    Have I proceeded correctly?

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

    *** Update *** I went for the evaluation. The man was very nice. I finally got to know my results from the UDS : they were 800:100. I don't know what that means, but he said they were very high. And...

    Bipolar and tpapn

    Persephone Paige replied to Foxynurse5006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've seen ( and heard of a few ) that get arrested, pulled over, intervened on and scream out, "I'M A NURSE!" Like that's going to stop someone from hauling you in? I always cringe and think, "boy,...

    UPDATE to Transportation of Mediction- Narcotics

    Persephone Paige replied to kaitte's topic in Patient Medications

    Even without my history of addiction, I wouldn't transport a patient's narcotics with a drone. All it takes is for a patient to claim they are 1 pill off and your goose is cooked. We have pharmacies...

    Drug diversion

    Persephone Paige replied to Jshaneyfelt's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My thoughts exactly, Hppy. Never missing a shift, staying late, coming in on days off are hallmarks when diversion is suspected. The facility is very often the nurse's 'source,' so it makes sense that...

    Need some guidance

    Persephone Paige replied to doomedinpa's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Rooting for you! I'm guessing they will reinstate. This country still has a long way to go, but it's come farther that I would've ever believed

    Have I proceeded correctly?

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

    I'm not allowed to know my results. Everything I have read says specimen A belongs to 'them,' I guess them is Affinity/IPN. Specimen B belongs to me. I don't want to take possession of the specimen, I...

    Expunged Wet Reckless

    Persephone Paige replied to dreamnursing2's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    This information is not specific to your situation, but it's something to keep in mind: Not all background checks are created alike. The routine AHCA background checks are a day at the beach unless...

    Denied by clinical sites, now what?

    Persephone Paige replied to Aubs9467's topic in LPN to RN

    Contrary to what some may think, nurses are not ruthless. We like to see others succeed. Part of moving forward is taking responsibility for your actions and you've done that. Some will start a thread...

    Have I proceeded correctly?

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

    I keep obsessively checking to see if my PEth has come back. I ordered it through requestatest.com, still nothing. It was done on the 18th, the day I found out I had a positive. It's says 6-10...

    My client gave me bed bugs!

    Persephone Paige replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh lawd! That's terrible! You poor thing, I'd be so upset too. I hope you get what you

    Denied by clinical sites, now what?

    Persephone Paige replied to Aubs9467's topic in LPN to RN

    Hospitals tend to use the 3rd party background checks, so when they enter your information it's like they've hired a private detective. The AHCA background checks will find less on you, they are the...

    Nurses with Visual Impairments

    Persephone Paige replied to Jnprenursing's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm not a visually impaired nurse, but I worked with one. Her mother contracted Toxoplasmosis during pregnancy and she was legally blind. She was able to find work, but not in direct patient care. She...

    Possession charges

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

    Time... Time without any charges, time in a monitoring program. If I had a time machine ( which I don't ), I see you being referred for an evaluation, advised to seek treatment and then completing a...

    Possession charges

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

    I'm afraid you may need to seek employment in another field while you wait. It's because its so recent. Once you get into a monitoring contract, it may grease the wheels a little. But to an employer,...

    Have I proceeded correctly?

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

    I go this Friday for an evaluation. My split screen results still are not back yet. When it first happened I started calling the providers they had given, there was one really close to home. I would...

    Affinity abnormal Opinion 4

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

    I have no 'wisdom' on drug screens anymore. I have operated under the incorrect assumption that if I do what I am supposed to do, and don't do what I'm not supposed to do, all will be well. The only...

    Could my criminal history be grounds to bar me from license in California

    Persephone Paige replied to Guest1063608's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The BONs run the AHCA background checks. I was arrested on a Felony charge, complied with drug court, the charges were dropped and I later applied for expungement and it was granted. That being said,...

    good to know, because it makes a big difference.

    Grad school and OJG exclusion list

    Persephone Paige replied to Sabatino's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There's a form you can fill out, but it's probably going to depend on how long ago whatever happened, happened. You need to get off that list and the only way I know of doing this is by going back,...

    Sick.. need medicine!

    Persephone Paige replied to Nursealc123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Since monitoring I have discovered how well natural remedies work. And there aren't the morning hangovers associated with Nyquil and Benadryl. Saline has been wonderful! I wouldn't do Vicks on my body...

    Have I proceeded correctly?

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

    Being able to afford the storm just happens to be my only defense. And at least it's something... When I was first informed and the email war began, one of the things the lady said to me was, "you...

    Sexual harrassment and erection situations

    Persephone Paige replied to Lilymoonstorm's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think I would accidentally slip and try and keep myself from falling by using the lever for the shower temp. Then, my ailing joints would require me told hold onto the lever in the cold position for...
