporters of me, without letting me off the hook.
God Bless You, and Don't ever give up on yourself. Ever!!!!

I am in final stages of criminal charges(felony). I am an Lpn who was addicted for almost 8 yrs. I can re apply for license 6 months after I get off parole. I know exactly how you feel. You are not alone..If I can help please let me know.

I know exactly what you are going through It is a long lonely road no one should go down alone. It gets better the minute you decide to get better.

gianna,

I have have no personal experience with your situation. However, I have worked with others in a similar situation. Some have destroyed their nursing career but have recovered. Others have faced the music, went though the legal processes and through intense recovery programs. It is a struggle to recoup. But some can do. Pick yourself up by the boot straps, face the music and set a goal and strong determination for recovery. Others have done it and are now re-practicing as nurses. It is possible to get through this. I wish you all the support and prayers I can give you.

Do whatever program you need to do to say clean and work closely with your BON. Demonstrate your sincerity to them. The BON of your state can provide you the answers you seek.
