Hi-its my first post so everyone b patient with me. in 1998 i recieved my lpn with honors. second career mind u. (taught elementary school for 7 yrs prior)
worked as a long term care nurse for 3 months before being promoted to charge nurse. loved my job, loved the families, loved the differance that i was making. until my husbanbecame addicted to pain killers. any pain killers would do. he was a garbage can addict in the best sense of the term. when he ran out of his sources, i provided him with what he needed from my job in 2001. once i was caught he left me, fired and facing humilation, i entered a really dark time. didnt go to the hearings. didnt defend my self. instead became exactly what he was, an addict. in 2003 i put myself in a hospital, got clean, figured crap out, and have not used since. how hard is it going to b for me to get my license back in connecticut. wll i have to go back to school. does a couple of mistakes determine what i cant do for the rest of my life? pls help! i miss making a differance, i miss feeling important to he people i help. some one must have an answer.
