  1. preemployment drug testing

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to babynurse98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Okay, I thought of another way to explain it. Let's say your physician prescribes you a script for 100 mg of Imitrex to to take a day prn for a migraine; that is your prescribed dose. Period. He wants...

  5. preemployment drug testing

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to babynurse98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I do not want to share my exact story because it could identify me. What I can say is that I provided a sample for drug testing, it went to MRO review due to positives. I had legal, in date scripts...

  6. preemployment drug testing

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to babynurse98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ah, I just noticed you said it's not expired. Regardless, your doctor did not write for you to take 2 mg, he wrote for you to take 1 mg. It doesn't matter how many bottles are in the house, if you...

  7. preemployment drug testing

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to babynurse98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Okay, there is your trouble right there. If a script is over a year old, it is universally invalid by law. If it is a controlled substance script, it is lawfully invalid after six months. Even if you...

  8. preemployment drug testing

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to babynurse98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's trickier. Why on earth do you have two scripts for the same drug from the same doc in the same dose?? Did he accidentally write two scripts? Did he give you an extra that you filled early?...

  9. preemployment drug testing

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to babynurse98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's a big problem if they are not from the same physician. If they are from different physicians, it's an even bigger problem if they don't know that the other doctor is concurrently prescribing a...

  11. preemployment drug testing

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to babynurse98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Don't pee if you won't pee clean under the tightest of scrutiny in drug testing. Every employer tests differently and they certainly won't tell you their testing protocol prior to an offer. It's not...

    Watch, you may have just jinxed yourself and you'll be called tomorrow! That would be my luck, at

  13. Back to Back Tests

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

    No, it is a once daily check in. The time that you can check in depends on your program. I can check in between 0400 and 1600 to test. The program is closed outside of those hours, so if I don't check...

  14. CA BRN prior convictions - Advanced Practice

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to kaylee.'s topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I haven't gone thru this personally, but I know someone who has...she had to resubmit everything again. If they didn't discipline you the first time, I doubt they would again. But regardless, she had...

  17. Staff Retention Policies

  18. How long does it take to feel comfortable?

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

    I started in a specific ICU setting and it took me a solid two years to feel pretty darn comfortable. I felt like my head was finally above water around the first

  19. Anxiety

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to MBar1's topic in General Students

    Learning the root or prefix of the words will help you out a ton. For instance, in surgery the root "ectomy" means to take out. Drugs that end in "pam" are in the benzo family. If the med ends in...

  21. Back to Back Tests

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

    No, its not always random, you are correct. Particularly when it comes to travel. I had to get a test excluded one day because all the labs were closed due to a blizzard. They actually called every...

  22. Overwhelmed & Recovery?

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

    This hits home for me. I will whole heartedly admit that I was a classic drug addict. Absolutely classic. I was not caught impaired at work and I wasn't caught diverting...I sought help for a medical...

  23. Starting over after monitoring: do you love where you live?

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

    Prior to my addiction problems, I lived in Charlotte, NC. I absolutely loved and adored that city. I lived there for 11 years. I loved everything about it. At the time, the population was around...

  24. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

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

    You won't hear back over the weekend, but hopefully you will get some answers early in the week. I know you are sick with worry. Hopefully you will just get time added or a program restart and not...

  25. Encouragement

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

    Success stories help so much! I'm 12 months into a 60 month program, and it's so hard to not feel defeated and anxious. I mean, the last year went pretty quickly, but when I think about 4 more years,...
