I need some help. I have been a nurse for over 13 years in ICU. During, we had no policy or procedures to follow. I was reported to the boards for some stupid BS and set up by the management, nothing drug-related. I was in school for my NP which I completed and passed my boards in January. However, I never applied for my license because my RN license is still under investigation for those allegations from my previous employer. I am currently working and have been all this time as a nurse. My license is still active and doesn't have anything on it, only says formal complaint applied. I have been waiting for this to resolve before I apply for my NP license, but it has been too long. My question is should I apply for my NP license or wait until this resolves? It has been over 2 years that I have been waiting to be resolved. I do have a lawyer and I am taking it to the hearing. Is there anyone in a similar situation as me out there, please? I am devastated. Would anyone ever hire me as NP if I end up getting anything on my RN license such as probation? Please help. Thank you.
