Looking for advice

I have been an RN for 18 in 2012 my license was suspended for narcotic diversion. I have taken the appropriate steps and in May of this year my license was placed in a probationary status w no restrictions. I still cannot find work. Should I just sweat it out for the remainder of probation (which ends May 2015)? Will it be easier to find employment after my license is fully reinstated?

    I would just apply, apply, apply, as it may not be until May 2015 that you get something! It's a tight market, probation or not, so I don't think it would behoove you to just wait it out. Try applying to positions where narcs aren't readily available, like PDN, as it may be easier to acquire a position in that kind of an environment versus a hospital, and build your reputation back up. Even doing stuff like flu shot clinics helps get you back in the working world and beefs up your resume, showing active employment and continuity. Good luck!

    Thank you for your reply. I will take your advice. It just gets frustrating. But if you don't apply for anything , nothing will happen:)

    You just have to find the right interviewer who will be sympathetic about your situation
