Hi all. I started in RAMP several months ago after being reported by my work for diversion. I was terminated, reported to the BON and local police, thankfully no charges were ever brought forward from a legal perspective. I completed an inpatient treatment program and IOP, and am in the beginning stages of RAMP now. I know a lot of people say give it time, but I am strongly considering leaving nursing behind due to the stress involved/anticipated with 5 years of this program. My question is, doing so will likely involve me being reported to the BON, and a mark against my license. Say I began looking at other careers that might involve licensure, such as going for my MSW, would my withdrawal from RAMP negatively affect me in pursuing these other avenues? I'm really grateful to have avoided worse consequences, and part of me understands that this program is what I get for what I did. Another part of me simply wants to move on with my life after everything I have been through the last few years, and I sometimes do wonder if I deserve to go back to working as a nurse after what I did. Like I said, I just want to get myself cleaned up and move onto something else, I just want to know if getting involved with monitoring then leaving will haunt me though.
