  1. Day Shift VS Night Shift for New Grad

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to klove390's topic in General Nursing

    I have a one hour 50 minute commute...I could not do it after a night shift, so after 16 years of nights, I switched to a day walker. No

  2. Hiring Mgr: We will let you know in 2 weeks

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

    That happened to me before. The job posting had to up for a certain amount of time and a certain number of interviews had to happen. After 2 weeks, they told me they were moving forward. It took a...

  3. Medication addiction treatment... are we circling the drain?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to guest940422's topic in General Nursing

    I used methadone successfully to kick a severe, illicit opiate habit. It was the only way I could do it. I was on it for 3 months then tapered off over 12 days. I've been clean from opiates for 3...

  4. CA first DUI

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

    In all fairness, this is probably not all of them...just the ones who had public discipline. Those are the ones you were seeing. I'm sure many others are in monitoring and therefore might not have...

  5. Tnpap questions

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

    My only thought is that a hair sample probably wouldn't do you much good at this point. They typically only test 1.5 inches of hair, which is about 90 days...too far ago to absolve you of any use back...

  6. Trying to understand

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

    I was reported to the Board but self reported to monitoring as soon as I was notified of the investigation (like, the day of). Thankfully, I was granted a full stay of discipline so long as I finish...

  7. What happens when you decide not to move forward with IPN's recommendations?

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

    I don't have any advice, but your story makes me feel sick. I'm assuming that you aren't on a benzo or something like that that they want you off? Just garden variety psychiatry meds??? That's total...

  8. Getting charged in multiple states?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Your post struck such a cord in me. Took the breath out of my chest, it resonated so deeply. Thank you for putting into words what I have not been able to. Thank you,

  9. Is $800-920 a month too much for rent as a new nurse?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to jjas9's topic in General Nursing

    Some financial gurus say that your total housing expenses should not exceed %25-%35 of your income...mine is right at %25 and I wouldn't want it any higher. A solid budget is the key. You don't want...

  10. can confused pts refuse meds?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to cwilliams032's topic in General Nursing

    In my State, even in psych with a legally, fully committed patient, we have to have full court ordered meds before we can give ANYONE meds against their will. Period. A TDO or a commitment is not...

  11. Suggestions for bringing up probation while looking for work

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

    I disclosed to HR during the first phone interview. That unit wasn't a fit for monitoring, but she directed me immediately to a unit that was amenable to having a monitored nurse. I had an in person...

  12. Getting charged in multiple states?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You *may* be able to do two at once...I've heard of it happening before. That's part if why a lawyer will be key for you. And you can get jobs with marks on your license while your in monitoring. In...

  13. Getting charged in multiple states?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know that in my program, my multi state privilege is revoked and void as long as I am in monitoring. I can only practice in my home state for the duration of my contract. Now, you are going to have...

  14. Getting charged in multiple states?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Did the other state's BON write the letter to you or was it an letter from an Attorney General from another state? I believe the Attorney General of another state would be the one to notify you of...

  15. California RN on probation

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

    Do you have restrictions on your practice with the probation? Like no narcs, no nights, etc? That will help guide our advice.

  16. New Peds Nurse Struggling

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to jwallac3's topic in General Nursing

    Former peds nurse of 16 years here. You did fine. Peds, especially former preemies with RSV, can turn on an absolute dime. You sought out your resources and used them correctly. Crap happens and when...

  17. OMG JACHO IS HERE!

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Hide yo' drinks, hide yo'

  18. Almost graduating and feeling defeated

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to AKnurse2b18's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it is perfectly normal to feel that way. It takes time to adjust to the long shifts and the pace of med surg is fast, so of course that is going to be overwhelming. Deep breaths, you can do...

  19. Nursing degree after Biology degree

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Eboehler's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was biology first. When I switched gears to nursing, I found the academia of Nursing school not overly challenging. Working so closely with patients was a huge adjustment from a personality...

  20. please tell me when this is over this is over

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Babyj88's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you are in monitoring, when your time is done, once you receive WRITTEN notification that you are done, and you can no longer check into your drug screening program, you are done. Finished. The...

  21. Option 4

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

    Each one of my options has a unique price. The cheapest so far has been $32, the most expensive was $150, but that was blood. My most expensive urine was around $68 so far. My cheapest blood was $90....

  22. Will my license be at risk?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Elmstreet209's topic in General Nursing

    This is a customer service issue, not a licensing issue. Even if the spouse was the legal guardian, regardless of the competency of the patient, you made a nursing decision to listen to his complaint...

  23. Something Positive!

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've been blowing up this board lately, but I promise, this will be my last thread for a while. I just got the official news that my key restriction has been lifted as of today! The new contract is in...

  24. Job Offers

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Caseyyy27's topic in Nursing Career

    That's very hard to say. The fastest formal offer I got after being informally told I had the job was two days. The longest was 8 weeks, and I was assured by that manager and the peer interviewers...

  25. Job Offers

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Caseyyy27's topic in Nursing Career

    Won't happen today. HR typically does reference checks and other formalities prior to a formal offer. A couple of days would be on the faster end of things. At least in my
