Hello all, I finally got my agreement and the big packet of paper. I will have two years of monitoring for drugs, nowhere does it say anything about alcohol other than if they deem me to need a...
I wonder, although from my understanding Ohio ran their own program. They are overwhelmed like all of the other boards and just dropped it. No chance anymore of anonymity which is very sad to me. I...
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I will have public discipline on my license. If I comply with the two year agreement i will not have any restrictions so it will be unencumbered but the public record of my...
Thank you, its good to know its actually real and an option. They took THREE years to get to me. I am honestly at this point, am not looking forward to working as nurse at all but want to clear my...
I was asked to do a drug test for work and admitted to having thc in my system. I was fired three years ago and just now got my agreement. I will have drug testing for two years for that reason, the...
THIS is exactly why I am terrified to sign. I just got my consent agreement after three years and am scared to even start I got lucky and is two years and appears to have no alcohol testing (just...
I don't know if i feel relief, grief, or just a little sick. Its better than I thought and probably better than i deserve. 2 years, testing obviously, 6 month narc restrictions, no home health/or...
I have, my next concern is that I don't want to quit my current non-nursing job. I love it and the people. I also know that many nurses offers are pulled after they are made and I am worried about...

I am in Ohio, have been waiting for my "sentencing" since 2014. SELF REPORT! They will find out and it will be worse for you if you wait. I had heard they got rid of their alternative program (where...
I wonder this as well. I have found a non nursing position and am terrified of that list. The company I work for runs checks for employees names with the OIG and its an automatic termination if you...

I would also have loves support.. I was talked about and dropped like a bad habit. no pun intended... I deserved it but it was still so painful. i felt so alone, scared, and ashamed and folks I had...
By the time I get my contract it will be at least three years since my firing/diversion. I have inactivated my license and am not working as a nurse. I stole a lot of drugs and am pretty sure my...
Hello all, Here I am waiting for my contract as a result from my fall from grace two years ago still but trying to plan for the future. Our little ones are going to be 4 and 8 and we are looking into...
Thank you! I have no idea when my contract will come down, the board is at least 2.5 years behind for those of us that have gone inactive. I want to find a way to live normally and rise above this,...
tarab333 I will be getting a contract from the bon eventually and was hoping you could send the me counselor/social workers information. I worry about finding someone as I have heard the ohio bon is a...

atmosphere, Your last post spoke to me. I still struggle with the guilt and shame and question why I did what I did every single day. You eloquently put into words how I feel. Addiction took control...
Fired over a year ago for diversion, I immediately inactivated my license and got a lawyer. I do not use now and am very very thankful for that. The waiting kills me. I don't know if the county is...
Interested to hear what others say. From my research all i could get was "it would be very difficult." My dream was to get to an NP and I feel as though its all for naught. I was one class away and...
I found a posting for a 'clinical liaison" position that required "three years medical sales/patient interaction and BS or BA" with a very vague job description. I applied and had an interview the...
Ocean pacific, The thought has crossed my mind. Nursing was a cutthroat profession where I turned into someone/something that I hated. I have no idea if I would really ever want to get back into it...
This is what I fear, this job is a great starting point into something new but still using knowledge gained from school. I am disheartened at the thought of divulging this to an employer when it does...
Interested to hear the responses to this. I am newish to all of this, have not had them deliver my discipline/have no idea if the county will come after me. I was three classes away from FNP.. 4.0....
