Agree we have to fight small wins but wins none the less

You are definitely right. I AM getting closer to retirement, and when I do I will write every senator or elected officials of each board regarding the scam of IPN. They ruin careers and humiliate nurses into submission. I will never forget after I had my eval elsewhere they IPN evaluator across from me saying " well I guess we will see if your telling the truth about this situation which I believe you are not" I was.just like really. So when I get back into this group it will be 2 years until I retire. I will be documenting this whole thread. I have started already( without names of course). I will be in touch with people if that is what they would like and get this IPN change in gear.

So Florida never removes the mark? That is awful. You right about the co vites felon. This is why I believe I. Goi g to try and get some of this changed if possible. I'm still working for a few more years but this system needs some changes. I know it has helped many but is has also ruined many careers and it shouldn't have.

It has been with certain company's. I went back to the hospital I worked at while it happened while the decided what my fate would be. My hospital did not like the way this all went down and took me back. I had no resitrictions. I cannot travel becuase of it. It is public and just states that you have the mark I am not sure everyone can see the reason for the mark

Your right..the recruiter I worked with regarding travel said. If you have a mark they will bypass you if they are reputable becuase they can ..which is understandable. I just hope someday this all changes ...The job I have now is great and I make great money. I'll stay here till I retirein 5 years becuase I honestly don't want to go through the hassle...

Unfortunately it has with a few hospitals and for travel nursing. On mine it doesn't State what happened its just the mark. My lawyer said just don't tell them..I'm like ya right I would not hire someone who wasn't honest. It is supposed to come off after 10 years or so I have read if unfounded which mine was. But I don't know that yet I'm at a 8 year mark. I am currently working at the hospital this all happened at . If nothing else after my fight they changed the policy at the hospital. If your injured which I was by a patient the first thing they used to do was drug test you. Now they do not. The whole mess is just that a mess..which is why I vow after I retire to try and change the system...I got the policy changed slightly at my hospital so it's a start. If you can fight it do it !!.but if you can't that's understandable. It's exhausting and expensive.

I won in the respect that I ddnthave to do IPN BS. But still have a mark and still cost a ton.and...still had to pay restitution to the crooked BON. But it was worth it to me

Are you in sarasota?? I cld give ypu the name I used but was not really pleased with Becuase after it all I still have a mark on my license..FOR NOTHING. Do a search online , make some calls and speak with them first before deciding. Becuase my retainer was 3500 before they would do anything. I will see what I can find and will forward

Sounds like they are also in the pocket . Who are they but a platform to connect us????? IF they we like what he say....we have to find another avenue.

Perfect and yes the more the better. I have a notebook full of things already but like I said must retire first....as I am Sure anyone who challenges them will be up for review and license revoked. My email is janetfox38agmail.com. please let's keep in touch and maybe do something good ?

This story is just unreal and a testament to the way an employer can get rid of you if they choose. I hope you keep fighting and keep your good un restricted license.. I hope they understand that this is another reason they have a nursing shortage.

I wish that were true, but as we have all seen and read here they do nothing to help. They are along with the BON ruining a once prestigious career. 5 more years to retire and I will put my energy directed at them. I may not be able to change everything but to get this out to the people who are not nurses....it may shed light on their lying ,stealing ways

4 years ago I wrote to DeSantis never heard anything. I think we ALL do this and keep doing it until the system is changed. I am about 7 years from retirement. I am making it my mission, after they can no longer mess with me , to get the frauds changed...maybe have them give nurses restitution for all the bogus charges and money we have spent...we can all hope anyway...becuase this fraudulent system HAS to go !

Agreed but the money that it all costs is unbelievable. I know it bankrupted me. Finally paid my last 3000 to the BON. Another criminal in the whole mess. But I do agree ? we can't let them win

I agree ... will have to do some research. You would think that something like that would be in place . But I will be looking and letting everyone know what I find out.
