    Feeling lack of respect

    Persephone Paige replied to Valcorie34's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Are you by any chance young? I have found that no matter how 'good' you are, if you have youth on your side they will work you like a dog in the positions older nurses may no longer wish to tackle....

    without a job until after new years

    Persephone Paige replied to RN252's topic in Nursing Career

    Why not go for broke and rob a bank? Sit down, write out a good plan and execute it. If it works out you'll only have to do it once, thus lessening your odds of coming in contact with a cop. And...

    DWI in New Jersey, Application Under Legal Review

    Persephone Paige replied to Lime Headed's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, get an attorney. Nobody needs to know you were abusing them. They were legally prescribed to you and you just weren't prepared for how strong they were. End of story. Good

    DWI in New Jersey, Application Under Legal Review

    Persephone Paige replied to Lime Headed's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Were the prescription drugs prescribed to you? If they were, there's a chance you could just claim a huge error in judgment and inexperience with the effects of prescription narcotics. If they were...

    Missing a test

    Persephone Paige replied to Red<nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Persephone Paige replied to 317171k's topic in Nurses Recovery

    One more thing I forgot to mention is that there are a few nurses in my group who were addicted to more 'off the beaten path' stuff. Some of the drug screens are geared to pick up drugs like Ambien,...

    Persephone Paige replied to 317171k's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi New (317171k), First thing to remember is that all States have their own ways of doing things. Perhaps a member from your State will have some experience, or know someone who's had a similar...

    PENDING CHARGES -Texas

    Persephone Paige replied to Dsmith918's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Were you arrested? I am not an attorney, an attorney is who can best help you. It seems like you have two separate incidents involving domestic violence type charges. If it were one charge that was...

    PA: State Cites WilkesBarre General "Systemic" Failure to Provide Adequate Nursing Staff

    Persephone Paige replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So I guess they care most about the bottom line, as usual. Who cares about the overworked nurses. Everyone who works at this little hospital I speak of says it's ordinarily a great place to work. But...

    Can't find an IOP

    Persephone Paige replied to StanleyJ's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You don't need to, I'm sure it's very similar to my own response when I was told to get a second mortgage on my home to finance treatment. What most of us don't have is the luxury of time. We need to...

    PA: State Cites WilkesBarre General "Systemic" Failure to Provide Adequate Nursing Staff

    Persephone Paige replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Why don't the hospitals fill the positions? That's what I've never understood. When I was still searching for employment I applied to a little hospital just a few minutes from where I live. The...

    Concerned about social media use by nurses, non-hospital staff

    Persephone Paige replied to guest17's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    That sounds insane. I wouldn't even be friends on FB with people from work, let alone patients. When they ask me I say I don't have an account. This will eventually bite them in the bum, just be glad...

    Can't find an IOP

    Persephone Paige replied to StanleyJ's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You don't have to do anything. You only need comply if you still wish to work. If you can afford to stay local, not work and pay what they ask, of course that would be ideal. I don't know how they do...

    There are lots of places, you may have to go out of State. You can fill out forms for scholarships at treatment centers, you may have to take a number though. Lots of people want them... And be ready...

    Article about a doctor who went through recovery

    Persephone Paige replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is interesting. MAT was not the way for me, I tried and continued to use/abuse it for many years. And despite what the professionals claim, there is marked withdrawal and it's very hard to get off...
