My friend just got out of monitoring early

Published

My friend just got released from monitoring early. Her consent order didn't allow for her to petition the BON early, but her consent order deferred her monitoring time to the monitoring program which is 5 years. 

She has a sick mother/chronically ill, 4 states away and went for a full SUD eval that required an overnight stay and the eval was 2 days total and cost her 3000 dollars. She met with a psychiatrist, had hair and urine testing, interviews, and a battery of written tests. She told them while she was there as it related to her mom's illness and she had exactly 6 months left in monitoring to reach the 5 year mark. Her monitoring program agreed to the recommendations of the SUD facility evaluators that she could be released early. It took the monitoring program 1 month to approve it and then the BON approved it 1.5 months later, so she basically got out 3.5 months shy of the 5 year mark. Is 3000 dollars worth 3.5 months of early release? Yes for some people and No for some.

No, I will not say which state because that could jeopardize future nurses with the BON in that state.
