License Surrendered ..

...Please Help...Any Ideas Welcome!!

I won't divulge details of location etc, but I had to surrender my license about a year ago, due to a loss of job, due to my problems with performing the job and an event where I blew up in anger and swore at a coworker (called her a *******) in front of another manager and a couple of patients.

I am having a heck of a time trying to get it back! I never knew it would be such an ordeal. The college wants a psychiatric/medical assessment done that will be a hefty price(that I have to pay), and it does not necessarily mean they will side in giving back my license...but then again they might....

I have not worked in nursing a lot, have graduated 20 years ago, not looking to work in a high stress area, have had a few years of medical issues that prevented me from pursuing a solid nursing career, but now in my life I feel that having my license would still be to my benefit, even if it means a less paying, less prestigious career that is not in a hospital (eg. clinics, family practice, dermatology offices, etc).

I am a great wife and mother..and I would like to be the best in a career that suits me as well..

Any thoughts??????

What are the odds that the college reinstates my license again? Have any of you any ideas on this?

YOur feedback greatly appreciated.
