  1. ISNAP DRUG TESTS

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

    I had it happen last month. I had a blood test Wednesday, a urine test Thursday, and another blood test the following Monday or Tuesday. All were negative. Don't know what they were testing for, they...

  2. In TPAPN and currently in IOP. Tested pos in IOP...do I need to tell my CM?

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

    Regardless of the outcome you face, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and be proud that you are continuing to fight. You are dealing with one heck of an addiction that is incredibly difficult to...

  3. Weekly Support Group Meetings

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

    If you are 20 something with absolutely massive gauges in your ears, it just might

  4. In TPAPN and currently in IOP. Tested pos in IOP...do I need to tell my CM?

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

    They have you sign a release so that they can communicate with your doctors and treatment team. They give the IOP certain forms, usually monthly, to complete about how you are doing. My IOP had to...

  5. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

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

    I haven't read the comments because I'm sure they are flaming, but I wanted to thank you for the compassion your article shows. I am a current smoker and a former drug addict. I can say that my...

  6. Weekly Support Group Meetings

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

    There's a guy at one of my AA meetings who is on his phone the whole meeting, every meeting. He doesn't talk. But something about how he carries himself makes me wonder if he's on the...

  7. In TPAPN and currently in IOP. Tested pos in IOP...do I need to tell my CM?

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

    Simple answer is your IOP program fills reports out and submits them to TPAN, so your case manager will find out...either from you both or just them. You're early on, so hopefully that will play in...

  8. A Few Alcohol Free Products

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

    I get my fragrances from an Etsy seller that uses essential oils mixed into a simple olive oil carrier...it comes in a tube with a roller ball for application. I messaged her just to be EXTRA sure it...

  9. Required to participate in RAMP for prior Marijuana charge

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Michael Shelby's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    But the discipline is already in play. You already applied in that State and the Board is taking action...you can't unring the discipline bell at this point and just move to a different state. BON's...

  10. Required to participate in RAMP for prior Marijuana charge

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Michael Shelby's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Have you signed a contract yet? Been evaluated yet? Do you have practice restrictions with your

  11. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

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

    I gotta agree with the others here. I would absolutely never contact my case manager about something like this. Bottom line is that asking won't change anything, but it could instill a seed of doubt...

  12. Workplace Sayings

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

    Haha, except one of my detox admits last week tried to cop to three GALLONS of vodka a day...frequent flyer, and tried to special request the ultimate max dose we rarely give of phenobarb, for ETOH...

  13. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

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

    I average 4 a month with a history of all negatives. My program did tell me that a history of positives, false or otherwise, and/or dilutes would automatically up your testing frequency. Impossible to...

  14. CBD & Nursing don't mix

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

    That certainly is a fair and valid point. As someone who has to pee in a cup around twice a week for 4 more years, I shy away from anything that is not FDA approved, however. I live in fear of the...

  15. CBD & Nursing don't mix

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

    Not the case. If you have an incident at work, particularly an injury, many hospitals require a drug screen as part of the employee health investigation. Honestly, if you're toking some weed on your...

  16. I need an experts opinions please !!

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Rn 1979's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't worry one iota about the negative consequences these nurses will face from HR. Whatever happens to them is a direct result of THEIR behavior. You did not cause them to be disciplined or...

  17. Commute time to hospital job

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to finallyRN7's topic in General Nursing

    Like I said, my commute is 1 hr 50 minutes...or 110 miles one way. It's all interstate, zero city traffic. I live in the middle of nowhere, in the mountains, so it's a trade I'm willing to make for...

  18. Commute time to hospital job

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to finallyRN7's topic in General Nursing

    Yes!!! All the bloody

  19. CBD & Nursing don't mix

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

    Most lay people, even the science oriented ones, don't understand the length of BON's reach into the lives of nurses. It's administrative law, not criminal, so the burden of proof is so much less. You...

  20. Wisdom Teeth Removal

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

    I had conscious sedation. I didn't have much pain at all post procedure. Never took the pain pills, and not out of heroism. I didn't need them. And I don't claim to have a great pain tolerance either....

  21. Workplace Sayings

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

    A couple overheard favorites: "It puts the BiPAP on the chin, or else it gets the tube again!" Regarding an AMA patient, muttered by a quippy attending: "And unto Felicia, the Lord sayeth 'Fare thee...

  22. Day shift on no sleep?

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

    If it were me, I would not call in...BUT...I know my body and I certainly can operate decently without sleep. Between work, chronic insomnia, kids, and grad school, I'm quite adept at pulling all...

  23. Charge nurse after 1.5 years on unit

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

    Just because you have to orient to charge doesn't mean you will be in charge often. When I was NICU in a level 4, I was oriented to charge, which was no small thing in a 60 bed unit. Thankfully, they...

  24. Commute time to hospital job

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to finallyRN7's topic in General Nursing

    One hour and 50 minutes. ** Yes, I am serious. No, I'm not quitting my job. Yes, I'm actually okay with it. No, I don't want to move. Yes, I understand that you would never,...

  25. Test Results

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to TexNurse777's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's an amphetamine and will pop on the most basic of panels. A nurse in my state lost her license after starting it while in monitoring, not getting approval, and popping positive. Not a bright move....
