Im so sorry your going through a similar situation. My story is much like yours. My past employer and coworkers though have given me wonderful reviews. My problem is my narc restriction. I don't think your past employers can tell them what really...

I feel the exact same way. My daughter is only 7 but she asks me all the time, Mommy when are you going to go back to work. I'm trying to hold my head high and stay positive but it's so hard. I've ran out of places to apply. Interviewed with dial...

Can I private message you? If so I'll do it later tonight if that's ok?.

Delaware wouldn't approve any from KY since that's where you now reside? I know from experience my home state has always made it, what seems to me, harder on me. Not saying that all states BON is any easier so don't get me wrong there. Could you po...

Oh no. I'm so sorry. Don't give up! My home state is a compact state and the state I'm currently living in isn't but to be honest I'm still confused as to what that even means. With the refresher course you have to do clinicals too?

Don't give up..it has been a very difficult road. The most difficult for me now is finding a job. I've been looking for months. Actually had a job but my home state wouldn't approve it. I don't have to pay drug screens for both states, just the s...

I too moved to a different state. A little of my story, I surrendered my license in my home state, stayed there about a year. Well we eventually had to relocate so my husband could get another job, so we moved to another state. I worked on myself an...

Oh my goodness New Grad. I'm so sry to hear your past is still haunting you. It's such a shame it has to be this way ESP since you've been clean for 14 yrs. First off, congrats on your recovery. You've overcame the biggest hurdle so far. I know t...

I've had one dilute sample. It was right after surgery though. They never shared the Cr results. Sent from my iPad using allnurses.com

Hello all. I finally got my date to go before the NCBON. It's thursday July 11. I'm a nervous wreck like I'm sure most of us are or were before going. What should I expect at this appointment? What kind of questions do they ask & how does it ...

Congrats Hunnie. What other jobs did you apply for that the BON turned down? Sent from my iPad using allnurses.com

What jobs did the BON turn you down for? I'm new to the monitoring program & have to wait to be removed off the OIG list before I can start looking. Best of luck in your job search. I know it's very hard on you finically I had to relocate to m...

Ty Michelle. Was there other people in the room with you when they questioned you? How many people are on they're panel? The more I think about it the worse my nerves get. I just want all of this behind me like all of us here. Sent from my iPad u...
