  1. Not trying to give up hope

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Versash's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Is the probation public on your license? Formal, public discipline? That may be the problem, rather than the restrictions. I work with restrictions as well, many, many more restrictions than you...

  2. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to JxoRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My state requires you to have a CC or debit on file because they do not bill the day of the test, they bill you when they receive the test result from the test processing company (i.e. Affinity or...

  3. Working restaurant job in recovery..

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Nursealc123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    How does she even know that the restaurant you will be working at has a bar? Is a chain known for drunken debauchery or something special like that? I mean, unless it's called "The Drunken Sailor" or...

  4. Can I get into an FNP / midwife program without another degree other than a BSN?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to nursejaclynxx's topic in General Nursing

    You need a BSN, or a bridge program, but since you already have a BSN, you can't do a bridge program...there is nothing to bridge since you have the middle degree

  5. Communicating with doctors as a new grad.

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Alexx_xox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you are talking to me (please use the quote feature), of course we don't speak like this professionally. That is absurd. This is the casual short hand lingo that one uses when you aren't at work,...

  6. Working restaurant job in recovery..

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Nursealc123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What in the actual heck?? That seems grossly overstepping some authority there. At the start of my program, I worked as a pre-k teacher and substitute teacher, so they didn't give me flack. I had to...

  7. Dx of Bipolar

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to nurse_girlie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Truth. They wouldn't have cared a snit about my depression otherwise, I'm sure. But since I was under their scrutiny already and my depression did play a part in my decision to use substances, they...

  8. Maryland BON Monitoring program

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to stur's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This not Maryland specific, but you may not get a Maryland program participant to answer. I am super near Maryland. My program is five years...No one gets less. Your employer will have to send in...

  9. Dx of Bipolar

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to nurse_girlie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In order to be in compliance with the monitoring program, I had to agree to sign releases of information (ROI) for anything they asked about. When they saw the depression diagnosis, they demanded a...

  10. New grad: critical care float pool or ED?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to blue737's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, nobody in ICU or otherwise watched me like a hawk when I oriented to the units or worked float. They didn't ask what I had and had not been checked off on. The assumption was that I...

  11. Dx of Bipolar

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to nurse_girlie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I honestly imagine if my doc prescribed things in a manner that the program disagreed with, or refused the naltrexone purely on the basis that he doesn't like naltrexone in general (he does not like...

  12. Care Plan on the job

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to sillymu's topic in General Nursing

    The position that I am in now is the first position where I have to actually WRITE a care plan for every admission... Now, we have had actual care plans for every patient in every other job I've been...

  13. Dx of Bipolar

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to nurse_girlie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In exchange for having the key restriction dropped at the 6 month mark since I began to practice again as a nurse...with the expectation that I stay on the med as long as I am dispensing narcotics in...

  14. High risk pregnancy and short term disability

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to jacquisosa's topic in General Nursing

    I had this happen with both of my babies. Follow doctor's orders, and go on short term and then long term disability. They pay 60% of your base pay. They usually allow you to make the 40% up with...

  15. Dx of Bipolar

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to nurse_girlie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Technically the Board doesn't mandate it; the monitoring program does. So it's not a legal mandate, per se, but if I want to stay in compliance with my "voluntary" program, I have to take

  16. Dx of Bipolar

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to nurse_girlie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I did not tell them I had depression, it was something they stumbled unto when they read the medical (not psychiatric) hospital records they required as part of my

  17. Dx of Bipolar

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to nurse_girlie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am mandated to see a shrink and a therapist for the duration of my five years. I happen to be on meds, but I'm not allowed anything like a controlled substance. I am mandated to follow my shrinks...

  18. False positive!!!! Help

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to RBBRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You said "another false positive". What was your first false positive

  19. Communicating with doctors as a new grad.

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Alexx_xox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In my experience, I frequently suggest interventions to physicians, including pharmaceuticals. Remember, these physicians have huge case loads and their eyes aren't on the patients very often. My...

  20. Forced to do 12 hr shifts

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to pensivern's topic in General Nursing

    Seroquel works for me for sleep, since Ambien, temazepam, and even trazodone all eventually pooped out. I have a range dose; I take half a dose with a melatonin if I have to work the next day, and I...

  21. New grad: critical care float pool or ED?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to blue737's topic in General Nursing

    I worked the pediatric float pool for a large, 11 floor children's hospital...floated to PICU, CVICU, Burn ICU, NICU, hem/onc, NPCN, rehab, ortho, med/surg, same day surgery, overflow, yada, yada,...

  22. PEth Alcohol Test

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to curiousrdh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Donating blood will not help at all. As the previous poster said, the metabolites will be bound to your blood cells, and unless you plan on draining yourself dry and putting in new blood, there is...

  23. Can ketones cause false positive?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Nah, you are good. I did less than 10 grams of carbs a day ketogenic for like 10 months in the program and I never had an issue. Always had ketosis on my AM test strips, never had a pee test

  24. Affinity codes

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Indiana RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No, you really don't. Mine is pretty varied: $32, $58, $64, $90, $150. Not counting any collection site fees. Pee, blood...no hair yet. There is zero use for me guessing because I rarely have the same...

  25. Affinity codes

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Indiana RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my program, the codes are "Top Secret". If we fail one, they won't let us know what the fail is for...because they do not want it getting out what they are testing for. Other programs do disclose...
