LDER RN

I did private duty home care sales/marketing, Sales/Marketing @ at an assisted living, sales/marketing for Insurance, Side business of website setup, business advertising and marketing materials and creation. $ was better at Assisted living than nursing ever was, and it was day shift with way more perks. It has been ruff, I have no idea how it will go when I get my petition completed and sent to the board. I am trying to search online how to write an explanation of why my license was revoked and why I should be given a chance here in Missouri. I have been looking at the app for 3 years and just been so scared to try for fear and anxiety gets the best of me. I don't know if I have to go in person in front of the board if I could do it. Too much anxiety! It has taken a lot of time, and I still look back at my mistakes and feel I don't deserve to get my license back, I feel like I failed my family. I am no longer the stable breadwinner of the family. I know if the board makes me tell my Dr. & explain my meds and what not I can't/won't do that. I do not want to ruin all I have worked for. I have tried to grow and improve and never want to let anyone bully me into anything and have a complete breakdown like I did that caused this. I am the most stable I have ever been, but I really want those 2 letters back behind my name where they belong.

I gave up 5yrs ago in Ohio, been living in Missouri, now I am considering the long journey of petitioning for reinstatement. I don't know if it is worth it. 5 yrs ago in Ohio , it wasn't and I am better that I didn't. It is painful to be treated the way they do. I just surrendered, now my license says prominently revoked which I didn't know they could do. Why did a pay 3k to surrender it if they were just going to put revoked? If anyone has ever successfully moved states and tried to get reinstated there please please message me or post how it went and was it worth it?!

I myself have been looking for a good Missouri BON lawyer and have not found one, I will let you know if I do come across one with a manageable fee. I had a TERRIBLE one in Ohio, and now live in MO and trying to see if can fix a permanently revoked license. I would cut all that down to a couple of minimum sentences. I know they record everything and it is used against you in your hearing. Please keep us updated on how it is going. I am following your question and would be a good ear if you need to message someone to talk. I lost my license 5 years ago, and it has taken a lot of time to be 100% ready to attempt to return to nursing in the way I should. With clear eyes and an open clear mind. My thoughts are with you!
