Thank you. You’re so knowledgeable and supportive I wondered of you were part of the KBN. I was actually hesitant to talk to you any further. ...15 posts, huh? Interesting...

Can we talk? I have never broken the rules before. The amount of stress and anxiety this is giving me is overwhelming. I want to quit, but I have two teenagers and a 9 year old. As well as a mortgage. I can’t afford to quit. I just want to disappear.

I’m so scared. I feel so defeated. I cannot imagine not wearing perfume or using hand sanitizer for the next five years. My DUI was due to alcohol. Why are they treating me like a drug abuser? I don’t think I can do this. I already have anxiety and depression. I have my whole life. This is more than I can handle.

Help me!!!!!! I’m devastated and scared and don’t feel like I can do this

I could definitely use some support

I have a meeting with the KBN next week. I am sick over the KARE “draft” they sent me. I have been a nurse for 21 years and never had anything bad on my record. I’ve worked on the same unit for 20 years and am the unit “go to” for every possible patient worry or concern a less experienced nurse my have. I cannot believe what the “KARE” program is expecting of me. I was arrested for my first (& ONLY) DUI last year and have been living in a nightmare ever since. Rapists get off easier than what I have been through. I want to give my career up. I’m anxious and depressed. Giving up isn’t an options though. I have three children and a mortgage. My husband, who is also a nurse, doesn’t drink alcohol (has never approved of alcohol or drugs of any kind), is also APPALLED at what the KBN is putting me through. This is an absolute nightmare!!
