| freedom in surrender I was living in fear and anger for a few weeks after finding out that I was going to have to disclose my criminal record to the BON and risk not getting the RN after working so hard. But I got tired of living with fear and anger and I started praying for acceptance. I reached out for help, by making phone calls. through the program I found other nurses that I could talk to. It's funny that when I admit that I am powerless I get all the help I need. I can honestly say that whether I get my RN or not I will live happily knowing that I am honest, open minded and willing to accept life as it comes. I can only continue to keep my side of the street clean and honesty is one of the ways I do that. As soon as I heard fingerprints and livescan I knew I was going to have to pull out the expunged records, well they ask for me to anyway, but... thats when I got scared and angry ![]() My happiness cannot depend on the circumstances in my life because there will always be something... I know true happiness is surrendering the illusion of control and accepting life good or bad and having faith that my higher power will provide the right path for me. Today I can accept whatever path or pattern the goddess lays down for me. I am accepting. It feels light and free ![]() I sound like a dork, but hey these moments don't come everyday, although they do come closer together when I do the work ![]() I love myself today, which makes me available for myself and others. ramble, ramble ![]() thanks for reading and writing, this site has been a great help!! |

| Senior Member | Re: freedom in surrender hey gratefulcat, I don't think you are a dork at all, and I admire your courage to face your fear and anger and do the right thing by being honest. As someone who is paralyzed and controlled by fear I can understand how hard that must have been. I hope the BON can see how much you have grown and changed since making your past mistakes and grant you your license. Have you written a letter to the board explaining the ways you have done that..I know in the state of Maine that can be very helpful. Good Luck lp |
