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

    I'm still growing up ( at 49 :-/ ) it was so hard not to send a copy of that result with an emoji. But, I managed. Sending it to my CM is going to be harder. I think I'll have to include, "You were...

    Option 4

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

    You're lucky Dr. Eatbox. In Florida we aren't allowed to know what they test for or the results if they should come back positive. It's how they keep us off balance. That way if you ever have a...

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

    Just checked requestatest before I signed on, no results yet. I am down to checking it twice a day, morning and evening. Before I was checking compulsively, which was horrible. I went into IPN for...

    My wife won't stay home alone and I don't get to see my family.

    Persephone Paige replied to Emtmurse15's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Holy smokers... Okay, these were my first thoughts: Some people don't know how to be alone. I was an only child, if I learned nothing from my childhood it was how to be alone. My husband came from a...

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

    Persephone Paige replied to dr. eatbox's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Minimum of 2 urines/mo @ $55 per test. Some get random PEth and Hair or Nail. I have been observed and not observed, I could pee in front of anyone and have no

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

    Damned if I know, Cats. They put the disclaimer up after I paid and had the blood drawn. And the office manager of requestatest admitted that, so at least that's something. If she had denied that...

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

    there will be no results from requestatest anytime soon. They just wrote a letter on my behalf to the evaluator stating Labcorp informed them after I had submitted and paid that they were behind 2-3...

    Thank you. I just want to reach through the screen of the requestatest website and shake someone. Hurry up, already. Yes, pure hell is an excellent description. The first week was horrible; no...

    Background check

    Persephone Paige replied to Tipbaby12's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    There are certain convictions where it being dropped to a misdemeanor means nothing. Anything to do with violence, abuse, neglect or theft seem to follow you everywhere you go, forever. Good luck...

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

    It still says " sent out for retest." Or something along those lines... I think they are holding off putting it up. I don't know why and I don't know for sure if I'm even right about that. I spent an...

    Tomorrow is day 10 of the reported 6-10 day business processing time. The customer service of this company must think I'm pathetic. I have sent messages saying, "please, hurry! This is the life ( and...

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

    Thanks, Spanked. This is the worst part; the waiting/silence. If I had an action to do every single day until this is resolved, it wouldn't be as difficult. Because in the silence is judgment ( by...

    Not yet... I'm waiting on my PEth results to come in on Requestatest.com, as soon as they do I'll send them to my evaluator, IPN and then update here. I've been emailing customer service daily......

    My Story: Trying to move to the hospital

    Persephone Paige replied to Reds5588's topic in Nursing Career

    It's not a popular opinion, but I'm gonna say it. Do you think she's thinking, "mom, daycare, what if kids get sick?" And who usually has to call in? Mom... We think employers no longer think this...

    Hi Eris, I don't use a lot of hand sanitizer. The only time I ever use it is in a pinch, when I pump gas (germs) or go to a doc's office, etc. I do remember them saying to avoid it. The interesting...

    My mom did this stuff with my poor grandma. My grandma was tired and would never have admitted to my mother that she had withheld treatment from herself and waited until there was no hope for a cure....

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

    The thing I was most hurt by is that I didn't feel they hoped I was innocent. Why wouldn't they be for me pulling out all the stops? They weren't. It wasn't just an unbiased, no contact referral for...

    Thanks Eris, all information on this is helpful. This experience has solidified in my mind that the accused cannot just sit there, hoping things work out. They won't. I'm still waiting for the results...

    Hi Recovering, Affinity will not give you the option of a PEth, you will only get your regular option only if you self test. I had to go outside Affinity. At first I went to my regular GP for an...

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

    That's exactly what they are saying. A PEth test is only worth something if they order it, only it's not. They just want a person to be scared. If you are scared, you make less informed choices. Or...

    As crazy as this has all been Cats, I have a good feeling. Personally, I'm glad the results were sky high. When the PEth results show up negative ( and it will ), then what? If the results had been...

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

    They collected hair, urine and a PEth test ( this time on a card that blood drops down into 4-5 circles ). So, there will be that wait. I don't know anything about alcohol either. As hard as this...
