    License Renewal

    Persephone Paige replied to DistressedRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have a friend who has a compact license. She transferred seamlessly between Florida and Montana, I believe. In fact she was living in Florida and the Montana DOC was flying her back and forth...

    New nurse struggling

    Persephone Paige replied to texasBSN15's topic in Nursing Career

    Stick it out for a year, if possible. Then, start applying for school health nurse positions. Best of both worlds? I'm going to tell you a little secret that works for me... When I'm in the middle of...

    Three Patients in ICU and Bullied on First Job

    Persephone Paige replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Perhaps I'm naive, but threatening to give you an ugly reference simply for resigning after one year, with a 3 week notice is still bullying. It's a hostile work environment AND an HR liability....

    Monthly self reports

    Persephone Paige replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I completely get it. I'm a bit older now, so my jets have cooled a little and nothing too exciting either way happens. But, you should have seen my self report after I had a false positive for...

    Choosing a facility for eval?

    Persephone Paige replied to StanleyJ's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wanted to add that in my state, you don't have to go to the treatment associated with the evaluator. I went to the detox associated with the evaluator (my insurance covered the detox period), I used...

    Choosing a facility for eval?

    Persephone Paige replied to StanleyJ's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't know how other BONs operate, but I was asked to do a IPN eval by the FBON. Then, IPN (Florida's Intervention Project for Nurses) contacted me with three choices of places I could go. I went...

    What's the deal with asking about what individual tests are for.

    Persephone Paige replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Seeing as how this wasn't even your thread, I think you need to take your own advice. I am a member in good standing here, only an admin can censure

    LOST urine drug test

    Persephone Paige replied to Anon143's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When something has happened that was the fault of the lab, they haven't charged for the service. So that should help... It's just an annoyance, but do drop again if they ask you to. It's probably a...

    What's the deal with asking about what individual tests are for.

    Persephone Paige replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Awfully testy, don't you think? Have fun worrying about something you are powerless over for the next 3-5 years. This isn't our first rodeo, for many of us that took the time to answer. You might not...

    LOST urine drug test

    Persephone Paige replied to Anon143's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you are under contract and don't return to give another specimen, it's non-compliance. Don't draw attention to yourself by not returning, it will bring trouble down on you and cast

    Lost License in 1 state what happens in another?????

    Persephone Paige replied to RNMoogie7800's topic in Nurses Recovery

    ^ I concur. If you run, they will catch you. And it will be worse. Get an attorney ASAP... This will not go

    Denied application in CA... should I appeal or go to another state (Virginia)??

    Persephone Paige replied to Draper11's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    From my time on this site, I have found California to be one of the most forgiving States. It's probably because the charge was so recent. If it were me and I could afford it, I wouldn't abandon this....

    My first experience taking prescribed/needed pain medications in recovery.

    Persephone Paige posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    In the last eleven years I have had several experiences with lack of treatment for legitimate pain associated with documented, confirmed diagnosis of disease or condition. The first six years of this...

    My first experience taking prescribed/needed pain medications in recovery.

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

    I wanted to add that my current IPN facilitator was very supportive too. My previous facilitator would have been dead set against using pain medications. I still loved her, but she had very strict...

    What's the deal with asking about what individual tests are for.

    Persephone Paige replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't know, I don't get it either. There's a rumor going round that the increase in 'special tests' are unearthing participants that were drinking. I have only met one individual who was secretly...

    My first experience taking prescribed/needed pain medications in recovery.

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

    Thanks to all who responded. My fears were that I would need pain relief and not get it. I can't help the things that naturally occur, like Shingles. But I have avoided self care ( needed dental work...

    Does CBD oil show up in drug tests?

    Persephone Paige replied to markko's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Don't do it. My facilitator was just discussing this topic in group. Some of the tests are still showing it as

    IPN new blood testing changes

    They are certain they have done a good deed for us. They should issue food vouchers for the poor people who do

    Curiosity

    Persephone Paige replied to TexNurse777's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am a germaphobe when I pump gas. I have my head hanging out the window, while trying to avoid sniffing the fumes of my alcohol hand sanitizer. I avoid it otherwise, but I envision boogers, feces,...

    Incidentally implicating myself?

    Persephone Paige replied to Serenity188's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've been at this a long time ( I was a class A screw up for a lot of years ), this is my first true sobriety. Just an example: if you stagger a little, or push the gas peddle in you car in the...

    IPN new blood testing changes

    Persephone Paige replied to pinky88's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If I understand correctly, IPN negotiated the costs lower because they have some pull. There are so many of us who go to Labcorp, we are bound to help their revenue. Participants sometimes have...

    Me again! Timeframe question.

    Persephone Paige replied to StanleyJ's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In Florida, IPN gives you a time frame for compliance. Ours was 30 days to get the evaluation ONLY. I had to wait at home for 3 months to get into my treatment
