Gina-destroyed

Thank you again for taking the time to respond. That's great to hear. I would love to talk to you privately. Is there a way please that I can contact you in private message?

Thank you for your response and input. I have been dealing with this for so long, and it is not an easy journey. I will get through it ?

Thank you so much for your response. I am so sorry that you had to go through this situation, especially for that long. ?I have been going through counseling recently because I am going through so much stress, anxiety, and depression. This is devastating. I have never been under more stress in my life, and I have had a lot of stressful situations in my life. The BON, you would think, would somehow protect nurses or have an understanding, but no the BON is there to get nurses and take their licenses or punish them whenever they get a chance. Nursing shortage? Everyone is wondering why? Because so many nurses are leaving their profession and getting away from bedside care. Nurses are always the first ones to take the blame. If I may ask, are you currently working as APRN?

Hi, thank you for your reply. Yes, you understood me correctly. I have not had any restrictions yet, and I have been working as RN all this time. I do have multiple and multiple letters from my colleagues, managers, and my excellent yearly evaluations. I just don't know how the hearing will go now and would hate to have something on my license, especially my NP, that has nothing to do with this ? I am so depressed and not myself since this all happened. ?

Thank you for your reply and kind words. Yes, I agree with you. I always thought the Board of Nursing is there for nurses too not only for the public. However, going through all my situations, I figured they are more to destroy the nurses. This has been the most challenging time of my life, and would not wish anyone ever to go through this pain. I only can pray to God that all goes well.

He didn't know the answer, and even BON would not give me a clear answer.

I need some help. I have been a nurse for over 13 years in ICU. During, we had no policy or procedures to follow. I was reported to the boards for some stupid BS and set up by the management, nothing drug-related. I was in school for my NP which I completed and passed my boards in January. However, I never applied for my license because my RN license is still under investigation for those allegations from my previous employer. I am currently working and have been all this time as a nurse. My license is still active and doesn't have anything on it, only says formal complaint applied. I have been waiting for this to resolve before I apply for my NP license, but it has been too long. My question is should I apply for my NP license or wait until this resolves? It has been over 2 years that I have been waiting to be resolved. I do have a lawyer and I am taking it to the hearing. Is there anyone in a similar situation as me out there, please? I am devastated. Would anyone ever hire me as NP if I end up getting anything on my RN license such as probation? Please help. Thank you.
