4. Voluntary surrender of license good or bad idea?

   Nurse8204 replied to SavedNurse's topic in Recovery

8. Random drug screens for Ohio monitoring program through BON

   Nurse8204 replied to Love my kids 3's topic in Recovery

   I completely understand the frustration. In my state, we didnt have an alternative to discipline when I started over 7 years ago...but they did tell us that if you self report they will be more lenient. So I self reported in 2011 for being addicted ...
