6 months here. I hope u enjoy your trip to Disney and they leave u and your pee alone. My tests are also funny. I’ll get 3 in a week then none for a long time. No telling. All we can do is stay clean and count the days. Good luck!!!

Hey guys have y’all ever known a nurse to get suspension as discipline for a first offense? If the Bon suspends me after 3 1/2 years then they are crazy! I will know oct 8 . I’m even ok with probation , my boss is understanding and is going to keep me on board as an infection control nurse as long as I’m not suspended . I don’t have to even worry about narc keys

I don’t think you get suspended for a first offense on monitoring here. However, they do make folks repeat rehab sometimes and essentially that is a suspension plus they make u start over

gotcha. Surely I won’t have to repeat rehab, heck nov will be 4 years. I don’t know how any rehab could justify treating me, and I know insurance wouldn’t pay if I’m clean .

What happened

I went to rehab in November 2015 for drug and alcohol abuse. I diverted discontinued meds from home health patients. I self reported in feb 2016. I didn’t finish inpatient but finished an intensive outpatient a few months afterwards. Been clean a long time and have been working a nurse since with no action on my license. Now the Bon gets in touch with me almost 4 years later

Well you are just starting and you did complete a rehab so I would hope that with your clean time they would let you keep working but these folks can be money grubbing and nonsensical

True. I will def be glad when Oct 8 gets here! Lol
