HI to all! I am so glad to find this board, I found it kind of comforting that it is so active. I want to start by saying I love NURSING! I have many times refered to it as my spiritual gift, which makes it so much harder that I am in this position. I have already done the intake forms for IPN in Florida, from what I am reading I am in for a long haul, and an expensive one. I am divorced, mom of 2 boys, I have a mortgage, car payment, debt and no longer have an income. Luckily, my Ex was able to get the boys on his insurance, but after this month I will no longer be covered. Looks like my retirement will take a beating.... I am not ready to go into the details, but I take full responsibilty for my actions. I did what I was accused of. I never even tried to deny. I escalated because I knew the only way I was going to stop was to get caught. I have had so many co-workers and friends give me support. I have to say I feel like I can totally overcome this. A couple of questions for Florida peeps. DO I need to self-report to BON? I was under the impression that calling IPN would take care of that, but I want to be absolutly sure. Also, being told not to practice is understandable, but I need a job. Did anyone else find themselves in this posisiton? And where did you work? I know that it is early in the process, but I feel strong. I am a task oriented person, and I am ready to have a plan! thanks in advance for reading and responding!
