Congrats and thank you for the input my friend. I do have one question. Who passes your narcs?

I have restrictions on my license. I've made some poor choices in the past leading me to my current situation. . I take full accountibility for my actions. Ive learned and grown from this experience and I am ready to get back into my profession that I love. With that being said, I have come to the conclusion that it comes down to luck in landing a nursing job with restrictions. I have been clean and sober for 21 months. I am in the Alternative program and doing everything I am asked to do but I still coming up short. I was reinstated in Dec. of 2012. It has been a very humbling and challenging experience for me to say the least. I am grateful for my recovery and will continue to work on it for the rest of my life. I wish there was a nursing support group in my area. I would love to share my experience, strength, and hope with others who are in the NCBON recovery program. I find it very hard to find people who are going through what I am going through. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one but I know that is not true.I reside in Watauga county, NC and the only support groups are NA or AA. These programs are great but I would like to share with people who are in my profession and going through what I am going through. So if there is anyone out there going through what I am going through, I would love to chat with you. Sincerely, mountaintop12

I live in NC and I am in the AP. I have restrictions and I have found it very difficult to obtain employment. I have had many interviews and all have went pretty well under the circumstances. The employers said they would hire me if it wasnt for your restrictions. Obtaining employment is the crux of the program for sure which Im sure many are aware . I remain positive and continue to work my recovery. I am thankful for a second chance. I just want to continue to progress and put this difficult period in my life behind me. I am wanting to network with other nurses in recovery who live in NC so if any one out there would like to do so that would be grreeeeeaaat. Peace and erase the hate or something like that.
