Should I give up my career as an RN

Published

I was working at a nursing home and my license was suspended. My employer reported me to the board of nursing because they were concerned about my mental health and they fired me after I attempted suicide by jumping off a bridge. I was hospitalized for weeks and I'm in good shape now to resume working in the career. I have undergone psychological evaluation that states I can safely practice as a nurse. My license was suspended on the basis that my behavior demonstrated a manifest incapacity or incompetence to practice nursing. I had my license reinstated with stipulations so I am on probation with the board of nursing for the next year. I am wondering if should worry about my chances of getting nursing jobs in the future since this will be on my license even after my probationary period ends assuming I meet the conditions
