2012murse

Hello, I just joined and was curious to know if I could pick your brains on a topic. I had a reprimand on my license, (happened in Oklahoma), paid the fine and took the courses, I could of fought it but due to attorney/court costs and such I was not able to afford to fight it and as such settled with my attorney for the reprimand. Prior to all of this happening I was interested in going to nurse practioner PhD school, I have 2 years of med surg, and one year of ICU experience, have my ccrn, and your respective acls etc etc, the issue happened in 2014, and was resolved in 2015 of march, I am curious as to how this will this affect my chances to get into NP school? I am not here to portray whether I am guilty/innocent or what have you, but I tried to deal with it the best way I thought I could and after reviewing the allnurses website from other individuals that have had board issues (whatever they may be) I have seen that it has become a black mark on us for those that have gone through it, irrespective of corrections they have made on it to make amends for it, and I am just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and how did you handle it, or deal with it. This issue has affected me such that because of it I have lost my current job because of it even though I told them about it prior to them hiring me and now I am not able to get a job anywhere at a hospital, and no travel agency will touch me and has hindered my employment opportunities quite significantly, even though I am very forthcoming at interviews regarding it so I do not seem like I am trying to hide it. I feel that this board issues will haunt me forever and all the work that I put in to become a nurse and eventually go to NP school will become all for naught. I really do not know what to do and how to approach this, I just would like to move on so I can go back to being a nurse, which I really liked doing, and thought I was good at. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or ideas regarding my issues, and I really appreciate your time on it. thank you ps sorry for the thesis
