   chaotic replied to SassyErRn's topic in Recovery

   I am hoping things work out for you the way they are supposed to! I can relate to not wanting to go back to 12 hr shifts that early in the morning...yuck. But, I got to the point where I am willing to do anything to get a chance to build back trust. ...

   chaotic posted a topic in Recovery

   Well, after months of searching and being turned down, I think I may have a good chance of being hired at a LTC facility. I really hope and pray this is it. I have been rejected more times in the past 6 months than I care to think about. I have even ...

   Eleven years ago, when I was active in my meth addiction my mom turned me in and had me arrested twice. I was and still am grateful to this day for her doing that because I know she was genuinely concerned. This now is a totally different situation.....

   chaotic replied to sarah76wallace's topic in Recovery

   Hi Sarah! I was in the same boat before I got my license. I have a felony from 11 years ago related to drug use. I finished school and got my license 2 years ago. I basically had to explain to the BON what I did and what I had done to change. I hones...

   chaotic posted a topic in Recovery

   I got a non-nursing temporary clerical job. It is the best I can do right now. No place seems to be hiring around here at this time that can deal with my narc restrictions. It is better than nothing right now, at least I'll have an income through the...

   chaotic replied to sl33y's topic in Recovery

   Well, so far sl33y I have not had any legal action taken against me. I was called into the BON but fortunately for me, they dismissed the complaint because I had already referred myself to their monitoring program and was in treatment. I had also wri...

    I also wanted to add that this "friend" that turned me in was trying to push clonopin and muscle relaxers on me AFTER this happened to try to help me relax and encouraging me to go on shoplifting sprees with her. She told me that she was illegally ob...

    chaotic replied to chaotic's topic in Recovery

    Ok, sounds like I need to clarify some things..... This "friend" that I am talking about is NOT a nurse, or any type of healthcare professional for that matter. In fact, she got fired from a state job last year for violating confidentiality. This "fr...

    Update...... Met with the hosp. again on Tuesday. I told them I was considering staying employed there. Well, I guess that one of the stipulations of me staying employed there is that they will contact law enforcement. If I resign, they say their in...
