    I’m getting towards the end of this poop show. I’m not thanking anybody for anything. I eat the poop pie but I ain’t gonna rave about the taste. I’ve seen not one good thing in my years...

    I think filing for social security is a great idea for all nurses who cannot work because of this idiotic reality we all deal with. I should have filed as I was off for months. Not only does it put...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow I’ve been low carbing for about a year and lost a bunch of weight. I guess I intentionally increased my ketone level. It sure never got me high just hungry a lot. I’d be subject to...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to b.g805's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don’t know what that is. I’m sure it’s probably fine but I’ve been very defensive during my time in this program. It I don’t know it won’t pop a false positive I don’t ingest it. At...

    Anyone left TNPAP before contract end?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to RNlove12's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don’t know about where you are at but here it’s my understanding that you either complete the program or lose your ability to practice. I think this is BS and just another piece of evidence...

    Rehab? Asking for a future nurse

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to HiddenShadow20's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wouldn’t tell those clowns anything. That’s a question they shouldn’t be able to ask nor find out about without breaking a whole pile of laws pertaining to patient confidentiality. You...

    Who are “they”? Is it any nurse that failed a random drug screen for weed in a state it’s legal? Is it the nurse with mental health issues who may have self medicated? Is it the nurse who got...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nurses are human. I think you will find the same percentage of them with human frailties as the rest of the public to include politicians, business folks, police officers .... and everyone else. We...

    Are boundaries ok?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    Boundaries are absolutely necessary. If working 16 hours with a 2 hour commute is too much for you then don’t do it. Don’t make other people’s problems your problems. They are coworkers not...
