Permanent Restrictions

Published

Can permanent restrictions ever be removed? I live in Ohio and I have permanent restrictions such as not working in home health, hospice, director positions, etc. I want to relocate to N.C. but they will not reciprocate licensure with any sort of encumbrance. TIA?

Hi hbpa2021,

Similar to my state of Nebraska, Ohio has one of the most punitive programs for nurses with disciplinary action on their licenses.

The only way for you to get a real answer to your question is to consult an administrative law attorney who specializes in professional licensure matters.

In my case, after several years of probation, my license is "unencumbered," I.e. I have permission to work in any kind of nursing job, but I will forever have a "black mark" on my license. I have lost many, many job offers the minute my license was looked up.

This is one major reason I don't have a job with health benefits and am crippled by knee arthritis that I need expensive, and un-covered, knee replacement surgery for.

Good luck to you!

Hello! Are you currently working as a nurse with narc restrictions? I need ideas of places I can work where I won’t need to admin narcs. I hear dialysis is a good place to start. I also heard jails from someone today because they said no narcs can be given there? I don’t know if that’s true or not though. Thank you!

Outpatient chemotherapy or infusion centers are an option as well

I have had my narcotic restrictions lifted. I found a position in Nurse Navigation and have thankfully been working there for the last 3 years. I found it extremely difficult to find employment. I got lucky with this one because a major focus for the position is helping pregnant women get into recovery or help them stay in recovery. I’ve applied several places over the last couple years to try to get back into some hands on nursing but all of my applications get declined almost immediately. I’ve heard it’s easier to get positions in addiction nursing, dialysis, and home health- if that’s not a restriction for you. Home health is one of my permanent restrictions so I wasn’t able to try for that. Good luck!
