NP school while on probation

You probably won't v able to be able to. Almost all states don't allow higher education because they require clinical hours 

Probation or suspension?  You can work on probation or with a stayed suspension.  You just can't work or hold yourself out as a nurse during an actual full suspension.  And where do you want to work?  Also in California or somewhere else?

Hi Eric or anyone who is familiar with this process  in california 
I am going through a similar situation like you. I had been on probation for a year and two months and had a positive peth test for alcohol, I just have a few questions so I know what to expect.

1: how low did it take for you to hear back from AG after the cease to practice

2: did you have to go to court for a settlement for the 2 year probation extension?

3: did you have an attorney? 
4: how long did the whole process take for you to get back to work

5:any job recommendations for non nursing jobs while I wait is appreciated 

thank you in advance

False. Being on probation does NOT prelude you from being able to do clinical hours. Here's the issue. You need to treat this like getting a job in nursing while in recovery. You need to go through the top, or the backdoor First. Instead of looking for jobs by first applying and going through Human Resources (who will throw your application away and it never reaches the nurse manager) you want to do the SAME with your NP application. You need to contact the program director of schools you are interested in BEFORE simply putting in an application through admissions. Admissions will likely have a young 20 year secretary who goes by a checklist that says "toss any application for a nurse on probation or in a monitoring program," and the program director never sees it. Contact program directors FIRST. Call them Talk to Them. The overwhelming majority of schools will have something on their NP/School of Nursing website that says nurses can't be on restriction or probation when they apply. Most nurses Believe it 100 percent and take it as Gospel and never apply. That rule is NOT a hard and fast rule for many schools and you can get around it SOMETIMES by contacting the program director before going through admissions. Do NOT let the School of Nursing Website statement that says nurses who have encumbered licenses can not apply discourage or prevent you from reqching out. Contact the program director first. 

 pacific college...MSN/ FNP. They have an online program. There is no harm in trying

My state BON does not allow higher education while on probation. It is apart of the stipulations set forth by them. There's no getting around it here because you sign the contract stating you will not enroll in higher education programs-nothing to do with the actual school in my state.

Yep, if yoir BON and consent order has a stipulation, there is no getting around that. Most states, the majority of state BONs don't go that far. A few do.
