  1. CT HAVEN Program

    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)

    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. 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. 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. 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...
  6. 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)

    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)

    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)

    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)

    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)

    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)

    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

    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

    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. 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
  16. Can I ask how things are going for you? I have been started with HAVEN for a positive urine test on an ER visit - nothing work or diversion related. When they got ahold of my medical records they now...
  17. Jobs while monitored...

    They won't let me perform direct patient care because of my seizure disorder - any recommendations? Im over these
  18. I haven't signed any monitoring contract yet. They are still completing the initial
  19. So, would you think the fact that I have a therapist I have been seeing the past 2 months from a family based recovery program from dcfs 3 x a week - assessments and negative drug screens - saying I...
  20. Also, how does one go about getting an evaluation from a recovery specialist? I am seeing therapists from family based recovery 3 times a week. This is through dcfs and they work with people suffering...
  21. Do you know realistically of anyone actually winning against these people? Obviously money is tight and I'm concerned that even if I get a lawyer, they can do what they want. I will say I told them...
  22. Out of curiosity, is there anything specific that makes you say 5 years? It also doesn't seem like I have an option to not go to their
  23. I'd like to know whether I should disclose a job as a remote quality assurance RN. There is absolutely no patient care involved so if we are going by the idea that these programs are to prevent...
  24. New to testing recovery trek help

    Fentanyl, which I believe came from laced marijuana as smoking led to the ER which produced a positive test. I've backed my claim up with a negative hair follicle test. However, after obtaining 10...
  25. New to testing recovery trek help

    True, I'm just a little touchy because I haven't done anything wrong - with my kids or work - never have I been impaired around either, I made a one time mistake. I am currently looking for...
