1. How is this fair?

   exnursie replied to PhoenixTech's topic in Criminal

   instead of setting boundaries and limits to what you will accept for answers, i suggest being open to what people are trying to say to you and leaving your attitude at the door. i have read too many stories where nurses are denied work based on the p...

2. Social Worker Wants Me In an Impaired Nurse Program--I am NOT Impaired

   exnursie replied to Mezcalero's topic in Recovery

   Regardless of what you choose to think as far as the disease concept and addiction, anyone who wants to stop using has to really want to stop using in order to succeed. This fact is one of the only commonalities among all the many methods available ...

3. new to forum seeking advice

   exnursie replied to lapatsox's topic in Recovery

   I would contact the state BON and specifically ask what is needed to show sobriety. I suspect there is no concrete answer and would gather whatever you can to support your recovery, including meeting attendance, letters from sponsor, employers, pasto...

4. What is your opinion/knowledge base on recovery programs?

   exnursie replied to Magsulfate's topic in Recovery

   It is obvious that you don't see addiction as a disease and instead see it as a personal weakness, which is your right and I respect your right to have this opinion, but disagree with it I also really question where your facts come from, as far as th...

5. Is it possible to seal criminal charges from your nursing license?

   exnursie replied to lm8539's topic in Criminal

   No, it is not possible, and to seek legal advice would be a waste of money and time. FYI, any criminal record is also something that the BON wants to know of, regardless of expungement, or final result, and they have access to all records including e...

8. My doctor prescribed Midrin for chronic H/A and Migraines

   exnursie replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Recovery

   I apreciate your open mindedness here, and will be the first to acknowledge the misconstrued way that people view commments when in the written manner. Let me clarify something here, I personally have no objection to this issue, and know several peop...

9. IPN affecting other professional licenses.

   exnursie replied to GymNurse's topic in Recovery

   I would not risk my license just to work as a nurse, and you will lose it when they find out. They have ability to see any government site, like IRS, and HHS ( social security). ALso, you could have legal charges for falsifying your license status fr...

11. My doctor prescribed Midrin for chronic H/A and Migraines

    exnursie replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Recovery

    Not to be insulting here, but I found this easly when googled, and I would not advise taking this,. I can guarentee that if you that no doctor with addiction experience would have prescribed this to you. Being an MD holds no safety for recovery, and ...

    I think that FL recently began a monitoring program that is for nurses who test positive but don't fit into the addict definition. they are monitord and tested for 1 yr and must stay drug free. There are several states with this monitoring, and used ...

13. Am I hireable?

    exnursie replied to KayteRN's topic in Criminal

    Kayte, Keep the faith... as others said, there is a recession and this includes nursing jobs, and many new grads are also not working. I suggest looking at non hospital jobs, and try nursing homes, dialysis, public health, doctor offices, and prison...

    exnursie replied to Magsulfate's topic in Recovery

    I admire your attitude and again, hope that this ends up well for you. I am sorry for being such a bulldog and in looking back, did not need to respond as I did. I left nursing for a long list of reasons, but to sum it up, nursing was not healthy f...
