1. Sobriety and NCLEX?

   LindsayRNL replied to gchooljian's topic in Recovery

   I just saw this post. Don't say anything!!! I understand you want to be honest, and I did as well but 4 years later I'm still paying for it.

2. Inappropriate nurse support groups

   LindsayRNL replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Recovery

   My old group was tolerable and it was just a social hour. I miss them. This new one is twice as long and I drive an hour just to get there, pay someone to host it, and get nothing from it. Oh well. I don't think cell phones would fly at this meeting.

3. Oh, my aching feet!!!!

   LindsayRNL replied to GrammyCat066's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I just recently purchased a pair of Alegria Keli shoes about 2 weeks ago and love them. I was experiencing the same type of heel pain which prompted me to buy my 1st pair of "nursing" shoes! I love my saucony and have worn them for years but I starte...

4. Inappropriate nurse support groups

   LindsayRNL replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Recovery

   Sorry, had replied to this but it never posted! The facilitator was inquiring about psych medications some of the participants were on and if a participant had said something like "oh, I'm going to see this psychiatrist on Thursday" the following wee...

5. IN LIMBO-BON monitoring from other state?!

   LindsayRNL replied to Companion2thewind's topic in Recovery

   I have successfully transferred to another state's non-disciplinary program. I think it's just really dependent on the program they use and the BON itself.

6. Seeking RN License in NJ & RAMP

   LindsayRNL replied to anurse415's topic in Recovery

   Hey! I just came across this and sorry for the late response. I have met other nurses in NJ with criminal backgrounds that were issued a NJ nursing license. Being in RAMP depends on what and how long ago the offense was. Most likely once you put in y...

7. Narcotic restrictions- how do they work??

   LindsayRNL replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Recovery

   I hope that shadow position worked out for you! When I had a narc restriction, the facility used a pyxis and pharmacy was able to block me from pulling certain meds. I don't have a narc restriction anymore and the facility I'm at uses a narc cabinet ...

8. More IPN stuff

   LindsayRNL replied to RiNlimbo's topic in Recovery

   I hear you loud and clear. It's incredibly frustrating the loops we need to jump through to make it work. We continue to do the right thing but still being looked at under the microscope. I'm so sorry you were so uncomfortable that day. I hope your s...

   LindsayRNL replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Recovery

   Hi. I understand your frustration with being in compliance but getting no credit for it. I'm sorry it has taken so long for you. Stay hopeful, something will come along. Apply to the hospitals anyway. Through the grapevine, I heard the same about a ...

10. Incidental Exposure

    LindsayRNL replied to anurse415's topic in Recovery

    Hi! My monitoring program outlined what products to avoid. Relax and do what you're supposed to do. It's scary to see how many things could potentially could throw a false positive but I haven't changed my routine with hand sanitizer, perfumes and o...

11. Inappropriate nurse support groups

    LindsayRNL replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Recovery

    I'm attending because I am forced to attend to remain in compliance. In the end I take what I can from them and move on. I'm 4 years into the program but some of the topics and details shared and pried from participants I feel are inappropriate.

12. Inappropriate nurse support groups

    LindsayRNL posted a topic in Recovery

    I'm not sure how comfortable I am in my nurse support group. It feels like it's a group therapy session and for me and that is not what I need from this program. I chose it based on proximity to home but I dread going. Just wanted to vent anonymously...

13. Missed opportunities

    LindsayRNL replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Recovery

    I haven't gone on a vacation in 4 years and the one time I did ask for an interruption, it was denied. Loved flying across the country with a rental car in a new city, pressed for time, in the snow, looking for a place to live all while worrying abo...

14. Division of Consumer Affairs

    LindsayRNL replied to Trinayien's topic in Recovery

    I wish I had good news for you or personal experience. I know if you withdraw from the program it's considered non-compliant and reportable to the board. It becomes public information. Maybe contact RAMP to see upon completion if they can facilitate ...

15. Need Help

    LindsayRNL replied to Apple-Core's topic in Recovery

    I'm so sorry you're going through this. I had to shape up because I hit my rock bottom. Continue to emotionally support her but not enable her (no money!). If you're in contact with her, offer to go to NA meetings with her if she would like to see wh...
