There won’t be details it will just say in what way you were disciplined, for you it will simply say probation. I don’t even think it has the time frame or year the probation was imposed. You will have to explain all the details, because there won’t ...

Ok so your license doesn’t show that you had disciplinary action taken against it? If it was just a fine I’m confused why your worried about limitations.
aflahe00 replied to The0Walrus's topic in Recovery
You said you have No limitations, weren’t suspended, and license wasn’t revoked. So what was the discipline, probation? Nurses whose license have been disciplined have a permanent “mark” on their license. Employers will see it when they do backround ...

I am in the same situation and I wonder the same. What are my options now that I surrendered my license. Can I obtain licensure in another field?... from what I have read, most likely no. From what I understand anything that doesn't require a license...
The board won’t look at it as “just missing meds and poor documentation” they will think, as any one would, that you have been diverting narcotics and your an addict. Getting them to think otherwise will be very difficult considering the evidence.
Well this is what needs to happen Get a lawyer right away and Know that this will not just go away. You will have to write a letter of explanation to the board as I’m sure you read in your letter. You have one chance and limited time to explain your...
Why are we focusing on blame and not at all on process improvement? I am shocked by some of these responses honestly. I am a nurse I’ve worked in the hospital environment for years and I know it’s not a perfect place. nurses are basically puppets to ...
I just need some input here from anyone who has any information that could help my friend. Basically she surrendered her nursing license, doesnt matter why, but now wants to pursue licensure for diagnostic medial sonography. Does anyone know if havin...
So you have to pay a fine and do some hours of education but then it's done. I'm assuming that's all your punishment was? You have no idea how worse it could be lol.

well its not good to be honest but probably higher than say for the public. Addiction recovery overall isnt good at all but perhaps this is because of the lack of resources available and of coarse the stigma. some people, like me, for example didnt k...
go to your states board of nursing website and read up on what they do. You need to get into monitoring asap you should self report unless you have already been reported by your employer. If and I do mean if you complete monitoring you will not be re...
I think that's necessary in this world we live in these days. We should be able to turn some away I mean come on. This is the result of taking away our ability to say NO. More than half the people seen in the ER are for non emergencies this is not wh...
Uh maybe ask the nurse what he's doing. Ask lol. It's ok to Ask questions. If your that paranoid about it why wouldn't you just ask. The heparin was probably saline and that's what your supposed to do. There are some situations where u would flush wi...
I would excuse them if there was some sort of injury that occurred in gym class or else where that caused significant pain and or swelling. Significant enough that maybe they were unable to put weight on the knee (for example; knee injury) after. Swe...
This made me laugh just a little (hehe) no silly. even if you get hired in somewhere they do nicotine tests it won't matter because you've said you don't use the juice with nicotine.
Assuming your friend is a nurse ? Even if Shen isn't, I would recommend she look into parkdale center located in Chesterton Indiana. It's an inpatient treatment center designed for professionals. People with careers; jobs; have a degree/are educated.
Look. Don't do that. Once you involve the board that's it. You don't want to do that to anyone not even your worst enemy ok. It's not your job to make sure she gets punished she will do that all on her own if she keeps taking risks like that. You ju...
