I am a nurse that is being tortured by my past. I have been a nurse for 18 years. Life got ruff a few years ago and I decided that it was too much. I went to a call room in the hospital and tried to give myself propafal. I then tried to jump off the 5th floor balcony. I was off the clock, not in a patient area or scheduled to work. It was reported to the board of nursing they charged me with fit for duty. The problem lies that they did not do a fit for duty drug test. The drug test in the ER was neg. They waited a year to take me before the board. I couldn't work and had no income to obtain an attorney I place my life in there hands because the hospital said if I didn't fight it they would pay me disability. I needed it. I received a 2 year probation. Ok 2 years later after hours of therapy and working for 27.00 at a LTC facility you would think it was over. Not even close. They reported to the national practitioners data base that I could not preform my duties due to substance abuse and mental issues. I WAS NOT WORKING. This is a government data base and will haunt me for the rest off my life. My career is basicly destroyed. How about that for past haunting you. Just remember sometimes you have to fall. I can't find a lawyer willing to take on Dartmouth Hospital and New hampshire board of nursing. Im still looking. What are my options they are bleak
