Welcome to our new Nurses & Recovery support forum

Nurses Recovery

Published

The Staff at allnurses.com wish to welcome all members who may wish to use and benefit from this new forum.

If you have not done so, please read the forum description found at the top of the forum page for it will be followed very closely to ensure a safe and warm environment for our members wishing to abstain.

If you are struggling with smoking and need to vent and/or to obtain some support, you found the place. Are you overeating, overexercising, overdrinking, etc.? The key words here are "over doing it" and maybe feeling out of control.

No one here, including the Staff, can ever profess being an expert in the realm of addictive behaviors. However, Staff and members do wish the very best for each other and will support those desiring improvements in their healths.

Ooops, didn't mean to hit send ye. Where I left of..

SO CAN YOU!!!

Not sure if you are doing this, but do NOT tell anyone about your stipulations until you meet face to face with the nurse that will be hiring you. Any chance of working where you were working agency for? They already know you, and your work ethic. Network, Network, Network! Do you go to meetings? Ask EVERYONE you know. You may find a friend's neighbor who knows so in so, at the hospital. Get your foot in the door. Get that face to face. Hold your head up. You have THREE years of sobriety. That right there PROVES you are worth a chance. Some of us had only weeks of clean time. Dialysis and rehab, are usually "recovery friendly" places.

You can do this. Yeah, I won't lie to you, it can be hard. But it CAN be done.

Good luck and keep us posted!!
