Just looking for some advice...

Nurses Recovery

Published

Hi everyone, I've been a member of this blog for a couple years now. Like many here, I am in a monitoring program. I am approching 2.5 years into my comtract and thinking about asking for modifications in my contract. I would like to ask for the restriction of having direct supervision to be lifted. It would just open a few doors for me regarding work. What are others' experience with this? Do you think it's too soon to ask this to be lifted or should I give a try?

Thanks so much for your time and insight. :)

In my state, several restrictions were lifted once I passed the 3 year mark in a 5 year contract, including direct supervision. I'd be cautious about asking your case manager. It's just not a good look, in general. But, if you are involved in a nurse support group with other people monitored in the same program, they likely can give you much insight into if and when restrictions will start to ease up.

Thanks for your insight...my biggest concern is to be too hasty when asking for modifications to my contract. I had debated waiting to ask this at the 3 year mark as well, which I think I might. I am grateful for my monitoring program and have learned a lot about myself but I think I need to remind myself to be patient and just to take my contract one day at an time. Thanks again :)

Of course- I'm happy to help in any way. I know what you mean about patience, too. Again- if you have a nurse support group- they are your best resource for things of this nature as each monitoring program is different. My group has been invaluable in terms of helping me to navigate issues like you are having and to anticipate things coming up at certain points in my contract. They also helped keep my wanting-to-ask-too-many-questions-too-soon in check. Best of luck to you.

Hi everyone. I am in OIG exclusion list, my RN license reinstated - on probation at present until Oct 2017. Any suggestions where I can apply for a job? Any Employers out there that are not federally funded.
