Need Advice On Texas App. for Licensure & History of Addiction

Published

Specializes in Psych/Procedural.

I am a registered nurse living in the state of Oklahoma. I graduated from the Peer Assistance Program over a year ago. I am applying for a Texas RN license for a future job. I have multiple criminal charges from when I was 19 years old, but I also answered "yes" to the question regarding being treated for addiction within the last 5 years. Can anyone provide me some insight as to what it might look like now that I've answered yes to that question? I'm less concerned about the criminal charges as I went through the process of gathering all the court documents when I was initially licensed in Oklahoma. I'm more concerned about the fact that I answered yes to their addiction treatment question. Any insight?

Hi I have some question about Peer.

Can anyone here give any insight into the peer program in Oklahoma? I heard it was easier to complete than other states?
