Thank you ! I'm in Ohio

Hello all! so I just applied to take NCLEX, but I when I was approved they said I could take it but I have to agree to probationary terms after I pass NCLEX. So I'm not on probationary terms for alcohol, but I had to disclose about my past issues with drugs that's why they said I have to agree to restrictions and probationary terms. So even though alcohol was not my problem, I'm wondering if they will test for alcohol? Because I do have a drink or two every other week I'm just hoping the board will not hold that against me. Any insight? Please don't be rude LOL.

Hello, all! So I recently graduated nursing school and the board took like 3 months to approve my application, but they said I will have to agree to probationary terms upon passing my NCLEX due to my past record of substance abuse. does anyone know what this would consist of considering I didn't get in trouble or anything I just told them about my past experience going to rehab years ago when applying to take my NCLEX.

Thank you! Putting it in those terms makes a lot of sense I appreciate your response and I most likely won't go about doing it ?

I haven't exhausted all other options because I can't get proper health insurance yet, or I would be properly medicated. I go through the states free insurance and figured marijuana would be cheap and as helpful as the expensive meds and therapists. I've seen it help so many people with many different issues. Clinical studies have showed it actually helps veterans significantly as far as PTSD goes when their medications completely fail them, so I figured it would definitely help me since I most likely don't have it as severe as a veteran. Free state issued insurance can really only give me so many options as far as medications and therapy go, and I have tried many of those medications that are covered by my insurance for many years in different doses and many therapists. The board is aware of my mental health concerns, and I did a good bit of research it is an approved condition. If it is too much of a risk I won't go through with it because it isn't worth putting my license and career at risk. I probably just need to wait until I can get better insurance and can afford decent care. I did want to try something different that could potentially replace all of my other medications.

Thank you ? Yeah you're right, I made another post there, thank you!

Hello world! I recently graduated from nursing school and I cannot really find a straight answer on how the Ohio board reacts to nurses obtaining a medical marijuana card. I have PTSD and another health condition that qualifies me to obtain my medical card, but I'm still confused on if the board is okay with it and if they could revoke or deny my license once I pass my NCLEX. I know it depends on circumstances aswell, but I don't want to jeopardize my license by asking them. Any life experiences or information or links would be sososo helpful.
