School Nurse with Consent Order?

greetings all,

i just entered a la board consent order and have been devastated throughout the process! i tested (+) for thc on a pre-employment drug screen, and it has been downhill ever since! i have been unemployed for 2 months now and have been unsuccessful at securing another job. like many of you have stated, most nursing jobs require an "unrestricted" license and mines come with several restrictions (1) random drug tests, (2) no etoh/controlled substances, and (3) supervision by nursing staff.

i haven't seen many posts from nurses in la, but if you're out there, please chime in! i did have two great job offers (school nurse and clinical liaison), but the consent requires me to be monitored by another nurse. neither job has nursing supervisors, only direct supervision by superintendent’s or business administrators.

i was ecstatic to receive both offers, but recalling the consents' stipulations, i can't seem to move forward! :crying2: are there any nurses working in a school or business setting without supervision of another nurse? if so, how do i attain this or even any job!!?? your response would be greatly appreciated!
