Completed my 5 year contract successfully!

Nurses Recovery

Published

Specializes in ICU, psych, corrections.

I have not posted here in a LONG time (several years, I'm guessing) and I don't even know if there any familiar names on the board anymore but I wanted to put it out there to those just getting started that it CAN be done. I entered into my monitoring contract with the state of NV in July 2008, got my license back in March 2009 and as of May 21st, I am done with the board! I was granted full licensure back and no discipline will remain on my record. I am coming up on 6 years of sobriety on June 30th and was just offered a job as a nursing supervisor; I happily accepted. I learned so much being on contract and wouldn't have changed a thing. I am very grateful for the support and accountability the board provided for me and will always be thankful to them for giving me a better life than I could have imagined. Completion of a 5 year contract feels fabulous and I can't believe how fast it went after that first year or two.

It's terrifying in the beginning but in reality, I was terrified to get OFF contract as well. There was definite separation anxiety at the end. I look back and realize how fast 5 years really went....but at the start, 5 years sounded like an eternity. You will be fine.....
