You didn't mention what city/state your taking it at.

Yes the union rep said they do work with nurses on probation. I haven't started it yet. I feel so degraded as this incident happened outside of my work place yet will be affecting my work life so much. As well as my money. Thx for the positive words :)

And yes the board I'd offering me probation for 3 years.

Thank you for your advise. I have always had excellent reviews at my work. It's just hard to not know what's going to happen at this point. Even though its 2 duis they are 12 years apart which doesn't make things look any better. And for what I'm already going through with the courts-this is definitely a situation that will never happen again. I was just looking to see if anyone has ever been in a similar situation. Thanks again!

See this isn't what my question was. I'm not hiding anything. I've told the boards. I've also told HR and my union rep. Who I haven't told was my manager. My license isn't suspended or going to be but there is a chance I will be put on probation. My question was if anyone has been employed and put on probation while employed in CA? And no I do not have to do a diversion program. Im just curious if employers work with employees already employed there with their probation conditions. Thanks!

I appreciate your feedback but to directly label me when you don't know the situation is not what I'm here for. I'm looking for information from anyone who has been in a similar situation. My main question is finding out if a nurses employer was willing to work with then after they were put in probation in CA. Any advise regarding this would be appreciated!

Try and sit down and tell him how you feel? Maybe that's just how he is. But let him know your place and that you appreciate his help but in the future you would appreciate him working with you and not making it seem like he has the authority to question your every move. Hope it all works out :)

I was convicted of a DUI 12 years ago and got a 2nd one this year. Although the court system dismisses the first DUI after 10 years, the boards do not. They are threatening probation. I hired a licensing attorney to help me. I met with the head of HR and my union rep together and they said I did not need to disclose this to my manager unless there were restrictions on my license. I know this looks terrible, but I do not have a problem with alcohol, and rarely drink. I want to tell my manager but I don't want to be labeled. I know I will have to tell her soon. But my question, which I have been looking for answers for months, is-if I get put on probation, will I be terminated? Will my employer work with my restrictions? All they would have to do on their part is fill out a one page quarterly repot pretty much reviewing my performance and evaluating me. I work in a very large hospital that strives to be the best in healthcare. I have worked there over 6 years. Always get good yearly evals and have no attendance issues or any leoblems at all. I know I'm a great nurse and an asset to my unit. If anyone has any experience with this or any advise, I would really appreciate it. I'm driving myself crazy not knowing what's going to happen with my job. Thank you!

I've worked nights for over 6 years. I agree with what was posted about the nap before first shift and also I only sleep about 4 hours on my next day off that way I can sleep with the rest of the house. Not all of us that work nights are night people. It will get better, and you will find what works for you. Good luck!
