Completed my 5 year contract successfully!

I have not posted here in a LONG time (several years, I'm guessing) and I don't even know if there any familiar names on the board anymore but I wanted to put it out there to those just getting started that it CAN be done. I entered into my monitoring contract with the state of NV in July 2008, got my license back in March 2009 and as of May 21st, I am done with the board! I was granted full licensure back and no discipline will remain on my record. I am coming up on 6 years of sobriety on June 30th and was just offered a job as a nursing supervisor; I happily accepted. I learned so much being on contract and wouldn't have changed a thing. I am very grateful for the support and accountability the board provided for me and will always be thankful to them for giving me a better life than I could have imagined. Completion of a 5 year contract feels fabulous and I can't believe how fast it went after that first year or two.

    It's terrifying in the beginning but in reality, I was terrified to get OFF contract as well. There was definite separation anxiety at the end. I look back and realize how fast 5 years really went....but at the start, 5 years sounded like an eternity. You will be fine.....

    Hi there! Your post is so encouraging and give me hope. But my story is a little different. I had a DUI prior to becoming an RN, so when I finally got to take the NCLEX, I was automatically put on probation. I violated my terms 2 years into my program (which was 2 weeks) and had alcohol. I am terrified because I am almost positive they will take my license. I don't know if I should surrender or have it revoked? I want to be Nurse and will go through the program again if they let m. I just don't know which is a better choice??? Is there a longer waiting period to re-apply if you surrender? Or when it's revoked?? Pls help! Thanks
