IPN Finally got my contract.

I started IPN in March after testing positive for THC. I completed my evaluation and after three weeks, I started a 6 week intensive outpatient program (IOP). During all this time I haven’t been able to work. I graduated IOP a week ago and was contacted by IPN with details of my contract:

- 2 year contract

- Direct supervision

- Maximum of 84 hour pay periods; no floating. No Home health. No Recovery units.
- No narcotic key restriction

- attend a nurse support group, therapy, and a recovery group (AA, NA, etc) of my choice weekly

- submit evaluations quarterly from therapist, supervisor, recovery log

seems like a lot but at this point, IM JUST READY TO GET BACK TO WORK!

    No overtime but if you work a 3-4, that’s allowed. 84 hours max, per pay period.

    How did you get IOP? I need to know what to say in evaluation to avoid inpatient treatment

    @Elisantbtw, I spoke to my case manager and got approved for an extra shift per schedule.

    @messedupbigtimeI was sent to IOP cus I tested positive for marijuana. I used a cleanse wash and tested negative during the hair follicle. I said I wasn’t a frequent user. Honestly I said I used one time and as luck would have it, I was tested shortly after. Passed urine PETH and hair follicle.

    What kind of hair cleanse did you use?

    Also what did you say or what was asked during your evaluation.

    I am currently a student nurse who tested positive for thc even after I detoxed my body. My school wants me to enroll in IPN but I don’t have the money right now and also if I do go through with it I want it to be as low cost as possible. I am almost done with my program

    OP, 

    What cleanse did you use for your hair?

    I am in NC, and I have all of those same stipulations and I think those are pretty common:(

    I have submitted my re-entry/reinstatement packet and waiting to return to a nursing position, and will follow those same restrictions/requirements except my state may be actually a little more strict.

    I'm currently fortunate enough to be working at my same hospital as a tele tech until reinstated. My hospital has been very good to me.

    Best wishes, and hang in there!

    It gets better.
