Thanks

I thought I might have some restrictions so I called and was informed that I don't have any practice restrictions. The med error did involve a controlled substance. Would the BON be required to notify me if I'm legally barred from passing narcotics? Would that be a BON thing or is it individually based on the facility?

In August of 2016 I made a med error. My first and only error. I was terminated and It was reported to the BON and as a result I received a reprimand. I have been unable to find employment. I have until November to complete the requirements of my consent agreement (ceu's and pay a fine). What can I do differently to get a job? I have been being honest during interviews with employers about what happened and they all say they feel bad that I am going thru this but then I never get a call back. I have been a LPN for almost 5 years. Before nursing, I was a home health aid since 2005. Healthcare is all I know. I've applied for non nursing jobs but no one even calls me for an interview for those jobs. Probably because I don't have the kind of experience they are looking for. I need advice on how to get my foot in the door. At this point any door will do. I have 4 children and a husband. I used to be the breadwinner and now I can't even find a job 😭😭😭😭
