I joined this forum in 2008, I spent hours reading threads just hoping I would find one that would give me hope and encouragement that yes it is possible to be a nurse again. In 2002 I was arrested and sent to federal prison as a result of a life spun out of control from meth addiction. I surrendered my RN license and began the process of serving my time, getting sober and picking up the pieces of a way messed up life. I have never given up and I now have years of sobriety behind me. I was reinstated in 2013 in TX but now live in MS. 10/16/2015 I was granted an active RN license by endorsement to practice in MS. I finally get to practice again!!! I know my story may not be the norm but just wanted to post it is possible just for anyone needing encouragement. I am fortunate to have a group of great supporters and nurses in my community willing to help me find employment.
It is possible!
