I failed the N-Alex after three tries. I got depressed after such hard work and let it go. It's been 10 years and I deeply wish to go back.

My sister is a RN. I heard her say she had to "take off orders". What does that mean?

My name is Lisa and I am facing drug charges for cocaine use and am currently going to court. Will I lose my RN license? How will this affect my nursing career?  Does anyone have any advice?
