That's what i have heard myself, that you don't want to make waves. the only thing i know right now is that if you want to keep your lic. you have to do what they say. In Michigan if you you have to go through HPRP but i guess you have to evaluate whats best for you, either work in non medical for a while and keep clean stay off HPRP radar. Or just give your nursing lic. up. not sure of the ramifications on giving up your license though. Best of Luck!! Keep us Posted

Thank you everyone for the support and best wishes. I will get through this just like everyone else. Good Ideas on here! As far as my lic. goes its still in good standing. And i was granted a saftey to practice again. Now the Hunt is on for a place that is HPRP friendly. Any Ideas for that in the State of MIchigan? And I like the Obama care Idea as well! Thank you all so Much!!

Hi all, I just signed my contract a couple weeks ago. I have since lost my job. now they want me to see therapist after therapist i have lost my insurance. And I cant afford it. I have been a LPN for almost 20 years. I was accused of Diverting Hydrocodone from a patients home. At the time I didn't do this, but I did have a problem with them. I was addicted. The home I was in at the time lets say was less than sketchy. In a pretty bad neighborhood. Anyway when I was confronted with this from my supervisor at the time I was shocked to say the least. But I did admit to being on them at the time, so i guess they couldn't drug test me. but they didn't offer either. I never head anything from them regarding this until about a month later then i lost my job. 1 year later i heard from the state of Michigan and I was going to be investigated. Mind you I had started with another homecare company. I met with the investigator explained the whole situation and admitted to have a problem with them. I went to my PCP who prescribed them to me and was up front and honest and told him i needed off from them. I was put on suboxone and i am on it still. I feel so alone in all this and don't know what to do or where to turn. I am actually thinking about giving up my nursing lic. But what would I do? I'm to old to go back to school, but I also thought about starting my own home caregiving company. I don't know what to do I am at a loss. I do have support from my family. If i did go back to school I would go for medical billing and coding. My head has been spinning I have lost 2 jobs over this now. I just can't afford all of this! I just don't get how they can do this to people and expect them to live. Okay my rant is over. But I really would like some feedback on this. Thank you!!!
