You should look at post-grad NP certification. if you already have an MSN I have heard its just 1-2 years

Omy yes. I was desperate for a vacation. I requested an interruption and they wanted to see my itinerary. I was allowed to interrupt. Be AWARE when you return from your trip they WILL test blood, urine and hair!! I wasn't aware of this. and they won't tell you!.

Were you able to find receptors for your NP Program?

You said it sister!! *** them!! Lo

Definitely agree with everyone here. 1. Retain attorney who deals with BON, mine was an. RN MSN with a JD in New England. 2. The attorney set me up with remediation courses from the NCSBN. A voluntary monitoring program. It took months for the board to notify me that I was reported. Months later for them to audit my charting. A whole 2 years later to decide "what to do with me" 3. Best thing my lawyer said was get another job immediately but just not your dream job. If you make a good impression they may keep you when all is said and done. So sorry for you. I know the devastating effect this experience has. I cried for years. I still cry when I think about it. Thank god I made it through and so will you!!

Congratulations on getting through... I just comply my probation in MA and want to to NP school. Of course they want the details, it it dragged up all those shameful feelings. I'm curious what does the future look like for a NP grad with a disciplinary action on their history?

Over the past few months, I have contemplated returning to school. My company supports continued education and offers a generous tuition reimbursement plan. I believe now is the perfect time to grow professionally and make a meaningful impact on my life and the lives of others. I am determined to show that I have learned from my past mistakes and that I am a different nurse today than in 2019. My goal is to demonstrate that while I have made mistakes, I can also learn and grow from them. If I weren't so ashamed of my story, I would use it to teach others how to make better choices and avoid the heartbreak and devastation I went through.

The MA BON has assigned me a 1 year probation for a 2 year old "narcotics violation or other violation of drug statutes," at a previous hospital. My current hospital has decided to keep me on but not in critical care. I am grateful don't get me wrong, but I had hopes of graduate schools and a full career in critical care. Redemption doesn't seem possible now that I see what's public record. Has anyone been able overcome this professionally?

I had applied to Davita last week while I wait for my hospital to make a decision on "what to do with me." I replied earlier tothis post on how brave you are. I received an interview request and went for it thanks to your post! I wrote: "Thanks for your interest in scheduling an interview. I can make myself available, but before we schedule, I want to disclose that my RN license was recently placed on probation for medication administration discrepancies. An event that occurred 2 years ago. I am not in a substance abuse program and do not have any drug related issues, this was a tragic mistake I made while working in Oncology with terminal patients. No direct harm occurred and only practice policies were breached. Since the occurrence my nursing practice has been entirely above board and even advanced into critical care on recommendations of Nursing Leadership and I have been vigilant in redeeming myself. As difficult as this challenge has been for me it has made me a better nurse. I'm blessed to have a number of professional contacts who know my skill set and would unhesitatingly recommend me. Of course I completely understand if you cannot pursue the pre-employment processes with me. I respectfully thank you for your time and consideration." Shockingly she responded with interest and we have a call scheduled. I have heard here that Dialysis is probration friendly. Thank you again for sharing.

Such a relief to hear some positive feedback

My probation just started and is 1 year long.

There is a post in the Recovery forum of someone who shared - they made it through discipline, went on to NP and got prescription authority, the thread title is obvious and easy to find something like “ NP after probation “. Gave me hope for future, GOOD LUCK

So happy for you. Sometimes it’s so sad here, glad there can be light at the end of what seems like the longest tunnel ever. Congrats!

Would you share what program?
