1. I hate being in a monitoring program

   Erin1984 replied to dancinginthedark's topic in Recovery

   Yes some nurses have substance abuse problems and need help. I agree. I don't think these monitoring programs are the answer though. This program has left me with nothing but anxiety and PTSD...

2. CA Diversion Program Changes

   Erin1984 replied to C Rizzle's topic in Recovery

   Yeah it's completely ridiculous. I'm so bummed out about it. I've had a counter on my phone for the last over 3 years and now when I get out is suspended indefinitely. Keep in mind I've been 100% compliant during this time

3. CA Diversion Program Changes

   Erin1984 replied to C Rizzle's topic in Recovery

   Yep. I'm one of the unfortunate nurse affected by this change. Was supposed to be done in April

4. Privatization of Monitoring Programs: Profit Driven Motives

   Erin1984 replied to Quickstepper's topic in Recovery

   The things that these monitoring programs get away with is staggering to me. I entered the diversion program in California (not by choice) thinking it was going to help me but all it has done has given me PTSD and so much resentment it's unreal. This...

5. fresenius dialysis and misdemeanor

   Erin1984 replied to nurse.etc's topic in Recovery

   My program lets pcts work under my license. I guess it depends on your restrictions though. you will find a job! Keep the faith. I know a lot of people that had difficulty finding a job in the beginning but eventually did. Probation is difficul...

6. fresenius dialysis and misdemeanor

   Erin1984 replied to nurse.etc's topic in Recovery

   Do you have Davita in Alabama? It's a dialysis company. That's where I work and they are very probation/monitoring friendly

7. Positive UDS but not diverting-anyone able to have the BON be in their favor?

   Erin1984 replied to NurseMarplay's topic in Recovery

   I'm assuming you were taking something not prescribed to you? Honestly the nursing board will probably look at it in the same way as if you were diverting. Get a lawyer, don't talk to anyone. Protect yourself asap

8. I hate being in a monitoring program

   Erin1984 replied to dancinginthedark's topic in Recovery

   Thank you. I was so devestated and upset for weeks about it. My family doesn't understand why I was so upset about the extension. they just don't get it. That's why I'm so grateful for this forum. It makes me feel not so alone and everyone understand...

9. I hate being in a monitoring program

   Erin1984 replied to dancinginthedark's topic in Recovery

   The 6 months of passing narcotics is something they just came up with. There was no grandfathering in people that literally only had days left in the program. They won't even consider letting anyone out of the program that don't have that 6 months. I...

10. Privatization of Monitoring Programs: Profit Driven Motives

    Erin1984 replied to Quickstepper's topic in Recovery

    People have been saying this for years and nothing seems to ever change. It's insane how much power these people and organizations have.

11. Getting a job while on Probation

    Erin1984 replied to Jnurse2008's topic in Recovery

    I don't know about Alabama as I'm in California but SNF's and dialysis are very recovery program/probation friendly out here.

12. I hate being in a monitoring program

    Erin1984 replied to dancinginthedark's topic in Recovery

    I've been in California's monitoring program since December 2020. I was supposed to be done in April and have been working in dialysis for 2 years. In January I got a call from my case manager saying the California BRN that in order to 'graduate' fro...

13. CA BRN investigation

    Erin1984 replied to nurseinca california's topic in Recovery

    Unfortunately the answer to your question is yes, the majority get put on probation. I am shocked at some of the stories of the people I've met through nurse support group that were put on probation. I am in California diversion. Your best bet is to ...

14. I hate being in a monitoring program

    Erin1984 replied to dancinginthedark's topic in Recovery

    You are not alone. I hate monitoring too. Everyone I know in monitoring/probation that I've met from nurse support group hates it too. It's definitely given me severe anxiety and I count the days until I am finished. I just do what I have to do to fi...

15. California diversion

    Erin1984 posted a topic in Recovery

    Anyone else about to finish California's diversion program and they sprung on you the requirement of passing narcotics before you can finish? My program is being extended and I have to find a new job because of the corrupt California BRN. Just trying...
