  1. What state is your school
  2. Leaving Nursing/RAMP consequences

    Obviously, you are free to do what you wish and what is best for you, but I feel like you should give it a bit more time before deciding to leave nursing altogether. These programs are notorious for...
  3. Tax write off while in monitoring ?

    You can write them off but for me, the standard deduction ended up being more anyway so it didn't make a
  4. California early termination of probation

    I recently applied for early term. Was going to use my lawyer but ultimately did not. I can email you a copy of my completed form if you would like. What is your email
  5. ipn

    I'm wondering why they didn't explain to you that alcohol is considered a substance. That should have been very clear and apparent. I'm sorry you're going through that stress. It is a terrible...
  6. California early termination of probation

    It sounds to me like they're just being cautious. There is nothing anywhere that says you cannot sit for the NP boards after COMPLETING BRN probation. If anything, that should be seen as an...
  7. California Nurses

    They are very similar. Diversion is more recovery based and requires more intense recovery stuff..... like more AA meetings, meeting with leadership from the program routinely, more likely to have...
  8. California Nurses

    Did anyone ever email you? I would ask in your
  9. BRN Ordered Probation

    Have you asked anyone in your Nurse Support
  10. California Nurses

    Yes. But I imagine if iit is something extreme, they may notify you to "cease practice" while investigating. I have not heard of that actually happening,
  11. California Nurses

    Yeah, they don't seem to care if you've been convicted of something or not. They essentially want to cover themselves if there's any indication that you're unsafe to practice, and if they believe you...
  12. California Nurses

    They are located in Sacramento, where the CA BRN is also located. Cost varies depending on what you need done. A lot of people will recommend not getting a lawyer because of it not making much of a...
  13. California Nurses

    RN Guardian is great. I love my lawyer,
  14. California early termination of probation

    I have recently been hired to work as a RN Case Manager for Hospice Home Health. The BRN approved it. Supervisiom includes daily in person check ins at the start of shift, supervisor accompanying me...
  15. California Nurses

    If you are denying drug abuse or having an issue with drugs/alcohol, they may not let you do/offer you diversion, just FYI. It is meant for nurses who will/have admitted they have a problem and need...
  16. California Nurses

    This is under condition #8 of Probation guidelines. You can find them
  17. California Nurses

    I've heard from my lawyer that it is best to be forthcoming. A colleague of mine is using the same lawyer and they are contacting the BRN (after receipt of Diversion offer). But you are correct in...
  18. California Nurses

    Yep. Mine was a completely personal issue. Had nothing to do with nursing. I would continue with what you're doing (travel nursing) until you find out more info. Once you figure out what your options...
  19. California Nurses

    Yep.
  20. California Nurses

    I know someone who went through Diversion and successfully completed it. He did a non-Nursing job while he wasn't allowed to work as a nurse. I will ask him if he minds me providing his contact
  21. California Nurses

    @Hnh1993 You need to talk to your lawyer about that. I know for me, it was too late, but I did not retain my lawyer until I received the Accusation. I was naive and thought that since nothing was...
  22. California Nurses

    @R000N, @Hnh1993 Same thing happened to me. My issue (10/2019) occurred outside of work and wasn't even a conviction. Never went to court. It was a bogus arrest that never made it past the arresting...
  23. Travel

    In theory, yes. Once you're done with the discipline, you're done. You won't be restricted so you will be able to be hired by agency. Not entirely sure how the logistics would work, though, for...
  24. California Nurses

    Diversion will be informed of the allegations because they would be reported to the board by the employer. You cannot hide the med diversion. Unless it is deemed that you did not actually divert meds....
  25. California Nurses

    This is very true. Good point. My lawyer actually just told me about this happening to a client because they didn't/wouldn't admit that they have a "problem." Good thing to keep in mind. Diversion may...
