Repeat Monitoring Agreement

Published

Hello all. I completed a recovery monitoring agreement as an LPN in Indiana. When I applied for a RN license, Indiana granted me a RN license. I recently relocated to Nevada. When I applied for Endorsement RN in Nevada they offered me a probationary license and a two year recovery monitoring agreement. I completed the program without incident in Indiana in 2011. I have not relapsed or had any incidents (personal or criminal) since. Has anyone else had to repeat a recovery monitoring agreement without incident? or after moving to a new state? Am I wrong to assume that if I can safely practice in Indiana that I can also safely practice in Nevada? Also, the idea is that the program move you to recovery and you stay there. Is there a reason the Nevada BON assumes their program will be more beneficial than the Indiana program? Should I be disciplined again for simply relocating? (this will be reported to NURSYS and published as part of my permanent nursing record) I consulted with a Nurse Attorney who says the Nevada BON has no case and I should receive a license without discipline or monitoring of course it will cost me $3000 for her to tell the BON the same thing on my behalf. Any advice, suggestions, or simply sharing of experience is appreciated.

Jack any input?

On ours, it doesn't either....with the monitoring contract. For example, I was found unconscious at work under the influence. I surrendered my license and entered into their monitoring agreement. 5 years on contract, following the stipulations and I successfully was granted a full license back with my "offense" gone. If you look me up in NurSys or my board's website, it will say no discipline against my license. If I hadn't turned myself in, I would have been given the probationary contract and it stays on my license forever. Or if I had screwed up while on contract, I would have been switched to the probationary contract and again, it would be on there forever in big, bold red letters "YES" under the discipline section of my records.

I think that's how it is here too. :)
