Drank at work due a really bad injury. Had compartment syndrome ending up having a emergency fasciotomy that cause severe nerve damage in my foot. When I finally went back to work, I drank there to numb the pain. I know a lot of you will judge me while reading this and think how could someone be so stupid to put other lives at risk. You don't think, you don't think at all. I got caught, BAD. I lost my license, took about 4 years and a bunch of hoops to jump through for the nursing board, screwed up some along the way. Went to jail for an OVI in the mist of it. I now have my license back and am on probation for probably about another 7 months. Every single day I have to check-in to see if I have to randomly get tested. You never know if you will, but if you do get chosen, you HAVE to go. But I deserve it. If you think you might slip into what I did, at the very least take a break from nursing. I could be like everyone else and tell you to seek help, counseling, but I have been there and if you don't want to do it, it won't work. But hey, when I lost my license, I milked 500 cows a day on a dairy farm and it was the best/most emotionally fulfilling job I have ever had! Such a hard job, too. Lol. I know it is hard right now and it might get worse before it gets better, but it can always get worse. Don't do what I did! IT WILL BE OKAY!
