Well the time is almost here I can hardly wait!! I sent the state board my "official request" for the probation status to be removed from my license! It has been a long long 7 years and 4 months (total). I have been compliant and I'm ready to stop pi...

Exactly!! DONE!! :)

Yes, sorry I guess I posted it on another post I had made. I finally received my letter on 7/26/18. The last 2 weeks were hell..... i literally broke down the night before i found out bc going through that for so long was quite overwhelming, to say t...

I have an issue w diluted urine. Try to go as early as possible....(like only your second urine of the day) mine was bc of drinking alot of caffeine (I mean that's all I drink....diet coke). Anyway if I forgot for some reason in the morning to check ...

I surrendered my license instead of having suspension. I was on probation, got in trouble for noncompliance (since I was unable to meet the terms of my agreement r/t my high risk pregnancy). The agreement was 1 year suspension which meant i couldn't ...

Definition of index finger is the finger next to the thumb, the first finger, or forefinger. I've never heard the middle finger referred to as the index finger.

Congratulations!!!

It all makes me crazy too!! Now I'm done with my 3 final years...supposed to be anyway. I had to send in a request to have my probation status removed from my license. A week later I emailed them and asked if they received my letter and what the stat...

I completely understand the frustration. In my state, we didnt have an alternative to discipline when I started over 7 years ago...but they did tell us that if you self report they will be more lenient. So I self reported in 2011 for being addicted ...

Still waiting!! Everyday feels like a year. Have no idea when I will get my letter. I keep checking online like every 5 minutes bc I figure it will change there before I get my letter! Ugh! I'm so impatient! It's kinda driving me mad. (Along w everyo...

So I sent my letter to the board to have my probation status removed this month. Been dealing with them for 7years and 4 months...so ready to be done. I have done exactly everything they have asked me to do! EVERYTHING!!!! So i emailed the person tha...

I'll let you all know next time I hear anything! Still just patiently waiting!! I check the website constantly bc I'm sure it will change from probation to active as soon as it goes through. Then I'll probably get my letter a couple days after that. ...

I check my license online about 70 times per day, waiting for it to change from "probation" to "active!" It feels like this is taking FOREVER!! Why does this state board have to be so dang secretive about EVERYTHING? They never give you any info abou...

Dang!!! That's a good one!! They won't allow me to take my medication prescribed to me by a psychiatrist since I was a kid for ADHD. So for the first couple years i sent in research paperwork on the dangers of nurses with ADHD practicing without prop...

I totally agree. We have to fill out an entire form for every meeting we go to which asks...what was the topic...what applies to you ....and what did u learn... I'm pretty sure they don't read it. I figure all they do is count the number of pages u ...

AWESOME!!! 2-3 months here....I can't count the days.... I don't get to know the day until I get my letter in the mail but i do know the month......JULY 2018!!

Guess it depends on the facility. The PRN's I use are basically used as a fill in for the shifts throughout the month that the full time nurses requested off. Some weeks they may have full time hours and other weeks they do not. I usually ask my prn ...

Thanks!! My biggest problem is the fact that they don't tell us ANYTHING!! so I feel like I never know where I stand..... I won't take a drink or take anything until I get that letter..... I am so ready to get that letter. I think that if I've done ...

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to these posts.... I've been around but never added anything. So here's my story...i live in Arkansas (which by reading many of your stories with the BON, I think this one sucks) anyway... in 2009 I got in a car accident.....

We don't have any option like that in Arkansas. We get whatever the BON tells us to do. Or we can fight it, which from what I've seen, will get you no where or with more than they would have given to start with. When we renew our license one of the ...

I Agree 100% if they are going to report you, they already have and its too late to self report anyway. When the BON contacts you about it, retain the attorney and get all the proof you can about where you got the medicine. Good luck

Congratulations!! So happy for you!!

We don't get the option of entering a program without our license being flagged. I have seen some posts about other states letting you enter programs without it showing on your license. Is that true? Not that it matters for me now it's too late. But...

Thanks everyone. We don't have a case manager here. We are sent a consent agreement with all the instructions at the beginning of our time. We are told no controlled substance even if a Dr prescribes it. (If temporary you can but not longer than 2 we...

I had a friend who recently had to start testing for 3 months to get her license reinstated. The BON waited until she was done w her 3 months of testing and then told her that she had to do her 3 months over bc she had too many diluted tests. This BO...
