RN license

[Scarlet70]

Does anyone one know if one needs their license back in the future, is it easier to get it back from a disciplinary or surrendered status? Right now I’m in a non healthcare occupation and am happy. However you never know. My discipline would be reporting to duty no patient care performed but positive for alcohol. 
thx

I’m not sure of your state, however, I surrendered instead of taking the probation and when the time came to get my license back, not only was I required to do the probation and that entails, I also had to enroll in refresher courses (more money)!

If you plan to keep your license, get it over with and take the probation.

Good luck and we are all here for you!
