@SopranoKris I’m thinking about pursuing a dual ACNP/FNP program. How was your experience at South Alabama?

Thanks @Gino Vizzini!

@NedRN thanks for your response! That was really helpful. ?

Hi all, I was disciplined by the board but I have completed disciplinary action and have had an unencumbered license with no restrictions for almost a year. I am still working as a staff nurse and have been wondering about travel nursing but I’m not sure if I will be asked about my disciplinary history. Has anyone been in a similar situation? I have been a nurse for 8 years with ICU and PACU experience.

Have you been able to obtain NP licensure and insurance?

@Kchilk do you mind sharing what the FNP program and directors said?

that's crazy!! I'm sorry they rescinded your offer. I hope you'll get accepted somewhere once you're done with monitoring.

was it difficult obtaining an NP license and finding an NP job?

I've posted a very similar question in a different thread because I'm wondering the same thing. I was recently let go from my job and have had no luck in finding another, with 1.5 yrs of monitoring left. I want to go to NP school as well after I'm done my board order, but I don't know if it's even worth the time and effort if there's a slim chance of me getting accepted, let alone finding a job afterwards. I don't know if it'd be in my best interest in leaving this profession and pursuing a different career.

I really needed to read this. This gives me hope that it is possible to be successful after disciplinary action. I want to go to NP school after I've completed my board order, but I'm scared no school will accept me. I've received a public reprimand with stipulations. I was terminated from my job and I'm in the process of finding another with no luck. I can only imagine getting into an NP program, let alone finding an NP position afterwards would be difficult for me as well. So I wonder if grad schools would be more likely to accept me if I chose a program that wasn't clinical like MSN-MBA, nursing informatics, or research? I just get so discouraged when I have to explain the ding on my license on every single application now. I've even considered leaving this profession, making a career change and work my way towards becoming a PA instead. I want to pursue higher education. I just want to know what my options are in the future and the likelihood of success.

Wow!! That's amazing! I wish that could be an option for me

Hi everyone, I'm currently in the same boat: stipulations requiring indirect RN supervision with quarterly evaluations for 2 years, no employment in home health, hospice, or agency. I've read in another forum that dialysis companies are stipulation friendly and so I've applied to a few positions. Has anyone tried med spas, dermatology clinics, or other small private practices? Also, has anyone applied for graduate school, gotten accepted, and obtained their MSN/DNP/Ph.D after their board orders were completed and licenses unencumbered?
