    And you think it can't get worse

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Eris Discordia BSN, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yep not drinking or drugging is easy. The rest is BS. I would think that for a nurse with a serious addiction issue this would not be the case. These programs should be helping nurses that cannot...

    Types of questions...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Randomnurse3's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah when I was in IOP they wanted me to bring my sponsor for some discussion day. I refused and said the man was gainfully employed & that he couldn't take time off work for drunk / high show...

    Possession charges

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to sarahellie's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    My guess is that you are looking at getting sucked into a monitoring program.

    Terrified again

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to nurse_girlie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh God!!! Sober for three years and facing the possibility of IOP or Inpatient. Life is strange in Nazi Monitoring Land. Your sobriety should be celebrated and not scrutinized. These idiots love...

    ISNAP DRUG TESTS

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

    Why are you done? Are they seriously going to discipline you when you didn't pop positive? That is

    Types of questions...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Randomnurse3's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Mine was an interview. They asked me a zillion questions about my drinking and drug use. I hadn't used drugs in 30 years but had been drinking since I was a teenager. I was honest with them. I...

    Inappropriate Conversations in the Workplace

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I'm an ER Nurse also and I've had a few observations over the years from working in mine. Boundaries between colleagues in my ER is virtually nonexistent. I know way, way more about other...

    Starting the IPN in Florida

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to sheracraft's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah a sure sign of BS is when the "professional evaluator" works for the rehab facility. That bought me 1 month inpatient ($400 per day) and four months IOP ($300 per day). That comes to about...

    Picking up slack from coworkers?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'll pick up the slack for a new grad learning their way or a trusted colleague having the occasional bad day (we all do but it better be rare). Other than that I'll tell the slacker nurse in...

    HPRP unfairly being treated

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Wolfpuppy31's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah see if you can join that class action suit in Michigan. Ultimately most nurse bullies are cowards with no strength of conviction. They will dish it out until slapped across their faces. If...

    ISNAP DRUG TESTS

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

    I'd rather them do some long term test like blood, hair or nails that would basically insure that we are all being good little sober nurses than this random pee nonsense also. I don't think I ever...

    HPRP unfairly being treated

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Wolfpuppy31's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah. I don't know what to add. You have gotten a lot of good advice from the good people that come to this site. The monitoring programs don't care about fairness in general or you in particular....

    How many have been arrested?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to DistressedRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Throw that thing in the trash and make no more admissions of guilt without talking to an attorney

    And you think it can't get worse

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Eris Discordia BSN, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So true!!! Less cash for the recovery industry and less ability to torture for the BONs. Where the hell is the fun in

    And you think it can't get worse

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Eris Discordia BSN, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What stupidity!!! You have been subject to random drug tests for a period of time. Aren't they supposed to insure your sobriety. Now they want a test on top of that to confirm months of sobriety on...

    Isolating, Obsessing, Life on hold

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Recovering, You have described life in monitoring perfectly. Its depressing and horrible. I have just under two years left to go and my life is in no way better than before I started this process....

    Will marijuana ever be okay in nursing?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Bakingismylife's topic in General Nursing

    What percentage of the non-compliant diabetic population or COPD population suffer ill-effects of poor personal choices. Are we to jail the fatties and smokers

    Will marijuana ever be okay in nursing?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Bakingismylife's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I think it should be completely legal. In fact I think all drugs should be legal. I'm pretty much a "ain't nobodies business if you do" so long as you don't make it somebody else's business....
