*Eight years ago I was going through a manic phase in what turned out to be bipolar that was not yet diagnosed properly. After 12 years of having a stellar record I diverted Neurontin and was fired from my hospital.
Two and a half years later I was asked to surrender my license and did so because I did not realize that I should have consulted an attorney and could have taken a different course of action. That was six and a half years ago. Currently I am on disability for my bipolar disorder and recurrent leukemia. I miss working as a nurse and my bipolar is stable. Is it too late for me to get back into nursing? Where do I start? Would I need to take the nursing boards again?
