I wish I were in a recovery program. Looking bad I wish I had applied. I got a lawyer, took my 2 year suspension, and looking forward to reinstatement in March 2020. It’s hard to get excited because I know it will be hard to find a job. Even when I ask nurses on here they don’t want to say where they are or types of jobs they now have. It’s hard to not feel alone. I can’t even find any nursing groups for recovery or for medical professionals.

Yes, I was a new grad with barely a year experience. I’m just trying to network now and look for possible rehab facilities that would take me on. I know zero nurses that have gone through what I have so it makes this process even more harder to deal with. There are tons of rehab facilities out there but i won’t be able to prescribe suboxone during my first year of probation. But I’m grateful for the opportunity for a second chance but they make it damn near impossible to get back into things especially having this forever black cloud follow me for the rest of my life.

Hi Catmom, I’m a nurse practitioner due to be reinstated in March and my 3 years of probation starts when I find employment. I’m definitely going to try to seek employment in addiction due to less stigma. Where are you located at in Ohio? I’m north of Dayton. Sheena

Where are you in your journey? I too am a NP in recovery!

What kind of facilities did you all work at while on probation?

Could you guys email me? [email protected] I get reinstated in 3 months And I would like to connect with some fellow nurses to see what probation is like. And also to see how hard it was to find employment. Thanks

Your license will forever be marked.
