A bit of a long winded story, but here we go. Around three years ago I had a mental health crisis and did something against my place of employment's policy; I dated a former patient. My judgement was clouded during this time and I acknowledge what I did was wrong. When I finally "came to" those years ago, I was the one who turned myself in. I was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol. My place of employment turned me into the state of New York's BON. The NYSBON investigated me and put me on an indefinite suspension about a year later until I could prove I was mentally fit to practice. Well, I did just that. I took the education courses they required and paid my fine as well. I was then placed on probation. I worked for a week before I got a letter from Medicaid/care saying that they were going to ban me from working anywhere that accepted Medicaid/care because of my unprofessional conduct. They allowed me to appeal, but ultimately ignored it and decided to ban me anyway. This left me feeling, for lack of a better word, hopeless when it came to my nursing career. So I decided to change careers and go back to school. I'm being interviewed for a part time job in a workplace that is not healthcare related soon. This leads to my next question: will this incident show up on a background check? I'm asking because 1.) I don't want to not mention it and then it come up and 2.) I want to have the opportunity to brace myself for having to repeat my wrongdoing over and over again as I start looking for jobs again. I don't want to sound too depressing, but I so desperately want to move on from this. The incident led to no criminal conviction of any kind, just my ban from working anywhere that accepts Medicaid/care and my probation. Any bit of advice is appreciated.
