   VARNhosp88 posted a topic in Recovery

   Me and my family are relocating to TN and I need to apply for a TN nursing license. Although my home state of VA is a compact state, I have a valid only license even though I’ve been done with monitoring for 6 months. Should I just apply for licen...

2. Compact reinstatement VA

   VARNhosp88 posted a topic in Recovery

   I’m an RN in VA that completed the HPMP program in January of this year. My license is still saying valid in VA only. Question - how do I get my compact license reinstated? I assumed that it would automatically go back once I completed everything but...

   Are you in VA?

4. Blood Test

   VARNhosp88 replied to VARNhosp88's topic in Recovery

   I had a hair test my first year after a dilute and i remember it being quite costly! Not to mention, the bald spot! I am thinking the blood test is a Peth. I had a false positive for ETG approximately 2 months ago. I had an untreated UTI that caused ...

5. Blood Test

   Been in monitoring for 4 years now and just got slapped with my first blood test! A whopping $110! Is this common in the last year? Should I be saving back some extra cash for these more expensive tests?

6. End of monitoring

   VARNhosp88 posted a topic in Recovery

   So I have roughly a year left in HPMP. Just wanted some input on what happens during your last year. Does testing increased? Do I need to start put back some extra moolah to cover extra tests? I'm starting to see a dim light at the end of the tunnel,...

   I had a dilute ONE time and it was followed by a hair test. Needless to say, I took the necessary precautions to make sure I didn't have to go through that again. Now it's flipped... YOU CANT WIN!

8. HPMP

   VARNhosp88 replied to VARNhosp88's topic in Recovery

   UPDATE!!!! So my case manager called this morning and said that the MRO said I probably had a UTI that caused the false positive for "Etg" (after a week, I finally know what I even popped a positive for) - so no repercussions, no issues and it's ALL ...

9. HPMP

   Thanks for the support! Still don't know anything other than I tested positive. You wouldn't happen to have an "not-so-friendly-belittling" case manager like me would you? 99% of the time she makes me feel like an idiot! I'm just so frustrated right ...

    My CM told me on Tuesday that I had tested positive but she has YET to tell me what for. I have emailed her a few times and she said, "I will call you once I know something." - which is so weird. I'm thinking she may be waiting on my split test to co...

    Are these public groups or? How can you get in to it?

    Is there any recovery pages on Facebook solely for medical professionals? I'm assuming it's private, so I would need an invite to join! If anyone knows of one, please contact me! Thanks! :)

    I appreciate it. No idea what is even going on. I find it surprising that I don't even know the substance I'm being accused of testing positive for. Hopefully I'll have answers soon.

14. HPMP

    VARNhosp88 posted a topic in Recovery

    So I'm in VA HPMP and have been for almost 4 years. My CM called me yesterday and told me that I had tested positive on a screen. CM asked if I had taken anything or ingested any foods or drinks. I answered no, because I haven't. I asked what I suppo...
