  1. License by Endorsement

    LindsayRNL posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Does anyone have any experience with endorsing their license while on contract in another state? How long did it take to obtain the license? I'm transferring from NV to NJ but also willing to be...

  2. Sobriety and NCLEX?

    LindsayRNL replied to gchooljian's topic in Nurses 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

  3. Inappropriate nurse support groups

    LindsayRNL posted a topic in Nurses 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...

  4. Inappropriate nurse support groups

    LindsayRNL replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Nurses 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...

  5. Oh, my aching feet!!!!

    LindsayRNL replied to GrammyCat066's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, 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...

  6. Inappropriate nurse support groups

    LindsayRNL replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Nurses 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...

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

    LindsayRNL replied to Companion2thewind's topic in Nurses 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

  8. Seeking RN License in NJ & RAMP

    LindsayRNL replied to anurse415's topic in Nurses 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...

  9. Narcotic restrictions- how do they work??

    LindsayRNL replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses 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...

  10. More IPN stuff

    LindsayRNL replied to RiNlimbo's topic in Nurses 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...

  11. dayton ohio...

    LindsayRNL replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses 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...

  12. Incidental Exposure

    LindsayRNL replied to anurse415's topic in Nurses 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...

  13. Inappropriate nurse support groups

    LindsayRNL replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Nurses 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...

  14. Missed opportunities

    LindsayRNL replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses 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,...

  15. Division of Consumer Affairs

    LindsayRNL replied to Trinayien's topic in Nurses 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...

  16. Need Help

    LindsayRNL replied to Apple-Core's topic in Nurses 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...

  17. Observed drug screen

    LindsayRNL replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not yet but supposedly it's in the list of options if I am selected. I did get a hair test recently. Expensive and they took a really big chunk of

  18. License by Endorsement

    LindsayRNL replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Someone I know transferred to California and it took about 7 mos for their license to be endorsed but they were already 3 years into their program and California picked up where they left off. On the...

  19. Student nurse in recovery

    LindsayRNL replied to Queenofthesouth24's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm late to the party. I agree with everyone else so far. If there's no conviction, just answer no on your nursing application to the board. Keep your mouth shut about it otherwise you'll be invited...

  20. License by Endorsement

    LindsayRNL replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Nurses Recovery

    NV has updated their policy for drug testing as of May 1st and require a min of 24x per year so it sounds like it is similar to other programs. I still feel for anyone not working or those in states...

  21. License by Endorsement

    LindsayRNL replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Update: NJ license is still pending and RAMP which is the alternative to discipline program has accepted me plus my "time served" in NV. I will pickup where I left off and will finish the remainder of...

  22. Nevada now testing 2x/month and "witnessed" tests

    LindsayRNL replied to dr. eatbox's topic in Nurses Recovery

    NJ is a min of 25x per year. I guess in NJ it's customary for participants to get their peth/blood test after the holidays so that is around $180. Testing uses Quest out here and the first one I was...
