1. Is it normal to not hear back from the BON in over 24 months?

   bboy45 replied to Nosnce's topic in Recovery

   But you're saying the board had already contacted you and did the investigation right? So, they already know the details and chose not to do anything for almost 2 years. I would think they are either severely incompetent at their jobs or they didn'...

2. Is it normal to not hear back from the BON in over 24 months?

   bboy45 replied to Nosnce's topic in Recovery

   I don't want to give you false hope, but I would think you're fine. The Board is supposed to intervene and protect the public from "dangerous" (I'm using their words, not mine) nurses. If they had any evidence that you were remotely unsafe to pract...

3. Florida IPN and Kratom

   bboy45 replied to Polman87's topic in Recovery

   Please do not do that to yourself. They absolutely test for Kratom. Why don't you do it the correct way and see a pain medicine doctor who can provide documentation to monitoring that you do in fact have pain and perhaps monitoring might be willing...

4. Malpractice Insurance for Nurses on Probation

   bboy45 replied to blackpear1981-MSN's topic in Recovery

   I am in monitoring, and I have NSO insurance! You just pay a bit higher of a premium since you're in monitoring, I think like 50 dollars more. It's only 150/yr and the peace of mind you get knowing you're protected is amazing. It also covers up to...

5. Vault (FSS) Drug Screen List?

   bboy45 replied to california_rn's topic in Recovery

   Not judging you at all because I was very curious about what they were testing me for, but the truth is, you won't find out and they will never tell you. They use proprietary panels that they will only release with a court order. Just assume you're...

6. Kava while testing for affinity

   bboy45 replied to Keke2123's topic in Recovery

   Just sharing my experience. I definitely drank the Yogi tea with Kava in it during my time in monitoring, but I was always careful about when I did it because like you, I was terrified of any false positive. So, I would drink a cup on a Friday nigh...

   No I am working in Dialysis. I could work in hospital at this point, but no real desire. I am in the South on the East Coast. Would prefer not to reveal exact state.

8. + TPAPN Experience

   bboy45 replied to LUNA-NURSE's topic in Recovery

   I would ask your case manager about the testing but I usually get around 3 a month here in my state. If you get one on a day you have to work, don’t know what to say other than you have to go to a patient first or med express something like that and...

9. Trapped

   bboy45 replied to Rnjobnpa's topic in Recovery

   I’m confused what the F means?

10. reported to board

    bboy45 replied to bridget044's topic in Recovery

    I am doing dialysis now. I think it is the easiest job to get when you’re in monitoring and they don’t have narcotics so for me, it was nice to be in an environment where I didn’t have to be around them until I got healthy. It also pays well too. ...

11. reported to board

    bboy45 replied to bridget044's topic in Recovery

    Hello, Myself and 3 other people who I have met so far in this journey all did the same thing you did. We are all happily working as nurses again. Unfortunately, we are in the monitoring program, but things are going well and I even just got a...

12. Tnpap and drinking

    bboy45 replied to sam2brooke's topic in Recovery

    If she truly had 1/2 shot of rum she will probably be fine.

13. Tnpap and drinking

    bboy45 replied to sam2brooke's topic in Recovery

    You'll be fine. Don't worry. Lesson learned.

14. CA Testing Frequency

    bboy45 replied to RNCaliK's topic in Recovery

    That sounds excessive. Maybe it will calm down once you have been back to work for a couple of weeks. I am in VA, but they will often ramp up testing around holidays, vacations, significant events. Even still, I have never had more than 2 tests a ...

15. Now that I've completed my contract, what's next?

    bboy45 replied to Sivraj's topic in Recovery

    I have been curious about this myself! I will be in the same position as you once I complete my contract. One suggestion is to shell out some money for a lawyer who works with professional licenses/the monitoring program in that state and get their...
