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

    Lisacar130 replied to jfox01's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Unfair or not, when the BON wants your medical info after an accusation like this, unfortunately you're going to have to comply if you want to keep your license. It is still possible that a person who...

  2. The test doesn't lie

    Lisacar130 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I used my old place of employment as a reference, even with a real positive test. I have heard that hospitals usually have a policy where they can only say dates of employment. It worked, I was able...

  3. What do I do now.

    Lisacar130 replied to MissouriRN13's topic in General Nursing

    So you didn't even leave the unit... this sounds so bogus. Sorry this is happening. Why couldn't the lawyer defend you more? Did he give a reason? All I can suggest is keep calling different

  4. What do I do now.

    Lisacar130 replied to MissouriRN13's topic in General Nursing

    Can you give more details about exactly what happened? I know from personal experience that different lawyers will charge different amounts... in Illinois I had quotes of $1,500 to $5000. I would...

  5. What do I do if I'm struggling in the easy classes?

    Lisacar130 replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Students

    Perhaps you are trying too hard. 12 hours a day? No way the rest of your class is doing that. I found that for CERTAIN classes, reading the book cover to cover was impossible. For example, in...

  6. school while being monitored

    Lisacar130 replied to stickybun's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm not an expert on this, but is there going to be any public discipline on your license or do you not know that yet? I thought if not, then no... but it might depend on what the application asks...

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

    Lisacar130 replied to jfox01's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't know the specifics of what they told her. Apparently they told her if she hires a lawyer then no deal. I could see how the hospital does not want to deal with her lawyer. If she brings a...

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

    Lisacar130 replied to jfox01's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good, I know of so many nurses who would have killed for this opportunity you have, instead of having permanent consequences to your license. Good luck and it will go by

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

    Lisacar130 replied to jfox01's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree with Meriwhen except when it comes to the part about "Even if you lose your job because you chose to hire a lawyer." If you lose the job, they immediately report you to the board and then you...

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

    Lisacar130 replied to jfox01's topic in Nurses Recovery

    These programs are in lieu of them reporting you to the board. If you are reported by them, you will have a permanent mark on your license and will then be monitored by the board, doing the exact same...

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

    Lisacar130 replied to jfox01's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Believe it or not, there are some hospitals that do have a policy where instead of reporting you they offer to monitor you themselves. It is legal and included in the nurse practice act in my state...

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

    Lisacar130 replied to jfox01's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm sorry to keep bothering you about this but I've seen this scenario before (in my real life support group) and feel compelled to warn you again. The board is not going to believe your story about...

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

    Lisacar130 replied to jfox01's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I get what you're saying, but unfortunately no lawyer is going to be able to get you out of doing this monitoring program. You must start acting like a recovering addict and do this 2 year program,...

  14. Transferring license after graduating??

    Lisacar130 replied to RickG85's topic in Nurses Recovery

    One other thing... the support group friend I was talking about never self reported to our home state either prior to applying for TX, so that might be why Texas was so harsh. She never went through...

  15. Transferring license after graduating??

    Lisacar130 replied to RickG85's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have to tell you that one of the ladies in my support group had to apply for a TX license because she worked for an insurance company and she had to get multiple state licenses to be able to call...

  16. New nurse feeling hopeless

    Lisacar130 replied to Katastrophe's topic in General Nursing

    That's the suicide hotline by the way, thought you should know that. I have found that melatonin works wonders for me. I take it about 30 minutes to an hour before I want to go to sleep. I work...

  17. About to start recovery process, some questions

    Lisacar130 replied to stickybun's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No one is going to believe that you weren't taking from work. It is not that common for the hospital to press charges, but if they do they will do whether you admit to anything or not. They might not...

  18. Possible BRN Program in California

    Lisacar130 replied to M2185's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If I were you, I would definitely apply for only nonhospital jobs and only jobs that do not involve passing narcotics. I hear dialysis clinics are very recovery friendly. Yes, get your foot in the...
