   iloveclay replied to gemini14's topic in Recovery

   Marijuana stays in your system for 14 to 50 days. It would have been nice if you had did your homework before indulging. But it is too late for that. It's in the past. Nothing you can do to change that. It also seems you would be a prime target ...

   iloveclay replied to gemini14's topic in Recovery

   It sounds like you might be familiar with your hospital's policy about drug testing etc. It might be helpful to revisit those policies. If indeed the test comes back positive, I imagine, they will report you to the BON. But I emphasize, you need t...

    iloveclay posted a topic in Recovery

    I'll try and keep this short and sweet. Back in 1986, I was fired from my job as an RN for diverting. I subsequently had my nursing license suspended for 6 mos and 1 day in Feb 1989. I applied for reinstatement in May 1990 but was denied. I then...
