I am in WA state and lost my RN license after diverting narcotics and drinking. This happened in 1995. I have since gotten clean and am going through the process of completing the things the nursing board has told me to do to get it reinstated. I am going to start the online RN Refresher course fron Washington State University in Pullman. Is there anyone else who is doing or has done the same thing and would like to talk? I have to do a drug and alcohol evaluation (I've been clean for 12 years) and follow their recommendations and report to the nurse recovery program we have here. I'm really excited but very nervous! I've been out of nursing for a long time, but not out of the medical field. Please email me with any help, comments or encouragement. I would really appreciate it!!!

Thanks again,
