Hello, I am an RN who recently completed my 3 year contract with my state's BON. It was a confidential, non-disciplinary, informal consent that required regular attendance at 12-step meetings, random...
Nope! After I checked off the boxes stating that I’d been in an alternative program, they sent me an email asking for supporting documents. The only snafu was some of my documents didn’t have...
