1. CT HAVEN Program

   RNemj replied to TractorGirlRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Anyone still reading? I am trying to decide what to do for a positive drug test incident that occurred outside of work, but now they are saying I go to the ER too much so maybe I am not mentally...

2. Recovery & Monitoring Program (RAMP)

   RNemj replied to sunxfire's topic in Nurses Recovery

   It's been almost 10 years so I'm guessing you made it through HAVEN? Any advice for someone who is just getting sucked into this

3. How do people even make it through the monitoring program?

   RNemj replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Yeah, my hair follicle was indeed negative for marijuana because as I told them it was not something I chose to do frequently. I guess I'm a bit confused on the laws surrounding that living in a state...

4. How do people even make it through the monitoring program?

   RNemj replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

   I'm willing to give a chance to just see what the contract they suggest will be. I first have to find thousands of dollars for a comprehensive evaluation when I can't even work. If they throw 5 years...

5. How do people even make it through the monitoring program?

   RNemj replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Thanks for the encouragement. My biggest issue is the one size fits all. I did not divert and have yet to be diagnosed with a substance use disorder. I would be happy to do things that benefit me, but...

   RNemj replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Do you mind sharing with me a bit about how your contract looks? Length, stipulations? I understand they are all different, but I'm at the point of just surrendering my license. I'm happy you have had...

7. Recovery & Monitoring Program (RAMP)

   RNemj replied to sunxfire's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Is there anyway I could send you a direct message? You seem very knowledgeable, I just don't want to blast all the details of my story on

8. Recovery & Monitoring Program (RAMP)

   RNemj replied to sunxfire's topic in Nurses Recovery

   The Nurse monitoring representative for HAVEN (she is a JD) did tell me I could find my own provider to do the comprehensive evaluation and they could vet them and see if they approve. I think this is...

9. Recovery & Monitoring Program (RAMP)

   RNemj replied to sunxfire's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Yeah, I have a lot to think about. I will say that my lawyer kind of went from "I' not really sure there's much we can do, but I'll guide you" to "I think they're cocky and overpaying their hand, I...

10. Recovery & Monitoring Program (RAMP)

    RNemj replied to sunxfire's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oof that one hit hard! Wild we are held to higher standards than the person running the country. And for not even a fraction of the pay! I mean, obviously patients deserve competent nurses who...

11. Recovery & Monitoring Program (RAMP)

    RNemj replied to sunxfire's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The only reason I'm hesitant is because then it's not private like through the alternative to discipline. I really don't relish the thought of being called and addict and also having my complex,...

12. Recovery & Monitoring Program (RAMP)

    RNemj replied to sunxfire's topic in Nurses Recovery

    All these years later, can I ask if you are done with HAVEN and how it went? I'm seriously considering taking a gamble with a hearing in front of the BON because what HAVEN is trying to paint as...

13. Non nursing jobs during monitoring

    RNemj replied to smc26448's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So I did go ahead and disclose- for these logistical reasons - and they are trying to argue because it is around patients I may still need a practice liaison. I politely emailed back reiterating...

14. Non nursing jobs during monitoring

    RNemj replied to smc26448's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So, I'm not sure how to approach this. I was referred to nurse monitoring program and have not signed an agreement- I'm in limbo. They said not to practice direct patient care until I see my...

15. How do people even make it through the monitoring program?

    RNemj replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So I'm already on week 4 of negative urines. I'm stuck in limbo because I can't afford another evaluation out of pocket until I work. I can't feed my
