Alcohol is no concern. It would be positive for 75% of the country for a PETH test. It's legal in all 50 states and Federally, it's legal. You aren't in a monitoring program yet, so woopty doo if...
All the best for you. Each person's situation is different. IF I had the financial means years ago, I would have forgone monitoring and gave up nursing. I would also not have surrendered my license,...
Congrats on being done. Unfortunately, the discipline you had will always show except in the rarest circumstances. It stays for good, IF....IF....the BON made your discipline public in the beginning....
You have a shot. What you just described is EXACTLY what I discussed in the previous post about possible exceptions for expungement. Literally, you just described the exact scenario I have earlier...
Got it, so your case manager you are referring to is someone on the BON and not the recovery program case manager. As for the BON case manager who told you that if you have no issues with KARE, the...
Let's be careful with words here. Words matter.
A. Discipline Removed (meaning) the public or another nurse board can NOT see any past discipline you had when looking at nursys site or your...

No, they don't and they can't. No state can legally force you to do ANYTHING with another states license. Now, they can and will make you a single state license and non compact. You also can't...

Some people reply with a BON perspective because the BON is the one making the decision. A nurses perspective matters, but a nurses perspective does Not matter at all As It Relates to the decision....
Answer for Texas is NO in most overwhelming cases. Are there exceptions? Yes. If a human falls 40 feet, over 98 percent die. 2 in 100 might live. The odds of being an exception to Texas work...
