Im in HPRP in Michigan. Can the BON still take away my license

[Jslimp22]

I currently had a substance abuse issue back in November of 2017. I went through all hoops, went to a recovery program, seeing therapist, NA groups excetera. I'm currently working with HPRP the nurse abuse program for Michigan and I was just let go at work today because it's per policy. They told me they still have to report this to the boards. Can and will the BON take my license away even though I'm working with HPRP? Please help! I'm really worried about this. HPRP told me I can start looking for jobs but I'm worried about the BON

yep get through this and don't look back.. don't get me wrong if you want to sue the idiots feel free but don't let it consume your life as son many in litigation do

So KNOWING I did NOT take those meds.. I was advised to say I did, that I have a problem, beg for mercy, CRY (I faked, I couldn't cry yet.. still in shock). The reason being FEAR of what they might find. In hindsight I don't think they would have found anything they could prove, I was very careful til the end.

So you were addicted to drugs and apparently diverting but you're mad that they picked up on the wrong thing? Did I read this right?

Reading this forum sometimes makes me feel like I am on Mars or something.

I agree with what you are saying. I am currentky dealing with being offered an HPRP aggreemebt and just hired a lawyer regarding this. It is a shame how something that occurred outside of work, outside of character and hprp see it feasable on top of probation with whatever city. It is a fixed & punitive & for money that peopr do not have.
