Hey everyone. I am a board ordered nurse. Been in a monitoring program and working in a psych facility for a year now. I’m considering going back to NP school which would have me graduating in two years (the same time I am finished with monitoring.) ...

Svetlana, oh this gives me so much hope. Thank you. I was hoping the omnicell had this option.

Currently on a narc restriction and working at a psychiatric facility. We got a new CEO who is a big jerk and doesn’t want to continue my employment due to my board order. We have another nurse in recovery on a board order who he also wants to termin...

Has anyone ever had to do an observed urine drug screen at Quest lab?

Congrats!!! What job did you get? I have applied everywhere and still no luck with finding a job. I'm frustrated and feel like giving up. Any advice?

Hello! I just completed IOP treatment and can finally go back to work. My case manager told me there are no restrictions on my license until I get a board order. I asked her how long this can take and she replied "if I had a crystal ball I would tel...

Cn anyone explain to me the different drug testing options 1-4 and what they each mean? Also... how often do you guys get hair and blood tested? Just trying to budget all this out and see what I will be paying each month. Thanks!

My DOC was opiates. At the time, I was working ER. I'm almost done with my outpatient treatment where they diagnosed me with "mild opiate disorder" in my evaluation. No kicking and screaming. I have been extremely cooperative. Just gonna try to keep ...

I know we can't give legal advice on this page but I am a travel nurse that got caught diverting in SC. I just had another state send me a letter in the mail saying that they are investigating me. Has anyone had experience with this and allow me to c...

So even if I'm in a monitoring program in one state.... bc another state is involved and i can't do two monitoring programs at once.... I will still have a red mark on my license forever? So what's the point of me even going through this hell for 5 y...

So when I'm done with my 5 year sentence in the SC monitoring program... Can I practice again in other states within my compact license or am I always forced to practice in SC the rest of my life?

So if I have multiple disciplinary actions from different states what does that mean? I'm already enrolled in a monitoring program and treatment.

What about criminal charges in another state? Could this turn into a federal case?

Hey guys! Still waiting to hear about my charges regarding drug diversion. It's been almost two months now and it's been crickets over here. When I was confronted by the hospital they had a police officer there to take a statement from me and said t...

No! The police officer took a statement from me... said she'd get back to me within the next week... and I've heard nothing.

Hey guys. I've exhausted my bank account with lawyer fee, evaluation fee, and drug screens. I have no income right now and won't be able to look for a job for at least 2 months while I'm going through outpatient treatment. So bills are adding up and...

Hey everyone! Been a trauma nurse for almost 5 years now and really feeling the burn. I've become very interested in medical sales and wondering if anyone has any experience with this. Any advice? I'm not currently working as a nurse right now becaus...

Thank you so much!

You guys are so incredibly helpful and I appreciate it so much. We have gotten rid of cable. I've done little things like cut out getting my hair and nails done, we've stopped going out to eat, I've submitted a forbearance application on my student l...

Shew. Honestly guys... it makes me wonder if this darn program is even worth it. I'm constantly looking at other options. As much as I love being a nurse... I'm looking at these five years of hell and financial struggle and wondering if it's even wor...

Hey everyone! I am brand spankin new in recovery and just signed my contract last week. I am in recovery for opioid use. I understand the reason behind not using any mood altering substance while in the program. However, just because we understand s...

I would NOT tell them. You don't know for certain that you will get tested. Take a deep breath. If you do get tested, it may not be the one that test for alcohol. I'm also new to the program and I'm in SC. I don't know the consequences for positive a...

This was so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much

Yes I did mine today. Mine was thankfully a very short (2 hour) eval and I was told I have a mild opioid disorder. I have never heard of a five day eval?
