  1. COVID-19

    I've been clean for about 12 years now and have been thinking about getting my license reinstated. This is really discouraging. I don't want to risk getting a deadly disease in order to make a living taking care of people with said disease. I s...
  2. MI HPRP frustrations!

    I was in a contract with HPRP. After 5 years of sobriety and a contractor turn-over, they wanted me to go through IOP. I couldn't afford it, so I left nursing. I'm sober and happy. I work at a law firm that defends insurance companies against inj...
  3. One year

    Hats off to you! It is SO hard but so worthwhile.
  4. Help here

    So many people could be saved from this disease if it weren't for the weird way some facilities do wastes. In one hospital, the waste had to be recorded at the Pyxis when the med was taken out even though there wasn't any place to waste it. In anot...
  5. How have your career aspirations changed, if at all?

    I left nursing. I couldn't bring myself to put up with the terms of my monitoring agreement, knowing that getting a job would be next to impossible once I completed it. I work in a law firm now. I make about a third less money but there's very litt...
  6. Does anyone else feel violated?

    You aren't crazy. Your rights are being violated. Many courts have found this to be the case. I think it's only a matter of time until SCOTUS will take it on. In the mean time, it wouldn't hurt to send anonymous letters to the ACLU et al. It may ...
  7. TPAPN and EtG

    They set the cut-offs sufficiently high to prevent false positives. As far as whether they test for etg, are you willing to find out the hard way? Unfair as it may seem now, you either play by the rules or you don't keep your license.
  8. MI nurse looking for HPRP advice

    HPRP is a career killer. There's no silver lining. They aren't there to help. Honestly, I think they exist solely to prevent nurses from being nurses. Do not be honest and do not throw yourself at the mercy of the board. If you can afford an atto...
  9. When I was practicing, I was told that if a nurse fails to report a DUI, s/he may find himself in a great deal of trouble. As DUI is a criminal charge, I would consider consulting an attorney. It's better to be proactive while you still have a lice...
  10. Almost 4 years, no luck finding nursing job, life destroyed?!

    I'm glad you are comforted by caring for dying people. I must be weird like that.
  11. Almost 4 years, no luck finding nursing job, life destroyed?!

    I'm glad that it worked out for you. My first job was in hospite respite care and oncology and I think I suffered something akin to PTSD as a result. I know we're all headed there, and I am grateful that there are people who are able to be supporti...
  12. Almost 4 years, no luck finding nursing job, life destroyed?!

    Sorry that you want a pat on the back. The truth is difficult and ugly.So be kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a great battle. I prefer to fight with my eyes open .Regards.
  13. nurses in recovery continue to suffer at the hands of board

    It is a covered disability if the nurse self reports before being caught being sick. Kind of ironic. You have to report that you have a disease before you've fallen so far down the rabbit hole of addiction that you don't know your arse from a hole ...
  14. Almost 4 years, no luck finding nursing job, life destroyed?!

    Hospice for someone struggling with depression and anxiety? I don't think so.
  15. Relocating with a Monitoring Agreement

    But I should add that I am seriously underemployed! Not a perfect life, but not beholden to some dumbass socialworker with issues. LOL.
