Ready for this...

Published

I used to visit this forum quite some time ago. I was so bent on having my RN reinstated, it had been revoked in 2003 because of my untreated, out of control ETOHism. The thing is, that as long as that was my only goal, it remained unobtainable. Therefore, I immersed myself in my recovery. I found a sponsor and stayed away from any topic nursing.

I have been continuously sober since October 17th, 2007. On August 19, 2009, the CT BON granted my petition for reinstatement as an RN. I have been told that I will receive the Memorandum of Decision by February 2010 and that after that I can take my refresher, and retake the Boards. I will also be able to ask the OIG to remove me from the exclusion list.

I have so much gratitude for AA and the people who I have grown to love along the way. I have a ton to share, and will be happy to do so as I reacquaint myself in this forum.

I look forward to being a part of the nursing community once again.

Humbly,

theRykster

Thank you. It has been quite the journey. I am somewhat frightened of the course I have to navigate over the next 6 months to a year. I would really like to quit my current job (as a software developer) and get back into the medical field in any capacity. I will not be able to do so however, until I can get matters resolved with the OIG.

Time takes time...
