Also, thanks anyone for their advice or help. You have no idea how much I appreciate it right now.

In their agreed order that they sent me it they did say 1) pay money, 2) random urine and alcohol tests for one year 3) supervised employment for one year. I let them know that I wasn't able to sign that agreed order because I was in CRNA school although I'd be willing to follow their agreed order as long as it could reflect the fact that I was in school, not employed. Afterwards, they sent me a Formal Charge (that has now appeared on my license) citing that basically my conduct isn't fit for nursing and that I could be a danger to patient safety. I'm under the impression that they're trying to strong arm me here into succumbing to their outrageous penalties but I have to be sure. I have already gotten their addiction evaluation done which came back with "no diagnosis." Does anyone know the probability that they will suspend my license? If I can't finish the program the amount of debt I would be in from not working for almost a year now as well as school is staggering. I have no idea how I would ever be able to come out of it. It's almost to the place where I might as well change professions all over again.

Hey everyone, I'm currently a SRNA who started school with two previous dwi arrests, both of which were reduced to obstructions of highway. I am currently on probation and have no problems while in school. I am a straight A student in my program right now. Before applying to the CRNA program I had already told the school my history and they had no problem with it either. I had also self reported myself to the board of nursing as I am supposed to. The issue I'm having now is that the Nursing Board has, after many months, decided to press Formal Charges on me while I am in the CRNA program. So I have two questions: 1. Does anyone know if the hospitals and anesthesia groups that I will need to do my internship under care about having formal charges? 2. How bad are formal charges really? Basically if I can't continue my program I'm in such an amount of debt AND I wouldn't be able to get a job afterwards because of the formal charges on my license that my life is basically suspended indefinitely. In my opinion I'd have to start over for good in life and just choose another career even though I'm so close to realizing my goals.
