I have recently told my boss I was abusing opiates and entered into treatment and have completed treatment. I have gotten the letter from the board of nursing, and they want a notarized statement from me and the surrounding events. My hospital obviously sent them the complaint as they have that duty and told them I entered treatment on my own and completed. My question really is this. I have been in treatment for an addiction to perks about 2 and a half years before completing nursing school and applying to the board. When I applied I got some very ill information and I did not disclose my addiction. I am more worried about this then the actual discipline from my relapse. I did not divert the drugs, they where all off the street. I am not sure if I should disclose my previous time in rehab or leave it out. I do not know what they do when they investigate. I am not sure if they will ask for the treatment centers medical records where they will be able to read that this was a relapse after 3 years of sobriety. Any advice would help
