  1. Nursing and Light Sex Work?

    Lisacar130 replied to Tammy1996's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would absolutely not put that on your resume. Government jobs (corrections, the VA, etc.) are the only ones who might do more digging and could potentially find that out. Otherwise, the private...

  2. Any Psych Mental Health nurses out there?

    Lisacar130 replied to Poofy7's topic in Psychiatric

    I work 11p-7a. We do some quick auditing, usually in peace and quiet. They usually are sleeping where I work by the time I get there. We are not supposed to wake them up at night where I work and if...

  3. Any Psych Mental Health nurses out there?

    Lisacar130 replied to Poofy7's topic in Psychiatric

    Yup, I did 10 years of medical before going into psych. I know 15 patients sounds like a lot to a med/surg nurse, but honestly it is easy. At least it is where I work. I haven't seen a code yet on my...

  4. failed drug test

    Lisacar130 replied to mjrn70's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For the record, I self reported and because of that, I do not have any mark on my license. Self reporting is listed as a requirement to not get probation, which is public. Some states require self...

  5. Call to action! Nurses in Monitoring Programs

    Lisacar130 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If by level 2 and 3 you are talking about people who are already in a monitoring program and continue to use, then it seems fair. But how it was written, it looks like you are talking about the...

  6. Call to action! Nurses in Monitoring Programs

    Lisacar130 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I just wanted to add... that I did self report anyway to the BON and I do 13-16 tests/year, so a little more than once a month. I would be a level 3 under your plan. My restrictions are that I have to...

  7. Call to action! Nurses in Monitoring Programs

    Lisacar130 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is stricter than any program from any state I have heard of, of the ones that have these programs. Your level 1 protocol is stricter than how my state handles what you call level 3's. The 8 drug...

  8. Any Psych Mental Health nurses out there?

    Lisacar130 replied to Poofy7's topic in Psychiatric

    Day shift gets 5-7 pts, nights get up to 15. It's super easy compared to medical. No IV's and everyone's medically cleared before they are are accepted. I have also noticed there is a lot less...

  9. Realizing that Nursing is Not for Me

    Lisacar130 replied to S.Loft's topic in General Nursing

    I would have quit too if I had to work as a CNA before starting nursing school. A lot of nurses would not be able to handle a day in the life of a CNA. Just like a lot of doctors wouldn't be able to...

  10. Consent agreement and completion of stipulations

    Lisacar130 replied to worriednurse91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just call them and ask. I hope it counts but usually these programs are really specific and you have to go to a certain lab and get specific drug tests done. Not all drug tests are the same. Some of...

  11. failed drug test

    Lisacar130 replied to mjrn70's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You should look into self reporting. I don't know how FL works so probably call and ask a lawyer. I think in FL you self report to the IPN. Depending on the state, there is usually a better outcome...

  12. Need advice/ information positive drug screen

  13. Drug diversion and tnpap

    Lisacar130 replied to blue4nurses's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is too late to lie, she has already self reported to the BON. Lying would be a bad move anyway, as i'm sure her former employer has plenty of proof that she did something wrong. All they need is...

  14. Drug diversion and tnpap

    Lisacar130 replied to blue4nurses's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know in my state and in others it is possible to have restrictions for a time and for that to not be public information or posted on the website, as long as you don't get probation. I don't know...

  15. Drug diversion and tnpap

    Lisacar130 replied to blue4nurses's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Try to at least call TNPAP and explain your situation with your kids and see what they say. See if you could get another eval somewhere else for a second opinion. I don't know how you presented...

  16. Drug diversion and tnpap

    Lisacar130 replied to blue4nurses's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The only other thing I can think of is seeing if you can get another eval by someone else, and explain your situation about your kids. They might recommend PHP instead of inpt. Different states handle...

  17. Drug diversion and tnpap

    Lisacar130 replied to blue4nurses's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I hope the following doesn't come across as harsh, I have done the same thing you did and probably worse: You were caught diverting and also self reported. A lawyer CANNOT get you out of this. What...

    Also, no your potential new employer will not know anything if you get the alternative to

  19. Diversion in Illinois

    Lisacar130 replied to cjs123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have a nice email for you but too many details about my situation to post on here. You have to report yourself before your employer does to qualify for that alternative to discipline, so the catch...

  20. Diversion in Illinois

    Lisacar130 replied to cjs123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi, Well... what is your situation or what kind of advise do you need? Have you contacted the Illinois Professionals Health Program? Have you spoken with (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME)? Have you self...

  21. Help my wife got caught diverting

    Lisacar130 replied to got_nurseing73's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Chemical Dependency Peer Assistance Program - Missouri Nurses Association This person looks like they can help to give your wife some advise, specific to your state. I would only work in phlebotomy...

  22. Do all nurses make fatal mistakes?

    Lisacar130 replied to justtryintonurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's usually not what you do, by what you don't do. What if you had done that hourly round on time? What if you had called the doctor sooner when you weren't sure? Vitals were OK at the start of your...

  23. Help my wife got caught diverting

    Lisacar130 replied to got_nurseing73's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OK, see the link below for specifics on Missouri: Board of Nursing (Scroll down) It looks like they don't have any alternative to discipline, so pretty much she will end up with a public...

  24. Help my wife got caught diverting

    Lisacar130 replied to got_nurseing73's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The details mentioned here vary by state so keep that in mind. For example, in IL we only get tested about once a month. We are expected to go to two meetings a week but it could be any 12 step...

  25. Help my wife got caught diverting

    Lisacar130 replied to got_nurseing73's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Jail is extremely unlikely at this point, it is rare for the hospital to press charges but when they do, it's right away like the day you're caught. My lawyer (not a criminal lawyer, but a lawyer that...
