I had disciplinary action (voluntary surrender after diversion with intent to commit suicide) against my license 20 plus years ago. I’m licensed now (for 6 years) through compact state and just entered FNP school. I’m getting worried that I won’t be able to get licensed as an NP or get through DEA requirements. Is anyone else in NP school with previous discipline?

I graduated NP school and have my FNP. I received a reprimand on my RN license in my last semester of school. It is considered complete, but still there - never goes away. I am still navigating this process of working as an NP. I took my boards and became certified right away June 2021. I worked as an RN still while waiting for everything to be complete, and applied in April 2022 for my NP and finally received my license Sep 2022 , though it was a stressful process, for me at least, as the discipline is still fresh and very discouraging. I am now navigating the NPI and DEA part of it. When I complete the DEA license, I can let you know what happens. I know this can all be extremely stressful and I feel like it isn't talked about enough.
