Feeling like giving up right now

Similar thing happend to me while on TPAPN for narcotics. I am heavily into weight lifting. I started taking a supplement from GNC called DHEA. I tried the liquid form. Couple of drops under my tongue BID. Guess who got turned into the Tx nursing board and handed a 1yr suspension and a 3yr order. The supplement had alcohol in it. I had no idea. They would not even hear me out.

Now I only eat what I cook. Use alcohol free hand sanitizer and do not take anything without pulling out the microscope.

Once guilty always guilty with the Board!

i don't have a substance abuse problem. but hprp wanted me to sign a monitoring agreement. i refused. after seeing a social worker and not getting an axis I dx she decided to tell hprp that i was mentally ill. and she recommended that i get a complete psy eval. before going back to work. well, i complied but that md recommended that i get a psy/nuero eval done. that cost anywhere from $1800 - $3000. so hprp decided that they would not make me do that eval IF i signed a monitoring agreement. i refused. i am 60 yoa. have no complaints against my license. have been practicing safely for years. and because of that social worker my life is ruined. i was reported to bon as non-compliant. so subsequently my license will be suspended. anyone read the lawsuit the chapman group has filed against lara and hprp? in it it states, "providers who profit from the enrollment of hprp members" some social workers that are hprp cert. are threatened by the director of hprp if they report that a health professional does not qualify for hprp.

i have filed in small claims court a complaint against ulliance and the social worker who slandered me. i was in court yesterday and the judge was baffled by my testimony. ulliance has demanded to move my case from small claim to general civil court. i am scared. anyone gone to general civil court?

I saw the case filed against HPRP and am watching it with interest. It seems as if people are coming out of the woodwork that have been affected by it. The outcome of this case will be interesting in terms of how other states with similar arrangements deal with nurses (and doctors for that matter)...ie out of control and with no oversight.

I don't have experience going to general civil court, but have been down the pike with the BON in another state. My suggestion? Get an attorney pronto, especially if the judge does grant the motion to move it to civil court. Look for a lawyer and firm that has experience in these matters.

Keep in touch here if you wish.

I have been in pnap for 3 years and have abstained from drinking alcohol. I did not let paranoia run my life. I did avoid poppy seeds but i used vanilla extract in baked goods, i ate soy sauce, dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and used hand sanitizer when soap and water wasn't available. I colored my hair, did not change hair products, mouthwash, etc and never had a positve UDS. I maintained my sobriety along with my sanity. Pnap has been a part of my life but it didnt stop me from living life.

I found out I definitely AM an alcoholic and I've been very thankful for the fellowship of AA so I could identify and get better . I'm very grateful to God I've been sober 15+ months. So to have a positive Test turn up was very unnerving. I ultimately gave the situation to God because obsessing about it was driving me to lose all serenity and I should know better. They pulled me for a PEth yesterday so maybe that will calm their minds about whatever they think I've been doing. If it's not God's will for me to go back to nursing then it's not. I'll be sober and alright either way.

I hope the PEth test is negative, It is supposed to be less sensitive then ETG. I don't trust any of these experimental tests. I know I didn't drink or touch alcohol when I had positive etg.
