   Self report.

   Messed up

   SororAKS replied to Tlynn17's topic in Recovery

   Call your caseworker and be honest about what you did. That will be much better than them finding positive test results and having to ask you. Honestly assess what happened, get back to a program, and work it one day at a time. What's done is done. T...

   New to IPN

   SororAKS replied to Invincible summer's topic in Recovery

   I'd both self report and retain an attorney experienced in dealing with the Board of Nursing. I'll be the first to agree with you on some of the rules and requirements, but it is better if you just do what you need to get through it. No it isn't fair...

   Bad messed up

   SororAKS replied to pcbeachbum's topic in Recovery

   I would get a lawyer, even a public defender, for your criminal case. See if you can retain a different lawyer with experience dealing with the Board. If you self report to the program in your state, the possibilities of keeping your license are ther...

   Caught diverting methadone.

   SororAKS replied to Nursemel05's topic in Recovery

   Get a lawyer pronto, one that has experience dealing with the FL Board of Nursing and IPN. Lawyer up, do not admit to anything. Talk with your doctor, get an evaluation, and start attending meetings if you honestly believe you have issues. Only you w...

   Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

   SororAKS replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

   This incident disgusted me. I've never seen police have such disrespect for medical professionals. She advocated for her patient and followed policy, most police officers I've worked with are very respectful and come equipped with a search warrant. I...

   Unfair, unfair, unfair

   SororAKS replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Recovery

   What I do agree with here is the need for lobbying one's representatives and speaking out. Unfortunately as a profession we have not done this nearly enough, and that factor has contributed in the out of control behavior of some Boards of Nursing. Wh...

    An Eclectic Recovery Thread

    SororAKS replied to Davey Do's topic in Recovery

    Thanks for posting this. I go through these spells on occasion. One thing that helps me is the knowledge that it will pass, and in the meantime, I just try to keep up some daily practice of meditation and occasionally yoga. I also journal, writing ou...

    Need some encouragement/advice

    SororAKS replied to willow14's topic in Recovery

    I'd quit the second job. Our stress responses were masked with active addiction, and when we stop using our emotions aren't masked anymore. One thing I've learned throughout all this is to pay attention to what is going on inside myself. If you feel ...

    Ohio Board, Kentucky Board

    SororAKS replied to tarab333's topic in Recovery

    You might try calling KY BON and ask them. In my experience, most Boards of Nursing are hesitant to issue a license unless Probation is completed in the previous state.

    Throwing in the towel, and feeling liberated

    SororAKS replied to gnurse2089's topic in Recovery

    I have mixed feelings as I read this. I am glad that you listened to your heart and that you realize you have options other than nursing. A perceived lack of options keeps some people stuck. On the other hand, I am saddened that there is yet one more...
