What can I do if license is suspended or revoked by BON?

Published

Currently I am under investigation by my BON for two stupid mistakes. One is abandonment because I left the job due to feeling the physically unsafe the other I don't want to go into detail but is a unique and complicated issue. My concern is that in June when in goes before the BON my license will be suspended or revoked for 12 months. There is a chance I will only get probabation. I have been an RN for 16 years with no history of any other discipiline with the BON or state or federal law prior to this.

What can I do for a job if I can't be an RN for 12 months? Would I be able to work in the health care field at all or is that out of the question? Like could I work as a CNA? I can't afford to be jobless for 12 months. Any suggestions for jobs would be appreciated. I have a surgical and home health background. Thanks.
