Thanks for your advice ehooper. My employers said that it's been reported to the PD and depending on the value of the amount diverted it would be classified as a misdemeanor or a felony. I have no Idea in which side ir would fall. Would they use a retail value or what the hospital pays? I don't know. Keeping my license wont mean anything if I have a felony and jail time on my record.

Well I just had my meeting with my manager and director. I was terminated and told that I face possible felony charges of Theft. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? I would assume whether or not my nrsg license gets reinstated if I have a felony on my record any nursing job is basically out the door. Are my assumptions correct.

Thankyou for your replies. And Hugs it's nice to see an employer who is willing to work with someone. My middle management is all pulling for me and hope to see me back but i'm worried that it won't be left up to them. Just nice to see that out of all the bad stories around that there is one that goes against the grain and shows that there are employer out there that understand and support rather then just cut ties.

I'm just starting through the process of self reporting. I've been a very esteemed member of my work group among coworkers and management. Everyone one i've talked to has said that their "rooting" for me. A;; the people who know are shocked and the other half still don't want to believe it. I love my job and haven't been officialy terminated yet. Wondering if there has been any stories or experiences of anyone who has been able to keep there job while going through the recovery program. If not what kind of percentages there r out there for a nurse in a recovery program to find a job. And once done with the recovery program what are the chances of finding a job.

I've taken the first step and did self reporting. Next is the KANDO program. Any words of advice about the beginnings of this stage and about programs like this or this in particular. My hopes are up. I can finally stop living a lie. But the road i know will be rocky. I hope I can keep my Hope up.
