    The big thing with treatment is it covers THEIR butt. I had been to treatment several times by the time I finally came back to them clean/sober. And although they didn't recommend treatment, I still...

    I have seen it go every way. Unfortunately the majority of my experience with myself and others was after extended periods of drug/alcohol addiction. Those people get referred to treatment. I don't...

    Sorry, I just went back and re-read your posts and saw where you had actually already spoke to an attorney. Was it an attorney specializing in nursing/board issues? You can go onto the Chapman website...

    I don't know guys. They're brewing rocket fuel out of my urine at this point. No one in my group had any ideas about why the levels change, increase, etc... From what I've read bacteria ( I don't feel...

    Hopefully someone will chime in and correct me if I'm wrong... First, I'm sorry this ruined your pinning ceremony. If I understand what you have said you are now what's called, 'board referred.' I'm...

    IPN gave me my Lab results and the values for Etg/Ets are increasing! What was 800/100 is now 1000+/200+! It's been 28 days since I submitted that urine. It was 27 days when I was notified of split...

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

    I have the results of my own PEth that I had pulled. I just can't compare the split screen yet ( if ever ), to see if the 2nd positive was higher than the first. To me that would indicate...

    They don't have anything to lose. I am trying very hard to be diplomatic when writing this and I'm going to go out on a limb and say they just don't care. Why would they? There are plenty of nurses,...

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

    Those are good ideas, Cat. I am currently hounding the evaluator. He hasn't responded the way he did when he was so sure my PEth was going to come back positive. I'm so distrustful now. It's

    What happened? Did they keep refraining you from practice? How were you ever able to complete your contract? You poor thing... that's awful. I will look back over your posts. Thank

    Advice please

    What is the charge? What I have found is that what the charge is makes all the difference. If you were charged with theft, violence, abuse, fraud... those tend to follow you. Even if it was reduced to...

    "They" avoid written documentation at all costs. They do everything by phone call, unless you are being sent a document of specific guidelines to follow and an expiration date. And you can't record...

    Thanks, re1965. But it ain't over yet. I received a call from my case manager at 7:45 am this morning. She was letting me know that the split screen ( the 2nd bottle from the urine submitted on...

    Persephone Paige replied to Nursealc123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I stopped breathing 40 times during a 1 hour section of a steep study. So, I have to be able to breath out of my nose when I sleep. My choices while in monitoring are to stay awake until I get better...

    Persephone Paige replied to Nursealc123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I took one pill at night on the two worst nights, back in February. I didn't see alcohol on the contents of the pill, but I did see Benadryl. I guess we'll see. I declared everything I had ever taken....

    I have severe sleep apnea. My tumors were in my chest, that and weight gain from steroids hasn't helped. When my nose gets stopped up, I can't wear my CPAP. I began sticking Q-tips in my nostrils ( I...

    I'm not sure about Michigan, but most programs are supportive of you getting as much help as you can. How do you think hprp would interfere with your legal stuff? As far as drugs, most all narcotic...

    That's a hard call. You did these things IN nursing school? The BON looks for evidence that you've put this type thing behind you. I'm not going to say you will never sit for boards, but I wouldn't be...

    I'll explain it the way an addictions specialist explained it to me: pain and addiction are two separate issues. I have a friend in horrible pain, she has neurofibromatosis (? spelling ) and she is...

    Anything is possible, I'm in uncharted waters. I'm hopeful that since the evaluator asked for these results specifically that that may hold some
