I know there are several threads on Group one but can someone give me brief overview? If your name is on the list does it ever go away or does it follow you for the rest of your career?

Thank you for your advice. We live in Austin, where the BON is located. I was really considering having her go in to talk to them; however, I never considered the legal aspect behind it all. This situation is too large for us to handle on our own. I pray we make the best decisions. It's so hard to see her feel so lost and afraid. To clarify, I knew there would be legal action taken against her, but I never thought about finding an attorney. I have let my belief in her cloud m judgement. She is my daughter but the to the board she is just a number.

I have made an MD appointment for her. She lives at home so I am aware of her drinking habits. She may have one or two glasses of wine twice a week. I don't think it's a sick liver but we are going to do everything possible to keep her from losing her license. She is going to call the board tomorrow and see what she should from here. I keep telling her to hurry and get another job but she is afraid it will only hurt her situation more. Is it best to wait until after speaking with the board. I am so afraid for her and only want to give her the best advice possible. She worked really hard get her license. I don't want her to lose it.

I am not am not a medical person but I don't understand how she could have had a BAC so high. She was home my midnight and the blood was drawn after noon. We had breakfast together than morning so I am positive she was not drinking prior to going to work. Is it possible for her BAC to be that hight 12 hours later? My last question is do we report to TPAPN or the board? THank everyone for their advice.

We are in Texas. You mentioned that Texas uses other entities. What exactly does that mean?

What happens if a nurse is found with a positive blood alcohol level at work? My daughter went to work after a night of binge drinking and was reported for smelling of alcohol. She agreed to a blood test and it came back well over the legal limit. I want to support her but don't want to give her false hope. What will happen to her license? What should we prepare for?
