Place OIG into your search engine, home page, exclusions, online search database, enter your last name,first name. You will not have legal problems but the OIG could bring this up. The hospital will probably self report and your name may be on the fo...

debsinark I would try to find any original paperwork. Also look yourself up in the OIG list to see if you are eligible to be reinstated. This is done by YEARS(ie the minimum is 5 years and possibly 10 years is the longest) not whether or not you have...

To liamsmom, Please try to retrieve the original order. To trust someone at a BON could be hurtful to you since each case could be different. You need to start now, because they will make you jump thru hoops. So knowing exactly what you will face is ...

To BigsurKay, Sorry you have these problems. You really should obtain the services of an administrative lawyer if you have the money . If you can access prior BON meeting see if there are any names of lawyers that constantly are defending nurses. Tal...

I am posting this as a cautionary tale. I was on this blog a year ago while filing the paperwork to remove my name from the OIG exclusion list. Just so you know it took me an entire ten(10) weeks to receive a positive answer and most of the form was ...

Hopefully this will help everyone. It appears that every state in every healthcare profession is tightening the rules significantly. The state of Florida has a new terrible law on the books that is effective in 2009 forward. Try looking at the effect...

Hire an attorney. I am assuming that your application is perfect, many people try to not be truthful then their application is auto denied due to falsification. Every state is different. In florida they are very tough. Give it your best shot with an ...

I so agree. Also find a lawyer who goes in front of state boards often. You do not want a real estate lawyer in this situation. Check prior board meetings or call your state monitoring group for a name.

You should ask for the time off from testing and give them a airline ticket or proof you went. A month is a long time and they may ask for testing, if you are inside the US, if possible.

Personally I believe you should always expunge anything you possibly can. Just a good idea.For my state(FL) renewal the questions are asked about criminal FELONIES after 2009. It took two years for the health dept to figure out how to implement the n...

Start a written diary now. You need to know the exact method of dispensing. Is it thru a code word,number or biometric with a finger. Know the exact procedure for crediting back drugs which are not dispensed. Is it credited back on the floor or in th...

i cannot say absolutely yes to the question. i can say that a fiscal impact statement was rendered with a favorable action by the commitee staff. you should read this also. i would find it hard to believe anything would change. i am also alarmed that...

to all, the state of florida just amended effective 7/1/2011 the horrible law written effective 7/1/09. this is written in 2 parts initial licensure and exam and renewals they "loosened" the ridiculous 15 year rule for a felony. [color=#0e774a]e-lo...

The Florida law is effective for convictions after July 2009. You should not have a problem taking the exam in Florida. Please let us know what happens. You should not have a problem. Good luck

Let's all realize that the new regulation is for a Felony after July 2009. A law cannot be retroactive, this would be like lowering the speed limit on a road then sending out speeding tickets. There must be a start date. The questions are askon the a...
