![]() i feel like i am being punished for becoming a nurse. i regret it more than anything in my life and would take it back in a heartbeat if i could. i made a bad decision one night, that i normally wouldn't do. I can see where this can help a person with an actual substance-addiction problem, but i don't feel like i fall into this category. it is very depressing to me that i have to do this for another 11 months. the meetings aren't so bad, very nice people.but some days i feel like i am being treated like a drug addict. i have tried a couple other non-benzo drugs.they just give me nasty side effects. i have a panic disorder and have been on a very low dose of xanax.which i am no longer able to take after signing this agreement. i've had to change my wedding date for next year, i couldn't imagine having to take a urine test on my wedding day, and putting a vacation request in for a honeymoon. i just finished 1 month of a year of monitoring, doing the urine tests and meetings, and i am a complete mess. there was no explaining, she already had her mind made up.įast forward to now. my heart fell as i tried to explain that i do not drink and drive at all, or even get into a car with someone that drinks. the reply she gave me was "you blew your car up?.and you still drink?" i can still picture her face as she said this. i told them about my accident, and when she asked me if i still drink i said once in awhile.in more detail 2-3 beers about twice a month. The day i met with the board i was completely honest about everything, and now part of me wishes i wouldn't have been. i have never been in trouble with the law before this incident. i have never had any problems at work.i've never been late, i get along with all of my coworkers and director.i love what i do. when i applied for my rn license i was fully aware that i would have to disclose this dui, and possibly have some sort of monitoring put in place. i completed the 6 months of probation, alcohol classes and probationary drivers license with no problems. i jumped right back into school and work within 2 weeks. i am very lucky that i lived, and more importantly, very grateful that i didn't kill or hurt anyone else. when i first started nursing school i was in a car accident one night, that resulted in a dui. I am a new nurse as of july, and i have been working on the same floor at a hospital for 2 years (started as a cna).
