Just a small venting session

Nurses Recovery

:arghh: Hi everyone, just a small venting session!

I have now been waiting 192 days to hear from the AZ BON about the re-issuance of my RN license.

It seems foolish to be hoping for the contract, the pee tests, the meetings, etc...but, I really want to get back into nursing and in order to do that, I have to start the dang thing!

I read the forum and I hear the frustration and I worry about what my life will look like once the monitoring starts, but, I just want to get it started.

I hope that I can remain as strong as all of you, once it does start. Believe me when I say I will likely be here more, looking for support!

According to their website (their written & published rules/guidelines) they only have 270 days to tell me yes or no. That is still 78 days away.

I was foolish enough to think I would hear sooner.

Enough of my pity party! Thank you to everyone here! I hope your day goes well! :geek:

Thanks for your kind words Still. If I need something from them I call multiple times a day. No pretense of giving two doo-doos about my case manager or polite conversation. It was the same for my return to work letter, dropping down in nurse support meetings & whatever else I needed from these caring professionals. It will be the same for anything else I need in the future. This is not a therapeutic relationship but an adversarial one. I treat it as such. They can slap the poop out of me (and they have) but I'll never pretend to respect them for it

Specializes in ER, ICU/CCU, Open Heart OR Recovery, Etc.

Yes. This was how i handled things too. Since I knew they are a state agency, bureaucracy rules and if I want to make sure things are taken care of properly I must be the one to do it. No waiting around and hoping they would do their job and be prompt.

Awesome on your ok to get back to ER! Woot!
