I just had to come back and say something after reading the first couple of comments in this thread. The BON has ways of finding out about addictions that lead to legal issues (Including a court...

I really really really advise you to speak with an RN Attorney in your state. They will have an RN and also a JD (Juris Doctorate). You can find one here: https://taana.org/ Do not disclose a word...
I agree with you. I tried not to be too hard on the original poster, but I do think there were some lessons to be had here. I hope that ultimately she comes to realize that mistakes happen, and it's...

How the heck did you get all of that expunged? My state, as far as I know, wont allow expungement from DUIs or anything after a first misdemeanor (I thought that was a national thing). Share with me...
Has anybody here ever had to enter into a providers recovery program in order to sit for the NCLEX-RN? In MI we have the HPRP, for reference. I just finished my accelerated BSN in August & am...

I know it a nerve wracking time, but it sounds like you've waited a long time for this to "go somewhere," so to speak, and I'll be looking forward to seeing you power through this! This too shall...

This comes from no direct experience in this specific topic, but my advice is always to go for your dreams. It will be difficult, but I don't think impossible. The difference between people who reach...
Does anybody know how much a qualified professional licensing lawyer can help you with making modifications or changes to a proposed HPRP contract? I'm asking because, despite not being in the...

I think it's commendable that you self-reported and were honest to a fault about it. I have no experience with this yet (you responded to my pre-licensure dual-diagnosis post a couple days ago), but...
Thank you, Bravo. I wish you all the best in your 3 year contract as well. I wish I had 20 years of successful RN experience behind me to try and help me gain employment and plead my case to the BON....
Hi Hippiegirl, thank you for responding. MI is not a self-referral only. You can either self-referral, which they say keeps the treatment confidential, or can be referred in by the BON or employer...
I'm certainly in no position to lecture you; I am in recovery and haven't even taken my NCLEX yet because of a pending legal situation. However, I do echo what other people are saying to a certain...
I'm not to that point yet emotionally. I'm trying to get my mental health and legal situation under control before I go hunting for an RN job without even a guarantee of a nursing license. But when...
That is great to hear. I'll have to look into the career opportunities for that around my area; I know of a few dialysis clinics within a 40 mile radius of me, but am not sure if they are well staffed...
Thank you very much, rn1965. This lawyer does have a lot of experience defending licenses. She works primarily with health care providers and licensure issues. I am hoping that I misunderstood her,...
