Hi all. I'm a nurse that works and lives in Arizona that received dui in arizona (and was working/living in az at the time too). At the time, I held a California license (which is now expired). Arizona didn't take action but California wants to place my license on probation. I don't intend to ever work or live in California and I don't even visit the state. I've had very conflicting advice from attorneys and want to find someone with actual experience. Advice#1-surrender my license since I would likely violate my probation because I do not live or work there and cannot fulfill it. In regards to the OIG list, I likely wouldn't be placed on it because my case does not have to do with controlled substances or fraud and is not on the list of mandatory exclusions. Advice#2- probationary term #4 states that my probation is tolled when I'm not living or residing in the state of California however it doesn't state a timeframe as to if and when I'd have to return to cali. some say I don't have to worried about completing probation since it will be tolled and others say that eventually the Board of Nursing will revocate my license because I'm just trying to get out of my probation by keeping it tolled. I cannot find information on either of these options anywhere. I am a happy, functioning, thriving, successful nurse in Arizona and I would like to keep it that way
