I am in recovery however I was diverting from er for last six months. Now I am facing criminal charges and I am not sure if my life will ever come back.

I was told I can re-apply for my RN in five years however if I have a felony then can I still re-apply? please help.

I am so sorry that you are going through such a horrible experience. What made you decide to start diverting after 10 years? And how were you caught? I think those two questions will have a bearing on the consequences. I have worked with an RN who was very open over having had an addiction. She was diverting Demerol. She went through recovery, had random drug tests, and was given her license back after the suspension. She pulled her life together. You can do the same. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
