  1. Uds 1 day before completion!

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

    Hi and welcome! I would suggest creating your own thread to ask this question. Only the OP will get a notification of your post, so it's likely to get buried and others won't see your questions,...

  2. Hair Test

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Scollins2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was in for abusing a non-controlled substance (don't want to name it due to identifying risk, but think like a bulimic abusing lasix or something). It was my own script, but I abused it and my doc...

  3. O-792074

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Scollins2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've never had a positive, so I'm not sure. That being said, they told me that they do not withdraw the money from my account until it has resulted, and it usually takes 2 or 3 business days for that...

  4. O-792074

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Scollins2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ugh, my program takes a full month before they will result the results of any test. I have no tests posted from October

  5. A Recovery Poll, Sort Of

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

    I honestly don't know what I will do with alcohol. It has never been a DOC for me, if I had a glass of wine once a month before monitoring, that would be average. So on the one hand, it's not really a...

  6. Help! Tested positive

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Jaybird82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is so tough. There is a nurse that I am in monitoring with who recently tested positive for cocaine. Alcohol was her drug of choice. She is three years in. She swears she didn't use, and I am...

  7. Observed urines? Freaking Out.

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm honestly freaking out. Today I got selected for a urine that is observed. My program has never done an observed urine in the almost 2 years I've been in. I had one observed urine at the very...

  8. Me again! Timeframe question.

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

    From the time I expressed interest in the program, I had my assessment within 2 days, and started the actual PHP program 3 business days later. However, I did not have a signed contract until after I...

  9. Float staff having a hard time

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

    I was a float nurse for a large pediatric hospital several years ago. And I was floated everywhere. I only got two shifts orienting on peds hem/onc. That being said, at the time, I had 12 years peds...

  10. New to Alabama VDAP

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

    Deep breath. They will work with you on the actual location of treatment, particularly outpatient treatment...not so much inpatient treatment, but you won't be required to drive 100 miles for...

  11. New to Alabama VDAP

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

    To answer your questions 1) The investigation will not stop regardless of your choice. The investigation has to be completed in case you fail or drop out of monitoring...because in that case, they...

  12. New to Alabama VDAP

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

    Okay, so I wrote a novel. As an option to not read said novel, I'll give you the TL;DR version. **I was able to do outpatient treatment, but they made me do 7 months of it, stepping down after 4. I...

  13. Psych unit

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I now work in psych and that ratio sounds about right. It seems a little slow in the admission, discharge category...but that may be due to the type of unit you are on. My unit usually has between 3...

  14. Addiction pnap

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Nurse8485's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You can certainly apply. My program (not PNAP) did have a program where you could possibly get a stay of discipline. That being said, they often don't care if you were not employed, had clean tests,...

  15. Do you post in any other non-nursing forums

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

    I second Reddit. I'm a member of multiple subreddits and get to follow many of my odd ball interests that way. It's all located conveniently in one app and I can subscribe or unsubscribe to any reddit...

  16. Narcotic restrictions- how do they work??

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For my narc restriction, it was all controlled substances restricted. My director was able to have pharmacy block my access to all scheduled meds in the Pyxis while I was under restriction. I had...

  17. Florida IPN and Kratom

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Polman87's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have an acquaintance in Florida IPN who was busted using kratom in that program. That did not go over well for him. I'm in another state and in our orientation we were told that kratom was randomly...

  18. Depression and Naltrexone

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm going to try to keep this brief. I'm in my second year of monitoring and getting ready to finish my first year working at my present job. I have a massive commute, but I only work 2 days a week....

  19. Random drug screens for Ohio monitoring program through BON

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Love my kids 3's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My drug of choice was unusual and I have the same situation as you. Periodically, I will get a message on the website telling me to contact them because I've been selected for a special test. It's a...

  20. Will an RN lose his/her job if they pursue rehab?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to kindheartforever19's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah, go to rehab but say you are a phlebotomist or something else. I was turned in by my hospitalist when I was hospitalized from complications from drug abuse. I wasn't working as a nurse at the...

  21. Please help! Under investigation for the first time and scared

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to dlkj413's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would agree that having a clean hair drug test ASAP to tuck in your back pocket, just in case, would be helpful. It won't stop them from trying to accuse you of selling whatever they accused you of...

  22. They tried to lock me up

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Orion81RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First question...did the NP know you are a nurse? As for reporting you if she did know, did she mention anything at all about reporting you? I'm just trying to figure out where this fear of being...

  23. Dropped Pill - Do you give it?

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

    I wipe my COW down before I start my work. I don't ever put blood samples or urine on my COW because...ew! I clean my hands before I touch my COW. So, yeah. That COW surface is way cleaner than the...

  24. Blood testing

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

    I've had two different blood tests...different codes. I'm assuming one was the path, but as for the other one? No clue. I've also had nail too. Nothing special to do or bring. No prep to be done. No...

  25. ISNAP DRUG TESTS

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Red<nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sadly, no. I have 3 years and 7 months
