PDRN

I was recently convicted of a federal drug felony, and even though I still have a restricted RN license, I am finding it impossible to find work. I am wondering if anyone has ever "gone into business" for themselves- I am planning on giving up my lic...

I use them, they are super simple, and so convenient. You perform the test in front of your camera, upload the test, and then drop it in a fedex box at your earliest convenience.

I am a critical care RN with years of experience, who pled guilty to a federal felony diversion charge. I have been in my state's probation program with great results, and was practicing again. When I pled guilty I lost my job, as I will at some poin...

Thank you for the food for thought! Very helpful! 🙂

Thank you for your comment- unfortunately, mine is a federal conviction, so guaranteed OIG list 😕

Insurance and MedSpa are great ideas- LTC won't work, as the area I live in only has the one major health system that let me go in the first place because of the impending OIG list inclusion. They also run the local LTC facilities. But...thank ...

I will be on the OIG exclusion list for 5 years starting in the near future, but am not losing my license. Has anyone had any success finding a job while on the list? What type of job? I can't work for any entity that accepts federal funding, ie: Med...

I have a question- how soon after you were fond/ pled guilty did you get placed on the OIG? Is it an immediate thing, or does it take a bit?

I am in my state’s assistance program for mental health issues that culminated in diversion, and am listed on the National Practitioners Database, I hold MN and CA licenses, too, but plan on surrendering CA. Since one desperate act has unlocked so ma...

I have a expired CA RN license, and am a resident of another state, disciplined in the state I reside. CA discovered the discipline, and has now offered me a settlement, but it can be tolled. Yes, I have an attorney, I'm just wondering what other's e...

I wound up tolling, it just bothers me that for the rest of my career I will need to admit my CA is subject to discipline.

My caseworker told me that they regularly monitor our state's prescription databank, whatever that means. I also had asked what if I did need a narcotic, as *** happens, and she said as long as there's a valid prescription and reason- I think they're...

Last Sept I diverted a vial of Fentanyl to use in my suicide plan, did it on camera, didn’t give a ***. Last hour of last day of work. Recruiter called husband, who stopped me from finishing the job. I’m in a compact state, and am in that state’s dis...

I am thinking about quitting all of this BS. Leaving nursing behind. im 55, can’t retire. What else could I do, besides work at WalMart?

Share options, because I am having a hard time thinking of what else I would do...I'm also older and don't feel like I have the time to do a 180 on my career, but also am not sure I want to spend what few years I may have left under the BON's thumb.

I was thinking one of those laughs you make Siri do when you rename yourself hahahahahahahhehehehahahaha 😉

I'm glad to hear you laugh, even if it's a weak, virtual laugh. like Haaaaaaaaaaahehehehehehahahahahaahahahahaaaa 😉

TikTok was the only thing that kept me sane for a long time. I love to laugh, and that is the only thing that made me do so. People are so creative! I also was on Ambien at that time, my MD was kind and generous, and knew I had trouble sleeping, othe...

I diverted one vial of Fentanyl, was caught, and am in my state's diversion program currently. When this all happened, I was contacted by my state's DCI, but I had already retained a criminal defense attorney, along with an attorney to represent me i...

Other than an annoyed patient, I'm sure you did no harm. You'd be surprised where we inject in the ER when necessary- pretty much wherever we can if the patient is combative. To cover yourself, document what the provider said to you...or just remembe...

If you do decide to report her, go to the BON, bypass hospital personnel or administration. Yuck...she sounds like a delight.

My bff got her RN to BSN through the University of Phoenix, and our state's CRNA program did indeed look down at a "online tech school" degree instead of a brick and mortar degree. They actually stated that, and she was in such disbelief she told any...

As a RN that worked many years at a critical access facility in western Montana, my advice would be get a staff position in a larger facility for a year or so, preferably ER 😉 to get bones in your feet, so to speak. These little hospitals in these be...

How did you get accepted into a FNP program with no nursing experience? I've never heard of such a thing! (edit: no snarkiness intended- I feel for you, how overwhelmed you must be.)

I am curious about this as well, I was an experienced travel RN before I lost my mind. The thing I worry about is that my name will show up on the National Practitioners Database, and I'm not sure if there's a way to get that removed.
