I know it's crazy, but...I am so happy to get started!

Nurses Recovery

Published

Specializes in Med/Surg, Women's Health, LTC.

I have been working my behind off for YEARS now, getting my previously revoked license active in a new state!

I am so thrilled. Today, I logged onto the BON website and checked, and YES! My license is finally active.

Yes, I have 3 years through TPAPN, but, I am more than willing to get it going and see it through. Been sober 15 years and today is a great day! Sent in a couple apps, and have an interview on Friday already. My fingers, legs, arms, toes are all crossed, hoping for a good outcome.

I can do this and you can too! Hang in there my fellow nurses!

Thats amazing! You are a miracle. You have 15 years sober and you didn't give up! If you need help talking about being in recovery to employers I'm happy to talk.

Thank you! I may just do that! I will PM you.

I've never been afraid of talking about it to people, I am just unsure the best way to go about it in a nursing job interview.

I did get the offer but eventually went with another offer. I’ve been working back as a nurse since May 2020. I have just over 13 months left of my 3 year contract.  In all honesty, it hasn’t been bad. I get tested 2 times per month, randomly.

I've taken one vacation without issue and have been 100% compliant with all stips.

I do plan on asking for an early release. I doubt it’ll work but can’t hurt to try!
