  2. Conflict Resolution Advice?

    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. 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...

    All of these programs are different. I dont have any restrictions besides having to take vivitrol (a Monthly IM medication like naltrexone) and of course random testing and meetings. I work nights and...
  5. Unsafe doctor...do I report it?

    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?

    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...
  7. Short term disability?

    I was able to receive short term disability while on leave and I diverted from my job and was caught. Since they didn't fire me, I was able to collect short term disability while on FMLA and going to...

  9. 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....
  10. You're right... Now that I think of it...I think I did get a few interviews though with just a resume but those were for nonhospital jobs and the hospital jobs did have a lengthy application before...
  11. No I know that and I said to complete the application correctly... I'm talking about the resume only. In order to have the opportunity to fill out the application, you have at least gotten to the...
  12. 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?

    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?

    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?

    I have no idea if it would help or not. Well, I would try to get a recovery friendly job as soon as possible. Once the board does their thing and potentially puts your license on probation with...

    Also... post your question in the recovery forum for more
  17. Help! What's next?

  18. Hospice patient and vitals

    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?

    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,...
  20. 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...
  21. I would get info for your parents to enroll themselves into medical school to become neurosurgeons. It's never too late for them to try. This is the American Dream and they can start from wherever...
  22. Job offer without telling me pay rates

    I agree with the person who said: "I would not assume that this is due to pay rates being low. Poor organization and the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing is extremely common in some...

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

    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???

    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...
