1. Returning to school after discipline

   Matt1977 replied to Matt1977's topic in Recovery

   I’m lucky to live in the great state of Ohio as well. ? No, I don’t think those restrictions can be completely lifted. However, given board approval, I am allowed to deviate from the permanent restrictions.

2. Returning to school after discipline

   Matt1977 replied to Matt1977's topic in Recovery

   Looking at it that way, I think you’re correct. I believe the permanent restrictions are what keeps my license encumbered. I doubt they will lift the permanent restrictions altogether. I think it is a way to continue monitoring at some level. My perm...

3. Returning to school after discipline

   Thank you for your response and congratulations on your achievement. My license is unencumbered(completion of monitoring and probation) but I do have permanent practice restrictions. These permanent practice restrictions are up to the discretion of t...

   Hello again everyone, Has anyone pursued getting a bachelor’s or master’s degree post discipline. If so, was your license encumbered?

5. Ohio - completing monitoring

   Matt1977 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Recovery

   I have the same permanent practice restrictions. I spoke with my monitor today as I had applied to a university and was denied due to an encumbered license. He says it is forever encumbered due to the permanent restrictions. That’s incredibly tough...

6. Ohio - completing monitoring

   Matt1977 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Recovery

   Come on now, you can do this. What’s two more months of 6 years. That’s child’s play. Like I said, I asked to be released early. Just ask in time to be released before their next meeting. Can only say no. Otherwise I think you’ll end up waiting. Thin...

7. Ohio - completing monitoring

   Matt1977 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Recovery

   I’m not certain. I can tell you that my 3 year mark was in August. I wasn’t released until October. I had to wait an additional period of time due to the timing. However, I think you can ask for early release. It’s worth a shot. Worse they can do is ...

8. Unencumbered license

   Matt1977 replied to Matt1977's topic in Recovery

   I see. I don’t doubt the accuracy. It appears they have the dates correct as far as board action and my time during suspension and probation. Other than that I don’t know what else to say. Again, as far as I’m concerned, my license isn’t encumbered. ...

9. Ohio - completing monitoring

   Matt1977 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Recovery

   Completed probation about 8-9 months ago. Once I met the time requirements I contacted the board and asked to be released. They held their next meeting and I was granted the end of my probation. Once that decision is made, my monitor contacted me and...

10. Unencumbered license

    Matt1977 replied to Matt1977's topic in Recovery

    Well, it appears that if you use nursys.com it will state whether or not your license is unencumbered. I was unaware as Ohio’s board license system just states whether or not you’ve been disciplined. Just difference in wording and system I guess. Yes...

11. Unencumbered license

    Matt1977 posted a topic in Recovery

    Hi all, I am a recovering addict and am trying to go back to school. I am nearly 6 years post-discipline and recently applied to graduate school. I was ultimately denied due to having an encumbered license. Does anyone have any experience with return...
