3. I self reported and about to do cando

   RN2364 replied to JxoRN's topic in Recovery

   It's a 3 year program! I am about 1/2 way thru. It's been a struggle but it has gone fairly quick. I wanted to travel also. Seems my life has been put on hold.

4. I self reported and about to do cando

   RN2364 replied to JxoRN's topic in Recovery

   I have been in the CANDO program about 1.5 years. There are a ton of hoops to jump thru but it's doable! The best places for jobs are Iasis. They are CANDO friendly. Banner not so much. It I know nurses in the program that do work at Banner. Keep yo...

   So why a 5 year program? I thought Arizona was 3.... Did you get a hospital job right away? What hospitals are CANDO friendly? Are there some places that are more inclined to hire a nurse in CANDO then others?? Any information that would be help...

7. Former classmate

   RN2364 replied to applesxoranges's topic in Recovery

   I agree. I am sure he needs a friend right now. Someone who has maybe been in a similar situation as him. Someone to give him words of encouragement vs judgement. Someone to listen.... IDK if you are in a recovery program as well but if you are I a...

   Arizona also lets you use controlled substances while in the CANDO program as long you have the correct documentation and a new Rx each month from your physician.

9. Legalized Marijuana/ Medical Marijuana

   RN2364 posted a topic in Recovery

   Anyone out there familiar with the BON's stance on marijuana now that it is legal in many states? I pretty much assume that any nurse in recovery would have to stay away from it as it's a mind altering substance. How about the nurse not in recovery?...

10. "Fixin' to die"

    RN2364 replied to ktwlpn's topic in Headlines

    That boy WAS "fixing to die"! What she did was make a lie saving decision. Your judging her seems ignorant to me. It's seems ignorant and I am appalled you took an uplifting story of a very intelligent RN who made the RIGHT decision and turned it in...

11. Why the double standard.

    RN2364 replied to RN2364's topic in Men

    The double standard I am really referring to is that it's seems quite ok for a male RN to have me do procedures they feel uncomfortable doing. I get the with this sue happy society protecting yourself and your license. When it comes to returning the ...

12. Certified addict nurse able to report nurse patient?

    RN2364 replied to Daisy321's topic in Recovery

    I work in an inept detox facility and treat nurses, physicians,and dentists on a daily basis. I never report on any of them but I do recommend they self report. From what I have seen the BON etc is easier to deal with if you self report ...

13. drug screen

    RN2364 replied to PCORRAL's topic in Recovery

    Depending on what tests are done you can get a variety of results. If it's just a quick sample not done thru a lab you most likely will get a positive for opiates. Some breakdown a littl farther and you can identify Hydrocodobe. If it's sent to a lab...
