Hi, guys! I'm looking for any and all advice. My story is long but I'll give the short version. several years ago I was convicted of 2class D felonies, fraudulent attempt to obtain a controlled substance. I was a nurse practitioner, had went through a rough time in my life where my fiance tragically died, and I subsequently dealt with the pain by numbing myself with opiates. I became an addict and was caught forging scripts. My Missouri nursing license was revoked. I have since been clean 5 years and desperately want to practice again. Does anyone have any experience getting their license back after revocation? Is that even a possibility with the class d felony? I would do anything to be able to practice again and hate living with this regret. Since that time I've felt as though I'm only existing, not living. Nursing is what I love and miss. Thanks in advance.
Eric
