I was turned in to the board my license was suspended for a year and then placed on probation without restrictions until May of this year.

I was let go from my nursing position in 2012 for diversion. I am now applying for nursing jobs. What should I put in applications for termination reason? In no way do I want to be deceptive but "taking narcotics for my own use" wouldn't look so great! Any advice would help. Thanks and good luck everyone! Hang in there it does get better:)

Thank you for your reply. I will take your advice. It just gets frustrating. But if you don't apply for anything , nothing will happen:)

I have been an RN for 18 in 2012 my license was suspended for narcotic diversion. I have taken the appropriate steps and in May of this year my license was placed in a probationary status w no restrictions. I still cannot find work. Should I just sweat it out for the remainder of probation (which ends May 2015)? Will it be easier to find employment after my license is fully reinstated?
