Obtaining NP and DEA license after IPN

[dag1986]

Hello everyone. I was hoping to get a little bit of information if anybody out there could help. I am a nurse in Florida, and in September 2022, I completed a contract with IPN for diversion. I am not proud of this in any way shape or form, however, I completed the program without any issues, I have a clear and active state nursing license without any complaints or actions taken against it. I also am about to finish my nurse practitioner degree this coming October. I am just curious if any anybody out there has had any experience with this, as I have to divulge that I was in a monitoring program when I apply for my NP state license. I'm just trying to see if the state will possibly give me a hard time when applying for my license, or even trying to obtain a DEA number so that I am able to write prescription. Any information would help at this point, whether it is good or bad thank you very much.

The questions on license applications vary by state.  Some states ask if you have an addiction or mental health issue that impairs your ability to practice safely, for those you can answer no. For other states where it's worded differently you need to show you've completed a monitoring program.  I'm going to stick to states that I can answer no and take the easiest way.

Congratulations on getting through... I just comply my probation in MA and want to to NP school.  Of course they want the details, it it dragged up all those shameful feelings.   

I'm curious what does the future look like for a NP grad with a disciplinary action on their history?
