My RN license was revoked by default for failure to correspond to an accusation. Shortly after I moved, my dad suffered from a hemorrhagic stroke and it was the furthest from my mind to update my address. Once I found out my license was revoked, it was a week after it was final and too late to have the board reconsider the decision. The merrit of the accusation didn't cause any patient harm or nothing major. I'm sure if I knew about the accusation and was able to fight it, this would've never resulted in a revocation. I lost everything after that and just been beating myself up daily, but trying to give myself grace because it was a honest mistake and I was dealing with a life event at the time. Any advice going forward? I've applied to Oregon State board of nursing and disclosed my disciple with them. The investigator called me and we spoke for an hour. He will put it in front of the board and see what they want to do.

okay thank you for your response. That's really good information to know. Now that your off the list, do you feel like it's hard to get a job in a hospital since they ask about being on the list in the screening questions. ?

I also have a default order revocation on my California license from failure to respond to the board due to an outdated address. Shortly after I moved, my dad suffered from a stroke and updating my address was the furthest thing from my mind at the time due to the circumstances. Have you found it difficult to find a hospital job? I'm just scared I'll be added to the list (even tho I don't want to) and potentially be blackballed from working at a good hospital since they ask about that with their screening questions. Sorry to vent. just need advice
