Lime Headed

I have not consulted a lawyer. I will consult one down the road if it comes to it, at the moment I am holding out hope that I will get my license after the board reviews my documents.

The prescriptions were indeed prescribed to me. Now to be honest I was abusing them, and I've made a lot of changes in my life. I have been clean and sober for over 3 years, during this time I made the decision to go back to school and start a second career in nursing, and I've graduated with my BSN. I attend 12 step meetings and have a network and a sponsor and all of that. The only reason I am saying this is because I have spoken to someone who had a possession drug charge that he lied about on the nursing application, the BON made him take part in the RAMP program and it took him almost a year to get his license. I have't disclosed any of my story to the board other than the documents they have asked for at this time.

Hello all, I have searched this website and read many threads about nurses that have had previous infractions and dealt with the Board of Nursing and RAMP programs etc. There have been a few posts about people who have had DWI arrests however it never seems like anyone comes back to update the thread on what ultimately ended up happening. I made a mistake 6 years ago and was arrested for a DWI offense. My BAC was 0 as I hadn't been drinking, however I was under the influence of prescription drugs at that time that I was abusing. It was a mistake and since then I have done a lot to better my life including staying clean and sober for 3+ years and going through this entire nursing school process. I was just wondering if anyone had any relevant experience with a DWI in New Jersey. I disclosed the incident, all the papers that were asked for and they have uploaded them all today. This has already taken longer than I would have liked it to and I have employment pending. Any additional information would be appreciated. I heard that the board reviews cases once a month, and the date I have is Friday December 7th. Am I allowed to take part in this process at all? Can I show up in Newark and plead my case? Once again any experience would be appreciate thank you!

I have been going back and forth with the NJ Board of nursing regarding my DWI arrest that took place 6 years ago. If anybody from this thread can update on how it went for them it would be appreciated. At this point I have provided all of the documents that they have requested and the last information I have from them is that my application is under legal review.
