  1. One Glass of Wine. PETH Test. Did I mess up?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to 123Nerves's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oof, that sucks, I'm so sorry. I actually have completed the program now, and I thankfully never had a hair test. But I I wasn't placed in the program for controlled substance use, so I don't know if...

  2. Flexeril?

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

    Does your program have a list of approved and disallowed meds? My program has a lengthy list as part of their orientation packet, which is available online. Robaxin is allowed in my program, but...

  3. One Glass of Wine. PETH Test. Did I mess up?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to 123Nerves's topic in Nurses Recovery

    And a general FYI, these programs love to test around/after holidays, and alcohol is usually part of the panel. For 3.5 years, I never had a PETH test, but they started included Peth tests every 2 to...

  4. Completed VA HPMP

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

    Any surprises the last few months? Was it a straight forward process wrapping it all up or did you face any unexpected

  5. Recovery Trek test results

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

    Just FYI, Recovery Trek takes forever to post results. Way later than the results are actually completed. For instance, whenever your credit card is billed for the cost of the test, then the test has...

  6. Drop your monthly testing average here please.

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

    I'm in the same program as you. Averages 3 to 4 times a month. The middle years it was 3x/month more often than 4, but the early years it was usually 4 and this last stretch it's increasing again and...

  7. Positive? urine screen

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

    Yes, I would definitely wager you were tested for Wellbutrin. I have been tested for it before and that is about what the test cost for me as well. For my test, the code was actually listed on the...

  8. Increased testing

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

    I was wondering if it was just me, to be honest. I've never been non-complaint with my contract, never had issues, my nose is squeaky clean ,etc...and suddenly I am getting hit with around 2 tests a...

  9. Nursing after attempting suicide

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to em3120's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When the VA BON sent you a notice of an investigation, there should have been a pamphlet enclosed in it for VA HPMP...or the Health Practitioners Monitoring Program. In VA, to avoid public discipline,...

  10. What 2 Think

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to what2think's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't have any particular advice about what to do, but I do want to try to comfort you and let you know you that many nurses take long breaks from nursing altogether, particularly some who are...

  11. I really want to do the right thing and I need help!

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

    I can talk from being on the receiving end of things, being falsely accused of using and then also having diverted in a different period where I was not caught. This actually really does sound like...

  12. REINSTATED!!! And it. feels. good.

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

    Yes!!! I ended up as a detox nurse as well. And because of monitoring, I had to disclose. I decided to be very open and forthcoming and just let it be known. To this day, I have never felt so loved...

  13. I need some help

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Sunwillcomeout64's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was a nurse for 17 years when I was reported. I don't know your finances, but I'll tell you how I survived initially. For insurance, I couldn't afford Cobra, so I went on the government marketplace...

  14. Avoiding a dilute?

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

    I had a dilute. It was my second urine of the day and the only thing I had drank was two-10 oz cups of coffee with cream within 3 hours of peeing. Nothing else. It didn't even look dilute to me when I...

  15. Nursing Board information

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

    Yeah, I'm petrified of the fact that the BON and case managers patrol these boards...I remember last year a case manager actually made a post and outed themselves...they were looking for ways to be...

  16. Dr Office

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to One2go's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would check to see if you are allowed to work in medical at all first. When I was at the start of my program and looking for temporary, pre-nursing work, my program did not allow me to even mop...

  17. Testing- hair/nails/peth

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

    I don't use Affinity. My program just requires me to put in a request and then they see if it can happen. I've never tried

  18. Testing- hair/nails/peth

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

    It's unique to me. I was reported for abusing a weird med...think lasix for a bulimic. I don't want to name it because case managers parole this site and it would instantly identify me. I suspect the...

  19. Testing- hair/nails/peth

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

    I've had multiple specialty tests, blood and nail and a specialty urine that I can only go one place to get. I've been in two years out of five. No hair yet, but I've heard they pull hair closer to...

  20. School nursing?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Cats, I did school nursing for anyone year about a decade ago. I managed to get hired with only NICU experience at the time which boggles my mind, but it opened the door to get me into peds. And your...

  21. Has anyone gone through this program without false positives?

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

    I'm two years in and I've not had a false positive, but I had a dilute. The only difference that morning was I had my cup of coffee before I left for the lab...that's it. No other beverages, just the...

  22. IOP Questions

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

    Yeah, I didnt have any inpatient requirement. I did PHP and then IOP, so maybe that's why. But I had to do all 12 weeks. But, my state likes you to be out of work for 3 months to 6 months, regardless...

  23. Drug screen left out for 4 days

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Anon2422's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For what it's worth, they likely aren't testing for urine alcohol for a work screening, which is where prolonged sitting may come into play (say if you are spilling glucose in your urine which could...

  24. IOP Questions

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

    I was not allowed to return to work until my IOP was

  25. IOP Questions

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

    This is typical for IOP. Most IOP programs are at least 8 weeks. Mine was 12 weeks. PHPs (partial hospitalization programs) can be 8 hours a day, but they only last a week, and then you are stepped...
