Illinois nurses please help!

Published

Um hi! I need some serious help from some nurses. I was charged with stealing narcotics from work.Long story. My license has never been suspended and even renewed. Did I slip through the crack? This charge is a class 4 felony. I know so far I will have 2 years probation. They changed the charge to possession of a narcotic and its not a felony(pretty sure). Is anyone going to hire me? Do I just be honest and explain the whole story? I was diagnosed recently as manic depressive and was manic when it happened. I did a lot of other stupid things while manic, but didn't know how terribly sick I was. Im now on meds and seeing psych. I love being a nurse, but I was very sick and made some horrible decisions and understand now. Please help!

I would suggest a lawyer for yourself that specializes in nursing licensing.

I hope you don't believe that you are going to get around any consequences from this situation.

It will be found out.

Glad to hear you are getting help for yourself.

Consult a lawyer please.
