1. Longest you’ve gone without having to give pee?

   stickybun posted a topic in Recovery

   I've tested once since my contract went into effect and it's been three weeks since I've had to screen. This can't be normal.

2. Meetings

   stickybun replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Recovery

   Probably could log and leave. I thought about that as well and then wondered if there was some kind of way they could track how long you were actually there.

3. Meetings

   stickybun replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Recovery

   I'm required to attend two a week in addition to my nurse support group, after care and therapy. That's five obligations/meetings a week. We use affinity/spectrum and have to log in at the meeting. GPS logs your location. Sometimes I get something o...

4. GI lab?

   stickybun replied to stickybun's topic in Recovery

   Thanks! I've got 6 months, too. I applied to a GI lab job today.

5. GI lab?

   stickybun posted a topic in Recovery

   I don't have any experience or know any nurses who have worked in a GI lab. Is this an area a nurse with narcotic restrictions could work in?

   Flexiril and zofran aren't allowed in my state unless an addictionologist sees you and okays it.

7. Weight loss supplements

   stickybun replied to stickybun's topic in Recovery

   Absolutely! I have a perianal abscess. Right now. Mofo HURTS. I've been trying to manage it myself here at home. Lancing, sitz baths, and a round of oral antibiotics that I was put on for an inguinal abscess. Inguinal is nearly gone, other one still ...

8. Weight loss supplements

   stickybun replied to stickybun's topic in Recovery

   My gynecologist has me on birth control pills to manage my adenomyosis. I had to have that med verified. Ridiculous to have to do so for hormonal meds. I also do not have a dentist. I've been blessed with good teeth and it's to my advantage because I...

   stickybun replied to stickybun's topic in Recovery

   Bah. I only need to lose 5-10 pounds. I'll just keep to calorie counting.

10. Weight loss supplements

    Are there any safe weight loss supplements for those of us being monitored out there? I feel like I just need a kickstart.

11. TNPAP

    stickybun replied to TamiRoberts's topic in Recovery

    I'm a TNPAP participant. What I'm going to tell you will save you a lot of stress, time, and money. Don't do the evaluation. Go ahead and admit yourself inpatient to an approved rehab facility. An evaluator is going to cost you $400-900. It will slow...

12. Likelihood of vinaigrette causing false positive?

    stickybun posted a topic in Recovery

    My monitoring agreement was just activated yesterday. I've read through the handbook and am well aware of what foods to avoid to prevent a false positive. Last night was my first weekly nurse support meeting. My husband called right before it started...

13. is it hard to get a job after two years off of nursing?

    stickybun replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Recovery

    Curious...do the programs you guys are/were in not require you to work in the field of nursing for a predetermined number of consecutive months before they will let you out of your monitoring contract?

14. What to say?

    stickybun replied to RN0599's topic in Recovery

    If you feel that way just tell them you had a personal matter. Personally I feel like it doesn't do people any good to keep quiet on these issues but I respect people's wishes to remain private. It is a personal choice. Typically when you say somethi...

15. Managing screens and work

    stickybun replied to stickybun's topic in Recovery

    For some crazy reason I had it in my head that we weren't allowed to work nights but I looked back at the agreement and it isn't listed as a no-no. So that could be the answer for me.
