Hey all...finished the program today in WA and in shock it really happened! What a LONG road and all the feels, challenges, and crap that goes with it. My advice is to just keep your head down, stay...
Thank you! I know it feels endless (even the last two weeks seemed to drag by LOL) but it will come to an end and and so strangely by the end of the day I could no longer log into the app or site!...
If you have short/long term disability you can go on FMLA/disability to receive the treatment that you need without any questions asked or them asking for medical records. You can take the time to...
Dialysis is a good way to go as they can accommodate many of the restrictions. I was also a wound care nurse at a SNF for two years and enjoyed that as it allowed me to learn a lot about wounds and...
AZRN...feel free to DM me if you want to talk further. The key of advice I can give is to get a lawyer. I got a very good lawyer in CO that did wonders for me and knew all the ins and outs of the...
I did a temporary surrender that allows me to reinstate in 2 years if I want to (I most likely never will). I originally got into trouble in CO and was given 2 years of monitoring but chose not to...
That is not true, necessarily. I voluntarily did a temporary surrender in CO but not before I got my license in WA state. I am in the monitoring program and working as an RN. I am not on the OIG
In my situation I was to monitor in CO for two years but during the lengthy time it took the BON to decide all of that I had moved back to WA state and there was no way I was going to move back to CO....
One of the girls in my peer group just had a baby and they gave her 3 weeks of “interruption” and then she started right back up. I don’t know if it counted against the length of the contract,
did you call TN BON? I had called the legal department for WA BON and spoke to them to make sure licensure would be possible if I pursued it and was told it was which helped me make the decision to go...
I think the first step is to find out if your current state will allow you to monitor in another state. Your case manager should be able to tell you that or the director of your program. If they do...
Hey Austin, no treatment (I wasn't found to have a substance abuse disorder) and didn't have to do a neurocognitive test at all. I started my contract nearly 3 weeks ago and just got my license...
Thank you WAnurse80! I really appreciate all of your info. I just got the approval for my WA license so as soon as it is active on the website I'll start to job hunt. I've been working as a physician...
I am in much the same boat as I just started my contract. I have replaced the following with alcohol free products: mouth wash, hand sanetizer, deodarent, laundry detergent...that's it on that but I'm...
Hey everyone!! SO....my evaluation was sent to the WA BON and the discipline commission board met on Wednesday and my case was presented and they found that I DO NOT have a substance disorder (2...
I know it is all a bit confusing. If you find my original post "at a crossroad" (it's more of a book lol sorry long post) it tells my back story. I originally was in trouble in CO and have discipline...
Well they screwed up!! Lol I knew it was too good to be true!! I got a call last week telling me my case manager didn't see the orders from Colorado so will have to enter into monitoring after all. I...
Thanks guys!! At the Dollar store you can buy the smaller cans of the SF white can monster for a buck and perfect size for a little pick me up here and there so thought I'd
Can they spark a false positive in ETG? I know it may seem another silly question but love monsters(sugar free) and have them time to time but don't want to take any risk. Thanks in advance for what...
Thank you, Cat! I agree that it is sad that I have to ask that as well. I just like one here and there but I have invested in a soda stream (well had one for years just using it more) and my drink of...
I finally stopped at the guy's office that did my evaluation and he was there but seemed too busy and I had another appointment so when I got to my dad's house I called him from his land line (thank...
