    Wizard 1 replied to HoldenC's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wizard 1 replied to Randomnurse3's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Doesn't sound like there's much evidence. If you do ever hear something get a lawyer and fight

  14. Nervous!! Counting down the days....

    Wizard 1 replied to Nurse8204's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good luck. Breathe. You got this! That said, there are a few things. DO NOT get overconfident and take/drink something until you have the letter formally satisfactorily discharging you from monitoring...

    Wizard 1 replied to Cpblondie81's topic in Nurses Recovery

  16. Diversion

    Wizard 1 replied to Frina's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Of course. They didn't have anything (at least from appearances), didn't like you and wanted you out. Nothing you could have done would change that. No evidence in the form of dates, times, names...

  17. YES - get an attorney

    Wizard 1 replied to GuyRN2003's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Most definitely get an attorney, whether you diverted or not. If you are suddenly ganged up on, do ask to see documentation of the said discrepancy, and do not accept "So and so said, so and so...

  18. Just a small venting session

    Wizard 1 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes. This was how i handled things too. Since I knew they are a state agency, bureaucracy rules and if I want to make sure things are taken care of properly I must be the one to do it. No waiting...

  19. Diversion

    Wizard 1 replied to Frina's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Under that kind of surprise interrogation, it is very understandable to "confess" to something one would not ordinarily do. Imagine expecting to work your shift and it turns into management/HR people...

  20. Diversion

    Wizard 1 replied to Frina's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Most nurses do not imagine themselves in this situation either. Nobody wakes up in the morning and decides to become an addict, and nobody consciously puts themselves in a vulnerable position whether...

  21. Diversion

    Wizard 1 replied to Frina's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Lawyer up right now. Seek legal counsel experienced in licensure litigation with the BON. Do not say anything to a soul. For that matter, do not speak about it on the internet. They need to be able...

    Wizard 1 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank the gods, this is good news! I know the feeling, though...and when the vindication comes, you feel like WTF was this all about? So unnecessary. I'm glad you got the notification, and support...

    Wizard 1 replied to noctanol's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Welcome! You aren't alone in your feelings. What many of us do when we are having out in these programs is, simply, do the do. When the depression and frustration gets too much, come on here. We have...
