Adult Maltreatment Registry

Nurses Recovery

Published

Hi everyone! I just finished 3 years of monitoring in Arkansas and am so proud! I am an LPN that wants to apply at other places now that my license is unencumbered. I'm a little nervous about the background check. I can pass a criminal background check but 8 years ago my name was placed on the adult maltreatment registry while I was working in LTC. I came into work impaired and failed to administer meds. I know there is no way to get off this list and I've taken responsibility for this. My question is where does this exclude me from working? I work in an outpatient setting but im wondering does this exclude me from working in hospitals or going back to get my RN? Thank you!
