Serious Issue and Need Help

[allen719]

I was a LPN in the state of Mississippi until 1986 when I went to my Nursing director and admitted to taking narcotics from the hospital and consuming them. I did this in a self destructive act due to a severe emotional issue from childhood which I have been treated for since taht time and remain in treatment for depression. Can anyone give me advice on regaining my license or to return to a nursing training program. I have worked as a EMT ( which I also worked as when a nurse) and went back to school to become a RRT which I did at the top of my class. I live in Colorado with my wife of 17 years ( at the tome of my self destructive event I was going through a divorce of a 5 year marriage , a remarriage to another lady, and then divorce from her all in a 4 month period.) My current wife and mother of our 16 year old daughter I married in 1989 when I had myself together. She is a Criticare Nurse for 19 years. I would like any advice anyone can lend.

Did you give up or surrender your license? Or was there a complaint filed with the state regarding this? You may want to contact your state's recovery or monitoring program. They are the ones that make all of the rules for practice.

Happy to hear your doing better now, don't get discouraged.

Depending on the current status of your liscense most states have a processp by which a suspended or revoked license can be restored. I would contact your state board and start from there!

Peace and namaste
