    Cost of Eval for TPAPN

    Online RN-BSN for recovering nurses

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Cgritz77's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think that is wise. I had to take a year off then finish the last year of my DNP studies while in the program. Each of these situations (monitoring and school) are stressful on there own....

    Maximus diversion program says inpatient treatment for 30 days

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to syckgyrrl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah but they cannot really expect you to abandon your child. Besides being called completely the wrong thing to do it’s illegal. If there is nobody to watch the 7 year old what’s to be done....

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to syckgyrrl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh god I’m sorry. I honestly don’t know what to tell you and I can only offer my support. I suppose that one way to attack the problem is to simply state the truth to them. Tell them you cannot...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to TexasMel's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I totally agree with toots. Every time somebody is freed from this hades it offers hope and I am so grateful for it. I can’t help envision being free myself and it gives me hope that one day I...

    False positive urine

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to TESSIENP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is the biggest fear. God I’m praying for you. I don’t know what to say except this is simply wrong. This presumption of guilt nonsense is amoral and treating these tests as infallible is...

    Panicked. Missed check in

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Clenurse24's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah I think about being in this program more than anything else in my life. It’s a sad fact but true. I only have a few more months of this clown show left and I just hope I can forget this...

    PTO not in the budget for remainder of year

    If the place you work for us too broke to pay earned PTO find a new place to work as it indicates either financial insolvency or that they are just lying to your

    My Daughter (also an RN) was arrested

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Kaisu's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First of all I’m sure that there are ways for your daughter to keep her nursing license. She will probably have to go through a monitoring program which is stress, expensive, intrusive as hell and...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Clenurse24's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First of all thank you for the post I’m off today due to the Veterans Day holiday and I guess in my mind I didn’t think I had to check in for some reason. I’ve been doing this for over three...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Glb12287's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well let start with the good news. I really very much doubt criminal charges will be filed against you without any direct evidence of stealing drugs. It doesn’t seem they have any. You didn’t...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Rnbsn3089's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yep and I’m all sure they are the finest minimum wage (or close to it) can buy. It’s the same with the inpatient rehab I was in. $600 a day x 60 residents to be monitored by minimum wage ex...

    For those who have taken board drug tests

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Glb12287's topic in Nurses Recovery
