From the prices looks like a blood and urine in one day?

I had mine at a different lab but mine took less than a week to result

Yes! I’m out! I had to complete the three letters and survey as previously stated. So I got my letter that I was up for review about two months before my end date. From that time it took about three weeks to get all my letters. That being said my fac...

Hi Bestie! I’m curious about this as well. I’m almost at the same stage of my completion. I only know of one other person who has completed recently and they did have a large increase in specialty testing prior to release. Also they had to write a pe...

I know someone in Florida who was reported to monitoring after voluntarily seeking treatment. I’m assuming California would be no different. Please don’t let that stop you, but maybe there is something you can do to prevent the fact that you are a nu...

Our facilitated group meetings are online until further notice. As far as I know this is optional per IPN, not sure what other groups are doing. Everything else is business as usual.

Hello all! I am about to start working on a med/surg unit this week. I am concerned about the frequency with which I will be expected to use the alcohol based foam for hand hygiene. The facility does not want nurses to use hand sanitizers not provide...

My fiancé is in PRN, he’s an out of work pharmacist, he just got selected for a hair, urine, and blood test for one day. Over four hundred dollars. He makes 14 dollars an hour.

I held a non nursing job for 8 years after surrendering my license due to diversion. The company I worked for had no idea about my past. However working in a school system may have more in depth background checks, so I’m not sure.

I’ve got a ton of hair but even still I have weird tufts that stick out because of all these tests. And I’m getting married in February. I’m embarrassed to get my hair done/styled and have to explain all these missing chunks. It’s humiliating....

And today I’ve been selected for my 8th hair test! This is getting ridiculous....

So I interviewed probably close to 20 times. Some times I disclosed IPN, sometimes I didn’t. The job I have now I didn’t disclose until I was offered the position. But I know other people who disclosed at the interview for the same company and they g...

And sorry I think my first hair test was less than three months after signing... no dilutes or abnormals for me either...

There is no reason I’ve been sober six years this August, but my nursing license is newly active. I know people with the same DOC who have had no hair tests in the same time frame. Just a money grab from IPN because they can do as they please...

Since I started in April 2018 they hair test me every three months like clockwork.

I’m getting married in a few months. Anyone ever get a monitoring interruption for a one day special occasion from IPN? I’d hate to miss my own hair appointment because I got selected for a hair test that day.... you just never know! And last time I ...

Thanks everyone! I guess I am apprehensive because the wedding is happening literally two blocks from my apartment. So I won’t be traveling at all but it’s an afternoon wedding so I want to have time for hair makeup photos and all that good stuff. I ...

I guess it couldn’t hurt to ask, the worst thing they can say is no...

I don’t know if it’s even worth it to ask.

You’re lucky I surrendered my license for five years and they made me take the NCLEX again in addition to a refresher before I could join a monitoring program.

I work on a med/surg/tele unit. Omnicell blocks out anything narcotic so I cannot pull it. All charge nurses are away and try not to assign me pain management or ETOH withdrawal patients. I have to find the charge or another RN to pull these meds for...

After applying and interviewing for eight long months, I have finally got an offer with a hospital that has even been cleared by IPN. However, I am nervous about clearing the background check because my monitoring in a previous state is through the B...

Your email didn’t work, I sent you a private message!

I took an 8 year break and it came back to me remarkably quickly. I did extend my orientation longer than probably was necessary, but it helped me to feel more confident and comfortable.

I’m in central Florida, Orlando Health is the hospital system and they are super IPN friendly, best of luck to you both!
