  1. board meeting

    Lisacar130 replied to ericninetwo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm from a different state but can't you just call them and ask your question? If that's pretty much the only reason you want to go I would try calling them first to ask your

  2. Conflict Resolution Advice?

    Lisacar130 replied to Iker's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like a nice person and sometimes you can only do so much to be nice to others and ultimately it is their problem if they don't like you. Sometimes new grads are treated a little worse by...

  3. Need Help!! Positive pre-employment drug screen

    Lisacar130 replied to stur's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Worst case senecio is you end up on probation. My advise is to get a recovery friendly job now while you have a clean license. The most recovery friendly job out there is dialysis, they work with...

  5. Unsafe doctor...do I report it?

    Lisacar130 replied to Munimula's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You can report this surgeon, but you are also reporting yourself for going along with it. And every other nurse who also went along with it. If you felt it was unsafe, you should have refused or...

  6. Has anyone worked til their case with the BON came up?

    Lisacar130 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The best idea is to work in dialysis while waiting. In case you get probation, they are the employer most likely to work with you. Plus, no narcs in case you're restricted. And it looks good to the...

    Lisacar130 replied to MFTinRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

  9. PLEASE HELP: New grad, 3 months into first job, want to quit and leave it off resume

    Lisacar130 replied to roseofmay's topic in General Nursing

    I see a lot of people recommend leaving the job on your resume. First, a background check will NOT show this job. Second, it will be a red flag to a potential new employer that you're leaving so soon....

    Lisacar130 replied to Bella2016's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Lisacar130 replied to Bella2016's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  12. Passing nclex RN 3 yrs after graduating... need employment advice

    Lisacar130 replied to Bella2016's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I honestly don't know if I'm giving the right advise or not... but on your resume, could you just not put the date you graduated? Just list the school and put your license number with the year you got...

  13. Help! What's next?

    Lisacar130 replied to Justme0400's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm sorry... I'm not trying to scare anyone. If you're a nurse and your employer is suspicious enough to ask you to take a drug test, they will report you to the board if you don't do it and the board...

  14. Help! What's next?

    Lisacar130 replied to Justme0400's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Also, it can take the Board months to actually contact you and set up the hearing, depending on the state and how busy they are. It took them 4 months in my case from my self report to the hearing and...

  15. Help! What's next?

    Lisacar130 replied to Justme0400's topic in Nurses Recovery

  17. Help! What's next?

    Lisacar130 replied to Justme0400's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You probably want to find a lawyer immediately that deals with nurses. They will assume you're guilty and you will end up on a program consisting of random drug tests, where you won't even be able to...

  18. Hospice patient and vitals

    Lisacar130 replied to Goofaroo's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the families are used to an intense ICU situation and don't understand how hospice works. I always asked family if they wanted vitals though, but the purpose is pretty much to let the family...

  19. Benefits... No need is good news?

    Lisacar130 replied to FuturePN's topic in General Nursing

    For what it's worth, my husband works for a small company with only 4 employees and he is offered health insurance. We use mine now but we used to use his and it wasn't bad. Just see what they say,...

    Lisacar130 replied to M2185's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm from Illinois, but I got a false positive once for ETS (ETG was neg) so they did further testing using a PETH test, which was negative. The PETH test is a blood test that looks back 3 weeks and...

    Lisacar130 replied to JayLuv108's topic in General Nursing

  22. Job offer without telling me pay rates

    Lisacar130 replied to nekoneko's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  24. Help what is regulation of drug screen???

    Lisacar130 replied to jfox01's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Almost everyone in the monitoring program is in it by force. The BON wants you to have an eval. In my opinion, if you don't do it they will assume guilt, especially if your prior job reported you....

  25. Help what is regulation of drug screen???

    Lisacar130 replied to jfox01's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Is it too late for you to sign up for the eval? The only other advise I have for you is that since you're looking for a new job anyway, you could try to get a "recovery friendly" job. In case the BON...
