1. Hand Sanitizer

   zoeintx replied to ConcordGrape77's topic in Recovery

   DO NOT take chances. Years ago I came up with a + result from hand sanitizer after using it for a 12 months +. I know that's what it was cuz I absolutely was not consuming alcohol any other way. They said they believed me cuz the level was so low but...

2. Finally able to practice nursing. Jobs???

   zoeintx replied to Psickal09's topic in Recovery

   When I was in the program I worked with a LVN with 30+ years experience and a RN. When the RN left they hired a RN with approximately 8 months nursing experience. Well guess who had to find a new job. The powers that be felt like the LVN with decades...

   TRUST ME...nothing is destroyed. Your history will be accessible in a keystroke. I know from experience. Don't make the same mistake again and stay outta trouble! Congratulations and best of luck.

4. Fed up!!

   zoeintx replied to Siciliyisbest's topic in Recovery

   I'm sorry you have to go through this hell. I have been free for over 2 years and went through, more than once, what you are going through. DO NOT use alcohol based hand sanitizer or put ANYTHING into your body unless you know exactly what you are co...

   Good luck to you!

6. Take job in dialysis or OR?

   zoeintx replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in Urology

   I would go where the work is...dialysis! I have been a nurse for 26 years, 16 in dialysis. If you look for job opportunities you will see lots of dialysis positions with sign on bonuses. I work in a chronic outpatient clinic and can honestly say our ...

7. HR wants meeting or report me to BON

   zoeintx replied to AbbeyR's topic in Recovery

   The investigation could take years. I have been through this more than once. The difference being that I was guilty. My attorney, who was also a RN, gave me the best advice while being investigated and that was to sign up with a monitoring program t...

8. ETOH based hand sanitizer

   zoeintx replied to RN2364's topic in Recovery

   Don't use it. Buy alcohol free sanitizer. I had an "incidental exposure". That is what TPAPN called it when the level was so low and they called my supervisor to see if I had been under the influence of alcohol at work or if I had been using the han...

9. I am livid!

   zoeintx replied to zoeintx's topic in Recovery

   I requested my vacation through Recovery Trek and it was DENIED. I called the BNE and was told they no longer approve out of the country requests. They approved my last two Cancun trips so I don't know WTF is going on. Guess they gotta give one last ...

    My goddaughter is getting married at a Caribbean resort in the near future. I am so excited for her future and more excited she asked me to be her matron of honor but guess who has ruined our plans. You guessed it...the BNE! I am no longer allowed t...

11. Seeking TX license reinstatement

    zoeintx replied to RootRN's topic in Recovery

    My license was suspended for a year and I successfully petitioned for reinstatement. The year I was off I completed everything that was required to be reinstated and kept records of everything. I am now less than six weeks shy of completing my three...

12. Recovery Trek is not perfect

    zoeintx posted a topic in Recovery

    I am 4 months shy of my membership expiring with the TxBON!!!! The worst part of it has been dealing with my case manager, DB. This troll is rude and nasty. When I am forced to call her sorry ass she sounds so annoyed and irritated to be bothered w...

13. Bad messed up

    zoeintx replied to pcbeachbum's topic in Recovery

    The board will find out and most likely offer a peer assistance program. Go with that, do exactly what they say and stay clean. In Texas, if you successfully complete the program, you will not be reported to the board.

14. Disclosing former substance abuse for licensure.

    zoeintx replied to MFf2017's topic in Recovery

    Absolutely not! It is none of their business just as their past is none of your business. You will be persecuted, crucified and hung on the cross. Nurses are to be immune from "character flaws".

15. My coworker was high and got away with it

    zoeintx replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    Mind your own freaking business! Who do you think you are? Go to work, do your job and leave. You saw something on his phone and you assumed the worst. You are a perfect example of what is wrong in nursing. Nurses turning on nurses. You have no clu...
