   And by the way..."giving up the license" does not stop the process....the criminal justice system will continue in pursuing charges, the state board will still report to national data banks and your resume, despite years of a spotless record, will be...

   Railroad, I'm glad you didn't cave to their "offers". It's only after admitting to something they didn't do, that a person realizes the catastrophic mistake they may have made. First of all, don't discuss this situation with ANYONE other than an att...

   In theory, that's a great idea. However, in the state of Ohio, all of the casemanagers are in recovery, via the 12 steps themselves. And, they believe it's the "only way". There is no compromising with the Board. It has been attempted and has not...

   Say what??? You're talking sideways here. "It is a right, it isn't a right, it is a right"....well, you're wrong. A property right is a property right according to the US Constitution, regardless of what the property is. And a professional licens...

   I agree with you. Unfortunately, many nurses--and the public in general, have no clue as to federal rulings, case law, Constitutional Rights, etc because they've not been in a position to HAVE to understand them. And when we ARE in that position--w...

   Hmmm, interesting. Why was it a "judgement" call, you ask? It was not a personal judgement call, it was a professional judgement call. They are NOT qualified to provide the mental health therapy that they do as sponsors. And anyone that says they...

    How do you know it "works so well for so many people". What statistical studies are you gaining this information from? Propaganda? As for making this argument a way out of participation in a program, "being in denial" or "rationalization"..all I ...

    Couple of things here: Yes, it is religious and has been ruled via Federal Courts as such. As for "optional"...what is your definition of "option"? My definition is exactly as it is.."option"..the option to maintain sobriety in whatever fashion wo...

    Lemonhead replied to mystc42's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, so what about another comment that RN30Years brought up...what about the nurse that is NOT an addict--takes her hubby's Vicodin for a headache and tests postive on, say, a pre employment screen..because..if that nurse cannot produce a valid, pe...

    Lemonhead replied to mystc42's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, agreeing to disagree is what it's all about..however....sometimes a person has to take it one step beyond agreeing to disagree when ignorance and a lack of understanding is blatant. A nurse violating trust? Hmmm. And no second chances? Pretty...
