Florida IPN

In need of advice Please.

I moved to Florida a few years ago, got a dui, finished LPN to RN program, applied for boards and received a letter stating that my application would need to be reviewed by the BON. The board approved me taking the nclexRN as long as I had an evaluation by an addictionologist and follow through with IPN if necessary. Of course I received a recommendation for IPN as does everyone. The list of treatment providers were all 6 to 7 hours away! I was told there were no providers in my area. Since all of this, I have moved back home to another state and recently applied for the nclexRN here in my home state. Does anyone have any insight on how they will proceed?

P. S Im not an alcoholic and have never had any issues with alcohol.

    I'm assuming your new state will require the same deal- evaluation and a program of some kind. Does your new state have an alternative to disipline program as well? This is key because states like mine do not, the mark on license is permanent. Did you sign an IPN contract while in Florida? Either way your new state will question your decision to leave/not accept the program in Florida- be prepared to answer those questions. If you do not have an attorney it would be wise to get one now.

    The new state does have some kind of a monitoring program. No, I did not sign an IPN contract. They have not sent it yet.

    Have you called the program in your current state to ask these questions? Or the BON? They'd know best, although I'm sure that someone here has done this before. Hang tight!

    I did speak with their monitoring program. She told me that my application would have to be reviewed first. This is scary. I don't have a problem with doing the monitoring program as long as I can be an RN.
