Could anyone tell methier thoughts? I am in the middle of a bon investigation for giving an enema w/o dr orders to a pt that had not had a bm in 5 days. Looks like I may get my license suspended. does anyone know if I will ever be able to find a job when I get my license back and could I get into an RN program with this action on my license? Thanks:(

I'm sorry but allnurses.com is not a place for legal advice. As was mentioned in another thread, things like this are decided on a case by case basis. It's really not possible for anyone on this site to give you any information as we don't know all the facts. If you are in the states, talk with the college you intend to enroll in and it may needed to be decided by the state nursing board. Best of luck to you.

As mentioned in this thread and your other thread, each case is discussed on an individual case and hard for us to say either way. The BON makes their own decision

Questions we seem to be encountering more and more often have to do with the effects of a criminal history on nursing licensure:

Is it possible to become licensed as a nurse if you have a criminal history?

Is it possible to become licensed as a nurse if you have a MIP, DUI, or other related charges?

What happens if you are charged or convicted of a crime after licensure?

Can I go to nursing school and/or be licensed if my record has been sealed or expunged?

Will I be able to go to nursing school with a criminal record?

What can happen if I receive a MIP/DUI/DWI or other charge while still in school?

These are questions that the members of allnurses.com cannot answer. The only reliable source of information is your State Board of Nursing.
