How long did it take before you heard anything from board. I was fired for diverting meds in Sept. I have entered monitoring on my own. I have recieved letters from attorney general and know they have investigated. Just looking for some others experiences with this.

Specializes in ED, Transplant.

I begun this journey 16 months ago, self enrolled, criminal charges dismissed in February. Just got notified recently that the AG filed a complaint with BON. I emailed the AG asking why now. I was told because I sought treatment quickly they didn’t need to do a Petition for Suspension, but then they wait for criminal charges to be finished and then they do a complaint with BON. So now I’m waiting to find out the date I have to appear.

Wow. Praying for the best outcome for you! I’m not sure what’s going to happen with my license yet. I will know Oct 8. I consulted a lawyer. He suggested I go to the settlement conference, see what they offer and if it’s suspension - to hire him and he can get me something better. I'm willing to just take anything but suspension- if it’s suspension I will def fight it since Ive been sober so long and doing good at holding down a job. I’ve worked this whole time- just not around narcotics.

Good luck to you as well! The AG told me she believes I should be put on probation until the end of my RMA. Really? A year and a half later and now you think I should be placed on probation?! I could understand if this was last year but now, I find it ridiculous!

Yeah I think that’s ridiculous too! Like me- I’ve been working as RN this whole 3 years. So anything they do not other than monitoring is just crazy. I pray I don’t get suspended after all this time.
