Get a lawyer that works with healthcare professionals, maybe a nurse lawyer. You really need to protect yourself!

Thank you so much for answering. The problem is I just can't afford a lawyer right now. After I got fired from the hospital where I was working I applied at other local hospitals. I have a job but because ofthe stipulations of being on probation I can't work where I wantedto. Not to mention it has taken 2 months just to get into orientation. I have to travel to make better money to afford a lawyer. If I get a lawyer now and try to fight it I will lose everything. I thought matbe it would be better to surrender my license and travel for now then reapply after a year. I can contnue working in Georgia for as long as it takes but I just want to know if it will affect my Georgia license?

Frankly, you can't afford to not get a lawyer. All of the state license applications I have applied to ask if you have had your license revoked in another state or disciplined. If you lie and get caught...It is worth taking out a loan to defend yourself. Don't think in the moment, think of your future earning potential and career. Most areas have legal aide based on income, sliding scale, look in the yellow pages/google or call a women's crisis center for help. Also, most lawyers don't charge for the initial consultation, or you can work out a payment plan. Call the ANA or local NLN, although my experience with them related to advocacy in a non-legal matter was they are a worthless self-serving organization. Please do not leave yourself with out legal counsel, they will screw you. You have to push back and only a lawyer can do that. best of luck.

if your license gets revoked in one state or suspended they send out letters/emails to other states and they tned to do the same thing.
