California diversion

[Erin1984]

Anyone else about to finish California's diversion program and they sprung on you the requirement of passing narcotics before you can finish? My program is being extended and I have to find a new job because of the corrupt California BRN. Just trying to find other nurses in the program being affected by this. I heard there is a class action lawsuit being started but I can't find information on it.

Yes, this has been increasingly mentioned in public comments at BRN meetings. 

The archived meetings can be accessed at https://www.RN.ca.gov/consumers/webcasts.shtml.

I highly suggest you watch the BRN meeting on February 28. 

This issue will tentatively be an agenda item discussed at the May BRN meeting. 

The public is allowed to attend all open sessions of BRN meetings. 

Please share this in your BRN Nursing Support groups and encourage every diversion nurse and support group moderator you know to attend future meetings.
