Career after discipline

Published

This has been posted before, but I haven't seen anyone who successfully made it through. I want to hear from anyone who has gone on to becoming an NP after getting a public discipline. Can you get licensed to prescribe controlled substances? Can you get a job as an FNP with a history of addiction? How about PMHNP? My personal situation is that I have had my license restored with no restrictions in Illinois, however my discipline is public. I am not on the OIG list. Thanks in advance for your input!

I don’t know, but please share with us if you find out!!   Did you reach out to your state board to see what they have to say?

For sure I will. I did send them an email yesterday, but in the past when I have reached out I have never received a reply.

There is a post in the Recovery forum of someone who shared -  they made it through discipline, went on to NP and got prescription authority,  the thread title is obvious and easy to find something like “ NP after probation “. Gave me hope for future, GOOD LUCK

I think I wrote that post, too. ? I wasn't getting any replies in the beginning.
