  3. What happens when you decide not to move forward with IPN's recommendations?

    MFTinRN replied to MFTinRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    MFTinRN replied to MFTinRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

  11. any nurses/nursing students on methadone?

    MFTinRN replied to milksteak's topic in Nurses Recovery

  25. Florida IPN question

    MFTinRN replied to MFTinRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I opened a short term disability case today, but I am so confused on what to tell them. Ultimately it is an old back injury that caused me to use, but I'm on an LOA for a "medical problem" aka drug...
