I don't see why there would technically be a problem with the way you answered. In #2 all you (mistakenly) did was decline to give up your right to NOT incriminate yourself by answering question #3....
OP, can you clarify this? What do you mean you received monetary damages? Was this in the form of unpaid days off as part of your discipline or some sort of actual fine or...?
Very sorry you are...

I can see how it's nice to know for the next nurse's assessment and have no problem with that.

If you...
Well this isn't entirely helpful, but no they can't make you. On the other hand they don't have to continue to employ you either. This is one of those topics for which you need to decide where to draw...
