I am a grateful recovery lpn located in central illinois. I will have 2yrs clean in August. My license was suspended at one time and I earned it back. I love my life in recovery and I love nursing. I am a single mother of 2. The problem I am running into is getting a permanent job. I have worked for an agency since 2001. They stuck with me through it all and took me back with my recovery. But at this point in my life I want more security. Here in Illinois anyone can look up our license and see what we have done wrong and then they don't want to hire me. It's a tough struggle and I understand a consequence. But it will forever be posted. I now travel up to a 2 hour drive to and from facilities to work, and last week the one I staffed the most found out my license was on probation and I can't go back regardless of my job performance of which they had no problem with. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this problem??
Thank you all for being here!!!!
