    If I ever do get out, I don't know how I will ever write a letter about the 'good' they've done for me. 1. Forced a diagnosis of high functioning ASD then refused to allow me to hunt for a job better...

    It really does help to go to Voc Rehab. They can help offset many of the costs associated with the monitoring programs. And I'm meeting with a job person (whatever that is) Monday. I was diagnosed...

    Hey all, I've made it through orientation. After 22 years away from the bedside, I'm gonna be on my own for the very first time this coming Thursday. My job to work off my narcotic restriction is a...

    Still no notices showing up in my inbox. In case anyone stops by, my advice at this time is to descend on Vocational Rehabilitation. Tell them you are with IPN and that some have already begun seeking...

    “No-result”

    Persephone Paige replied to Jjpount862's topic in Nurses Recovery

    On Affinity, 'no-result' for me has just meant that they haven't posted the results yet. Sometimes they lose specimens (it's happened to my friend more than once) and refund the $$, or fail to store...

    Persephone Paige replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    This is going to be another unpopular comment, but we're not allowed to be impaired physically, either. We are not allowed to be impaired from chemotherapy, we are not allowed to be impaired from...

    Narc Restrictions?

    Nothing counts until your are actually in a monitoring program, but it looks good that you have obtained employment where there are no narcs. My guess is 'yes' to the narc restriction, since diverting...
