Down to single digits....

...and still haven’t tested since August. What were your last couple of months like? I feel sure they’ll test me at least once more before it all ends, but they don’t have long. I’m antsy because I want to be DONE on my date and not held up waiting on results.

Thank you! It’s sooooo close. I kinda knew what to expect with my old case manager but she left a year ago. I’ve never even really talked to the new cm but she seems more strict. I can’t wait to be able to file all my paperwork away and not look at it again. I’d love a beautiful fall bonfire, but the hoarder in me may not let that happen.

Oh I’m not burning all my stuff. It doesn’t get that much reverence. It’s simply going out in the trash with the rest of the garbage

The last time I packed up my entire house to move (once again because I had to relocate for work, although this time around it was a good thing. I went to an employer that sees this garbage for what it is and is under no illusion that it helps most people in anyway)...I actually dumped the majority of the paper that I had accumulated over the years. Copies of ridiculous ‘evaluations’ that were filled with lies and twisted language to justify their abuse, printouts of negative P test results because those people could not be trusted, copies of all correspondence including phone calls replete with notes....all got dumped in the trash. At this point I was inside of 5 months left and had stood my ground on some of the more recent BS. I made it very clear that if they tried anything beyond just letting me go, on the date that was on the contract, they’d be speaking to my lawyer.

Hauling all that out to the curb was very freeing mentally. I felt like I dropped 20 pounds.

My last test was several weeks prior to the end date and I had harassed the CM to tell me what documents I needed to provide to make it happen on August 22. Having wrenched that info out of her (I also knew from the boilerplate letter that another person got that was a few weeks ahead of me.) I had all the little letters and such so they could check all the boxes.

On August 23, I got a call from the CM telling me that I was done...it was very terse and short and sweet. Fine by me...thank you and go (insert naughty phrase of your choice here.) Very anticlimactic and just plain over.
I had the same CM for the whole time and It was mostly an adversarial relationship. She was a rude, condescending individual that could not be trusted to not lie. (People that lie is one of my biggest pet peeves). I’m am glad to be done and out of that shitshow from hell.

Did they make you wait on test results to “officially” be done. I had never considered that until someone mentioned it here. I know I’m clean, but I don’t want to wait one more day beyond the contract date.

This is here say. Someone I know who knows someone knew of a nurse positive for the last test. Results came in after marbling out. A new complaint kicked in and a new mandatory program started for this nurse. Brought that nurse back in with a complaint generated by the BRN. I believe it. But, of course, couldn't corroborate that story. Ask your support group leader, they might know of a case.

@KatmamaRN My last test was 20 days ago. I’ve been holding my breath, praying, keeping my fingers crossed, etc. that I wouldn’t have a last minute test! My Case Manger has told me that my last day would be 10/22 unless I was selected. If so, I would have to continue in the program (& checking in daily) until it resulted. Luckily, no test today & I was discharged!

I started to respond to you yesterday- but was afraid I’d jinx myself, LOL! I’m not superstitious about many things but sure didn’t want to tempt fate!

Best of luck! You’re just about there!
