need some support

I needed advice from all the nurses in recovery. I just graduated nursing school with honors as a single mom. I have a felony drug record from 12 years ago and I have been clean for over 11 years. The NV board is allowing me to take the NCLEX so I am very happy about that. But I still have to go before both the Disability Advisory Committee and the BON. I am willing to jump through whatever hoops I need to become a nurse. But I am still so scared that after all this hard work I will be turned down. I have recommendations from teachers at my school to the dean and president. Any advice is greatly appreciated! And yes, I was honest with everyone since the beginning. The school knew and so did the hospital where I did my clinicals. I was VP of the honor society, a mentor to incoming students and even tutored in my spare time. I don't want what I did when I was 21 to hold me back now.

As of Wednesday Sept. 23............. I AM OFFICIALLY AN RN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for everyone's support. It meant a lot to me:D Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! The board followed exactly what the DAC decided...no restrictions. After all this time I am truly a nurse:yeah:I feel like this huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have even found a job after moving to Las Vegas. I am working at a plasma center as a donor processor and in a month or so, I move up to Medical Supervisor (RN position) No nights, holiday pay, and I can spend each and every night with my son. God has truly looked out for us. My son had gotten me an Rn charm back when I graduated in May but I refused to wear it in case I jinxed myself. Now I can finally put it on. I love you guys!!!:redbeathe

Oh and just as a side note, I did not use an attorney. I couldn't afford one due to rent and groceries. But the Board still listened to me and read all of my recommendations. I truly believe God was my lawyer on this one. :redbeathe

Congratulations! That's wonderful and you already secured employment! I know several of the nurses in Nevada's monitoring program up in the north are unable to find a job due to being in the program....and I'm talking nurses who have 20+ years in ER, CIC, ICU, etc. It's been a struggle for them and one that I'm glad you won't have to experience. Great news!

Happy dance and tears of joy for you!

I am thrilled for you. :yeah: Good luck in your new job
