    Wizard 1 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am grateful to be clean, to be able to eat anything I want without having to worry, and to be able to not have to worry about getting caught diverting. I am also grateful to be able to run a...

    Wizard 1 replied to IrishCMSRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Had a positive for urine alcohol in the last month of my contract, they then ran an etg test on it. I was told THAT was positive too. To make a long story short, my caseworker messed around for a...

    Yup, that's it for the site. I haven't been there in a while, but as far as I know they're still

  5. "Recovery" and public shaming

    Wizard 1 replied to noctanol's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have always thought this system of posting discipline permanently was a bit perverse. It doesn't seem to serve a good purpose to have it as such. I can see the public protection angle, but face it...

  8. Meetings

    Wizard 1 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

  10. Newly Fired

    Wizard 1 replied to Nursey1982's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This ^^^^ I know how it feels, as if you're walking a tightrope. As long as you don't hear otherwise, you have an unrestricted license. I'd get a job while I still had

  11. Applying for Licensure in Recovery

    Wizard 1 replied to katie457's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It depends on your state, and what is specifically asked in the application. Unless you are asked specifically, and if covered by state law regarding expungements, I'd think twice about revealing...

  12. Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    Wizard 1 replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    She can try to "file abandonment charges" but it won't go far. She's not the state's attorney for one, and it also doesn't constitute abandonment. This is an old issue but this bears reiterating: This...

  13. Call to action! Nurses in Monitoring Programs

    Wizard 1 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    An additional thing I'd like to see is accountability for the companies that initiate the testing, the labs that actually perform the testing, and what is done with the results. There have been many...

  15. Are you better off?

    Wizard 1 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Similar to my sentiments on this. Also an incentive to stay clean, at least for me. When I go before the Board, I can look them in the eye. Most importantly I can look myself in the eye, every day....

  18. RNinRecovery*Help!

    Wizard 1 replied to 2010rn42's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You are in the right place. I have social anxiety too, so I get the nervous part. Thank you for sharing your story! Many of us have been, and still are, going through similar challenges in and out of...

    Wizard 1 replied to xojessicalynnxo25's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wizard 1 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think this is a good start. What concerns me even more than this is the lack of accountability that the monitoring programs and Boards of Nursing have, to the public and to the nurses they...

  21. Are you better off?

    Wizard 1 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In this situation, there aren't simple answers to this. I am definitely better off getting clean and staying clean. I believe I would have either ended up harming a patient or myself had I not, and...
