That's the damn truth!!!!

Thank you Lisacar130.

I was referred to IPN years ago and didn't follow through. Raised my kids and had another career and now how the means to do IPN to get back into nursing, just want to do some part time nursing. Went through treatment back then but didn't do IPN. Course my license was suspended since I didn't do IPN so I have to get IPN eval , etc. before requesting a hearing before the FL BON to get reinstated. . From what I am finding out through research is that IPN is in bed with the majority of these evaluators that of course are connected with their own treatment centers that of course they recommend you go to. They are all corrupt as hell!!! The more diagnoses they c an tag on you, the higher level of treatment they can recommend, and the more lab tests/frequency they can justify, and the more $$$MONEY$$$ is made!!! The corruption runs deep and probably even extends out into the Board of Nursing. Yes there are legitimate nurse and cases that need it. Of course I knew I would need to be monitored and would get the 5 year standard contract, yada, yada, yada will all the bells and whistles that everyone gets. I do not need Something is seriously corrupt in this whole system and I am going to get to the bottom of it. Now that I am retired I have the all the time in the world and all the means and resources to research this and dig in deep and work on getting changes made to the corrupt system. I am hearing WAY too many stories similar to mine.

Nurse EmRN-can you please pass on the names of any attorneys that you recommend? I need to get advice from an attorney regarding IPN.

Congratulations! Great news.

Share with me all your knowledge, links to articles, studies, and any other info you have about the Peth laboratory test. I'm an old timer RN recovering addict/alcoholic. 15 years clean and sober. Had IPN eval a few months back at BoardPrep in Tampa and nail tox, urine tox both came back clean but blood peth was positive. Been clean and sober for 15 years now. Labs were collected at time of eval by BoardPrep staff and procedure was lax but at the time I was more worried for them than for me. When I popped positive I started reviewing the whole visit in my head and something really shady is going on there and with IPN. Share your thoughts and info with me please.

Thanks. Yes me and the other person who recently posted requested ours be deleted. Didn't realize the additional replies would be as well.

I'm a newbie RN to IPN 2018 as the previous time I never followed through with an eval. So far this time has been beyond a crappy experience. Had eval a few months back at BoardPrep in Tampa. Complete urine and nail tox results all came back negative. Peth came back positive and there is no way it is correct. I am an old timer 12 step hard core recovering addict and alcoholic with 15 years clean and sober. Board Prep collected my labs at the time of eval and their collection process was not per protocol to say the least. Could kick my own a*s for not bringing it up right away but I knew I'd was completely clean so didn't care. My thoughts at the time were just that they were way too lax in watching me. So I want to hear from other IPN nurses out there. Please share your experiences with me. I gotta post some more in here so I can earn the ability to PM. Thanks for reading and share your stories with me.

Does anyone know how we go about getting our records from IPN?

Very interesting information catsmeow1972. Thanks for the support and good advice. We got in contact with each other now so I told her to delete her comments too. I'm finding as I research that the corruption is even deeper than I ever could have imagined.

Persephone I'm looking for your comment back to me about Health Care Connections' program but I can't find it. Tell me again about them will ya I need that info so I can look into it. I'm not too familiar with this site yet and how to get around. Thank ya. Sidenote, did you happen to go to college at UF?

I'm an older RN, what the h*#l is a brainsheet?

Hi there. I'm new to this forum. Question: Anyone out there that has had a bad experience with IPN of Florida with an initial evaluation done by BoardPrep in Tampa?
