1. Seeking guidance..

   Twoyearnurse replied to MSRN3488's topic in Recovery

   It depends on the state. I was evaluated by an addictions counselor and never saw an MD or Psychiatrist whatsoever. My BON accepted my treatment and their recommendations as was. Maybe some folks from your state can chyme in and give you more specif...

2. Thinking about NP school

   Twoyearnurse replied to Nursebry91's topic in Recovery

   Most schools require that you have an “unencumbered” license. If you do land in a program that doesn’t require this, you will have to face the challenge of finding clinical sites who are willing to provide access and oversight of your practice with t...

3. Seeking guidance..

   Twoyearnurse replied to MSRN3488's topic in Recovery

   My experience with my board was that they followed the recommendation from the evaluator. I was evaluated and assessed to only require outpatient treatment and my board honored this. The guidance they gave you was good, get it over with now. This wa...

4. Seeking guidance..

   Twoyearnurse replied to MSRN3488's topic in Recovery

   I am in Alaska. I worked in an area outside of nursing. I looked for jobs that had the requirement of “four year degree in human services or related field” and figures, hey! Nursing is totally a related field. I worked in prevention for two years th...

5. Seeking guidance..

   Twoyearnurse replied to MSRN3488's topic in Recovery

   Heya, we don’t have a monitoring program in my state (ever) and are monitored directly through our BON. Often the disciplinary programs afford the nurse going through them a clear license at the end with no visible record of having been involved to ...

6. Are we limited on this?

   Twoyearnurse replied to Jammer52's topic in Recovery

   Heya! These are good questions and while I don't have direct experience in this... I'd take a guess that you would need to clear teaching ACLS with your monitoring program. From your description it sounds like you'd be technically teaching folks unde...

7. Too young to get license back?!

   Twoyearnurse replied to Rdsrn's topic in Recovery

   Oh, my apologies, I should have quoted what I was replying to. I have one year left in my monitoring agreement, sober for 5 years

8. Too young to get license back?!

   Twoyearnurse replied to Rdsrn's topic in Recovery

   My state doesn't have an alternative program so I am monitored through my board. It took them 12 months to contact me

9. Too young to get license back?!

   Twoyearnurse replied to Rdsrn's topic in Recovery

   Hi you! 27? Only working for 2 years as a nurse? Diverting? You are *exactly* where I was 4 years ago (I've got one year of monitoring left). The board cleared me to work after 6 months, I opted to wait almost 2 years before I felt really ready to ge...

10. A Recovery Poll, Sort Of

    Twoyearnurse replied to TNPAPnurse's topic in Recovery

    I intend to see how I feel when I am done with my monitoring. I have genuinely built relationships in AA with people who I look up and admire. I mean, good grilled cheesus, some of those folks have 30 years sobriety and have done incredible things w...

11. I Need the Hassle of Monitoring

    Twoyearnurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in Recovery

    I share in the sentiment that my monitoring agreement helps me. We don't have an alternative to discipline program in my state so it all goes through the BON. My agreement doesn't even try to pretend that it is for my interest that it exists. It exi...

12. How much will your employer know?

    Twoyearnurse replied to StanleyJ's topic in Recovery

    In my state I had to give all findings to anyone supervising me. I think it depends entirely on the program

13. Fingers crossed

    Wishing you the very best on this most fitting Independence Day!

14. Still no job

    Twoyearnurse replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Recovery

    I second the psych nursing! So much fun!
