Started my probation. Need help!

I really need help, its so stressful, i just started my 3 yrs probation due to 2 narcotic wasting errors in my old job. Ca brn applied the first 1-13 restriction conditions on my license and i never did drugs in my life, never had dui, never did any crime in life, never smoked. I told my hospital which is my current job about the restrictions and they sent me to paid leave and told me to resign last week or otherwise they will terminate me and they also put me in a non hireable status which really sucks, Me here now looking for a new job. Are there any nurses whos been in my position who got the first 1-13 conditions? Im from sacramento area, any recommendations that you guys know where i can get a job and where should i apply coz i already got denied by 3 facilities, i really dont know what to do know i felt like ive been treated as a person who is diverting meds at work...

I'm always a amazed that the country most obsessed with giving prescription opiods has some of the strictest policies on opiods, if you're giving them out like candy why be so anal about them?

Such a punitive system.

So does it mean home health care companies can hire nurses with probation restrictions? They did test me one time when they interviewed me but it was negative and they also asked me to attend the rehab and all that but i denied because i never did drugs or became alcoholic in my life even once and i still ended up with a 3 yr probation with 1-13 restrictions on my license. I was forced to resign in my job last week coz they said they cant accommodate the restrictions on my license.

What I was getting at is that you made a mistake. If you really need to make an income to pay your bills and thus avoid being homeless or living in a tent or on the streets, you take what you can get. Beggars cannot afford to be choosers. Whether or not you were guilty is not relevant. In the eyes of the state, you were, so prove yourself through the probationary period and take a drop in your income by taking that home care job. After that, you could return to your former status.

I was wondering if you were able to find a job and how that process was. I am in a similar situation where I just started job searching with my license on probation. I also live in the Sacramento area and if you have any recommendations or of anyone has any advice, that would be a blessing. Thank you and stay safe y'all!!

I just got probation 1-19 and my hospital Is working with me have you tried enloe

Is there any way I could get an update on this? I am almost exactly in the same shoes you were in. Did they require a hair test? Did you just get probation? I have so many questions. Is there any way we could communicate via email? I would really appreciate your feedback. Thank you 

Thank you so much, I have emailed you. I appreciate you guys so much for responding.

Try Acute Psych (The skills you'll learn there are valuable. Also Dialysis both fields are very forgiving and usually no meds for RNs to pass.
