Obtaining DEA licensing

[PavementRN]

Has anyone tried to obtain their DEA license as an APRN after having prior issues with diversion of narcotics while a beside RN? I am 3 years into my contract with my state monitoring program and will be graduating from an APRN program in May. I have no convictions or license suspensions, but a narcotic restriction was initially placed on my RN license. Also, I have been 100% compliant with my monitoring program and have had no positive urines. Just starting to get nervous about not being able to get fully licensed and credentialed once I graduate.

I just completed Waldens AGPCNP program and have been approved to sit for boards. I have 11 months left in HPMP program in Virginia and previous public discipline on my RN license. My license is valid in Virginia and I am concerned that the board will not grant me an NP license until I successfully complete this program (July 2018). I am so worried about this. Has anyone been able to get their license while in a monitoring program, or know what I can expect?

Thank you!
