What is considered a violation?

What is actually considered a violation of probation?  Anyone ever violated probation with the BON other than drugs or alcohol?  I guess I’m just venting.  I have 2 things that might violate my probation and I’m wondering if I’ll get a warning or if they will kick me out and actually suspend my license.   I have a wasted narc error back in Aug - it was reported on my employer report and I never heard anything from the board.   Then just 2 weeks ago I got fired for excessive cell phone use while on duty and taking a sandwich off a residents tray - however she gave it to me and only wanted her cereal.  I talked with my case manger from the BON and told her everything.  Of course she don’t know what they will decide either.   I was on probation for a year with nothing wrong on my reports - hope they will take that into consideration.

I called a nurse defense lawyer and he said it sounded like since I had a year with good reports that I might only get a letter of concern, but that if I they sent me a hearing date to hire a lawyer and not go alone.   Thanks for listening.

there are many reasons why someone would be placed on probation unfortunately I don't know the logistics and the BON can really do whatever they want.
