Disciplinary returning to school

Published

So I am currently doing a monitoring program with the board of nursing for NC. And I was wondering, are we allowed to return to school to further our education? I completed LPN school and I really want to go to get my RN to further my employment options but I wasn't sure if we are allowed. Any tips on making it thru the monitoring program, or any tips in general give them all to me! I am a recovering addict, so I always take all the constructive criticism I can get!

I am an LPN as well. I completed 3 years of monitoring in Arkansas and wanted to go back. I checked almost every school there with an LPN to RN program and the answer was no. When you're in monitor your license is considered encumbered. Once you're done it will be unencumbered and you can attend. Your license will always show disciplinary action but if you complete monitoring successfully it will be unencumbered. I am currently doing my RN prerequisites now that I'm done with monitoring to go back and get my RN. You can still work on RN prerequisites while in monitoring just can't start an actual RN program yet.
