    Does the R in RN stand for reject?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Cats, I'm sorry to hear about these difficulties. I think the people who run the correctional facility could care less about leaving us any morsel of our professional life left. I know nothing about...

    Do you miss bedside nursing?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to anewsns's topic in General Nursing

    Not even a little. Ever. None of it. Especially not the gossipy twits who live to talk behind their colleagues backs about things that are totally none of their

    Calling all PNAP/VRP Nurses in PA

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to IrishCMSRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    From what I've seen they basically make you start over. I'm not sure about doing the rehab fiasco again but you gotta do the 90 in 90 and go through the work restrictions again. I can't imagine the...

    Felony charges

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Rdsrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They never called it a suspension but in effect it was. I needed a permission to return to work to stay in compliance with the terms and conditions of the voluntary program. In all I was off almost...

    Felony charges

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Rdsrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I got my DUI on a Friday night and self reported to the BON on Monday morning because I figured it was my obligation to do so as a professional. I had no idea the giant tub of poop I was about to...

    Will marijuana ever be okay in nursing?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Bakingismylife's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think making drugs illegal makes any sense at all personally. Clearly the war on drugs has been a colossal failure. Some President Nixon declaired the war the amount of drugs has increased...

    Has anyone gone through this program without false positives?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to StanleyJ's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have never had a false positive yet. I did have a positive test as a result of a vivitrol shot I got while inpatient. I (like many) live in great fear of the false positive. I read some good...

    NOPE!!!! Nurses are human and we make mistakes. You made one and (I'm sure) can stay a nurse if you are willing to deal with the ramifications of getting

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Red<nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is absolutely and undeniably true. The ONLY reason I don't drink is fear of getting caught. I truly believe that if you drink you will get caught eventually. Do I have a drinking problem???...

    Missing a test

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Red<nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Here forgetting to check in and missing a test is bad but not fatal. I went to a "meet the Nazi" question and answer session offered by my nurse support group. I think if you miss a couple they...
