Alternative ideas for RN work with felony DUI conviction

[Diamond Nurse]

I have the Michigan restriction of 10 years no work in "long term care" which includes group homes, ECF atc... all thats left are hospitals and dr offices... none of which want to see a felony of any kind on your record. Any ideas on something related but yet different?

I have started looking at research nursing (limited opputunities) and am going to start manually visiting dr offices.

it bites, nurses if you have not got this far into your addiction I pray you dont have to go through this. I am on the brink of bankrupt/forclosure.

Hi Lady Ej.

Have you had to contact the michigan board of nursing? Do you know of any one who had to report to the board?

Hello to you,

Does the Michigan BON have an impaired professionals program? Our State does and the program assists you in getting documenation/monitoring together so that you eventually will be granted more priviledges in the future.

What about checking out agency nursing? They are the only people who have a need to know what your restrictions are, not the client.

Regardless of what you look at for opportunities, put in as many applications in every place you can think of. Remain up front and honest. If you continue to work at it something will evenually turn up. DON'T GIVE UP!
