Thanks for your suggestions and info about OIG I had never even heard about that but i did the self query and im not on it yippie!!!!

I currently have a suspended Fl license but am eligable to apply for reinstatement. My license was suspended in 2006, i had a + uds at work self reported to ipn did 30 day inpatient, relapsed, revaluated and sent to six mo treatment program which unfortunately i did not complete for various reasons, when i left rehab i moved back home to Mass to have support from my family and "true friends". I continued with my program and am proud to say that i have been clean and sober coming up on five years now. When i left rehab ipn informed the bon, i had not yet signed contract with ipn. The bon sent me notification that my license would be suspended for 2yrs and that i would have to pay fine, have a MMPI, and 2yrs continuous sobriety in order to apply for reinstatement. I am now thinking about beginning this process. My concern is though I have been clean i have no physical proof. I tried to get into the SARP here in Ma but you had to have a Ma license. I have excellent references here from 2 jobs I've held for the last 4 years, one of which is a non medical homecare for the elderly. They drug test upon hire and reserve the right to randomly test if they have suspicion so i've never been tested since. Any suggestion would be appriciated. Also I'm thinking of applying for cna position but can i work as a cna with a suspended RN license. My thought is this would be a good place to start to get my feet wet and establish myself. So I thank you all for taking the time to read this and offer your thoughts. It helps to know that I'm not alone!!!!!:)
