    Curiosity

    Persephone Paige replied to TexNurse777's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've never done it. I've heard horror stories though. Any wacky readings are seen as 'altering' the integrity of a specimen and counted as a positive. I've seen dummies try and give dog urine....

    Incidental Exposure

    Persephone Paige replied to anurse415's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There's a nurse on here named Hppygrateful, or something along those lines. She's done all kinds of research on this topic. Hopefully she'll chime in at some point. I live in Florida and they have had...

    First, CONGRATULATIONS on keeping your **** relatively together! Second, I'm sorry you had to go through all that. People in the medical profession can in general be *******s. And welcome to our...

    Anyone else being GPS tracked?

    Persephone Paige replied to RN0904's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It would be interesting to see what they say about those of us who leave our phones at home. I frequently have my phone, but I also have no qualms about leaving it at home if it needs to be charged. I...

    Can't Find A Job, Help!!!

    Persephone Paige replied to caporalekristen's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Try and just get your foot in the door somewhere. Even if it isn't nursing right away, work as a PCT, phlebotomy, etc... It's counts as clinical and it will give the institution a chance to get to...

    Failed preemployment drug test in Florida

    Persephone Paige replied to SimplyMe561's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wouldn't report myself to the board. If you are self reporting to IPN, you are doing everything you've been instructed to do. IPN is in lieu of reporting to the

    Complicated background, should I go to nursing school?

    Persephone Paige replied to 2012bar's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You will probably hear many different opinions, but mine is as follows: Working for/getting a job at a hospital is not proof of continuous sobriety. Lots of active addicts successfully hide their...

    Californians with Convictions

    Persephone Paige replied to Guest1007726's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'm also sad to say this but I think you will face great adversity with those charges. I have a drug arrest ( just an arrest, no conviction ) where the charges were dropped and I had the arrest...

    At a crossroad

    Persephone Paige replied to Jas10's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They can take your license, they can't take your education. You can and are using it with a great deal of success. If monitoring will make it impossible for you to survive financially, consider other...

    TPAPN HELP

    Persephone Paige replied to Scared-RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You'll do fine. It will take forever, but you've done nothing so horrible yet that it can't be fixed. Just buckle up and get ready for the long ride. Best

    VA healthcare system

    Persephone Paige posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey all ~ Anyone know if the government/VA system in Florida is IPN friendly? Or any State, really. I've put in an application with a primary care where I live and was just wondering if I even have a...

    Need Help

    Persephone Paige replied to Apple-Core's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Very sorry for what you are going through... Death is always a possibility with addiction and addicts aren't oblivious to this, they've simply made the choice to risk it. I agree with everyone who has...

    Inappropriate nurse support groups

    Persephone Paige replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My comment disappeared. The inmates are running the asylum in my group. We haven't had a facilitator for the last 3/4 groups and we're only getting a $10 discount. On boy, isn't that

    So much anger

    Persephone Paige replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Anger is short lived for me, I burn out. I'm not an angry individual by nature, meaning I can get angry, but the anger fades. What I feel is weariness. The fall out of a recent, out of the blue...

    Pending Felony

    Persephone Paige replied to CodeQueenRN22's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    What were you trying to avoid being apprehended for? I looked it up and it says person is tipped off, or does whatever to avoid being taken into custody. So there's another charge and then trying to...

    Failed breathalyzer

    Persephone Paige replied to remorse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Dear God, alcohol was never my thing but reading this scares me. I do remember my step-daughter reeking of alcohol after a couple days of partying. She was very sober when we confronted her, but...

    Hprp special option test on probation

    Persephone Paige replied to RNEulogy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had to do all the special options even though I wasn't on probation. Urine, blood, hair, nails... the whole shebang with my entrance evaluation. I had a recent evaluation for a 'positive' etoh and...

    The Business of Recovery

    Persephone Paige replied to mimifromtx's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had a recent "positive" for alcohol. After I completed the evaluation I let about 10 days go by ( I think the evaluator has two weeks to submit his report ) and started harassing his office for a...
