  1. Crisis of confidence

    Lisacar130 replied to Lostsoul123's topic in General Nursing

    Go see a doctor about your anxiety. It could be your thyroid, for example. Otherwise if not medical related I would look into starting anti-anxiety

  2. Help! Tested positive

    Lisacar130 replied to Jaybird82's topic in Nurses Recovery

  4. Misdemeanor charges

    Lisacar130 replied to Novicenursing's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Make sure you don't lie or try to cover this up on your application (not that you were going to). I am not sure but I think even expunged charges have to be reported. It should say on your...

    Lisacar130 replied to Jaybird82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Here's another link for info on your program in MN. 400 Bad Request One thing I see is that if you join the program you would be required to inform your employer. They would have to fill out some...

  7. Help! Tested positive

    Lisacar130 replied to Jaybird82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am all for fighting it if you're lawyer agrees. On the other hand, fighting it and losing is worse than joining the program. If you fight it and you lose you could have a public and permanent...

  8. Help! Tested positive

    Lisacar130 replied to Jaybird82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I should probably add that if they required you to go to treatment you would be resposible for that cost. Hopefully you will have insurance that would cover that should the time come. Your state looks...

    Lisacar130 replied to Jaybird82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OK... your program in MN would cost you $0 per year to be in the program. You would have to pay for your own tox screens. That is it. See top of page 3....

  11. Help! Tested positive

    Lisacar130 replied to Jaybird82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The hair follicle test is valid for I think 3 months ago. So it can help to prove you were clean within the past 3 months. I would do it now. You might feel a need to repeat it when the board has you...

    Lisacar130 replied to mdenton's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty impressive that you say the patients and staff seem happy. While this isn't an ideal scenario for you I say try it out. Ask for lots of help from the experienced nurses and other staff. Call...

  16. Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

    Lisacar130 replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Once you go psych, you won't WANT to go back. I used to work on a medical floor for 12 years or so and now so work in psych. My stress level is almost zero. I leave on time. I get paid the same as I...

  17. Reportable BRN incidents

    Lisacar130 replied to Wrestler133's topic in General Nursing

    Lisacar130 replied to milo65's topic in Nurses Recovery

  22. Curiosity

    Lisacar130 replied to TexNurse777's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I mean honestly as a recovering addict I can sure think of ways to fool the system to a point (I won't say how) but once the "urine" reaches the lab they would for sure be able to tell it's synthetic...

  23. Sobriety and NCLEX?

    Lisacar130 replied to gchooljian's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The BON is not going to do this much investigating for each and every NCLEX application. Even if they checked your FB and MySpace from years ago, they can't prove anything. Even if they found a...
