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 g...

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 of...

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 retai...

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...

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 ever...

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 ch...

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.

You are NOT alone sad thing is if you give up then that's a win for them and a loose for nurses. It is BS and expensive but KEEP pushing on. When it's over and you still have your license share with other nurses your experience. I always do so the ...

So happy for you !! I had to switch jobs in order to stay home for a year and care for my father who recently passed away away. I found out that the "mark" against my license did matter. I wanted to be a travel nurse and make some good money for a b...

So true. Someday!! I really want to see what can be done about all this. I will have to wait until I'm no longer a nurse. I have no doubt they would come after me. I'm a few years from retirement. I'm seriously going to research and push back. At t...

I went through this nightmare 4 years ago. My dream....when I'm a retired nurse... to try and lobby and fix this broken system somehow. How can a job that is so respected be reduced to these crazy people ruining your life. No other job is subjected t...

I was unable to work while waiting for IPN to contact me . I was out 5 months before it was all over. My story is very different. Wish you the best it is a long , difficult road for sure.

I was referred to IPN and received a crazy 5 year contract because I have been on Wellbutrin for 15 years. The hospital I work with stated that I would get Short term disability , as Other nurses have in the past. I was refused and have just receive...

So sorry that this has happened to you. Sadly it has happened thousands of us. When I said that I am going to lobby or do something I mean it. This cannot continue to go on the way it is. My experience has also been awful.

I will also be working In the Florida area to do what I can for the unfairness and unrealistic expectations of this IPN program. In the next few years I pray that they will have other plans and ways to help nurses that need it . I also pray that the...

After having a pt crack my ribs at work i had to take a drug screen. Unfortunately it was positive for THC a very small amount. (30/ng/dl) i am being turned over to a program (IPN) within my hospital that treat impaired nurses. I have never had a pro...

I am from florida.any insight will help. Learning that bin will be notified and could come at anytime .... How does anyone make it through 5 years and ..how many times do they find another reason to keep you in the program? I worry about the policy o...

I'm so confused. Lawyer said nothing about the BON and having a contract with them. If I am turned over I want to know how much was it for someone to go through 5 years of IPN. I was told 20, 000 if not.more and they always find a reason to extend ev...

I could not agree with you more!! Somehow we need to get this program monitored better. I'm happy for people who had good experiences and received the help they needed. But if you do not have a problem and are treated like you do it is not just not ...

Wanted to give an update to my situation. I agreed to follow though with IPN. I figured that my lisence was more important and I didn't have 2500 for a lawyer. Was I wrong.. after the assessment of not having any dependency issues and all screens ne...

You have to hire an attorney...I tried to do the right thing and go through IPN . After paying a thousand dollers for the assessment ( which said I was not a drug abuser and all tests were negative) I was given the lightest of treatments. Six counce...
