So, I posted several months ago. I self reported a positive drug screen 5 months ago. I don't do drugs, it wasn't an intentional thing. Let's just leave it at that. BON is finally looking at my case....
That's amazing! Best of luck to you! Fingers crossed that's the last of your BS. I literally quit nursing and am doing real estate. Much better market and way less stress!
congratulations!! I hope your license is clear and active as soon as possible, the DOH is beyond slow, especially to reverse a wrong! I’m guessing doing anesthesia with that user name ??? I hope you...
That’s amazing LMA! Did they take your IME? Or did you go to their person and also get cleared? Congratulations! It’s so hard to get out of their clutches once you are on their radar. Best of luck...

Look at the credentialing questions carefully. Some ask if you've ever had formal discipline, some ask if you've ever been investigated. Sounds like you're in the clear either way since there's no...
Hi @mamuchi7 well my lawyer and I self reported to the BON, NOT IPN. There’s a huge difference in Florida. I then got an IPN evaluation on my own, which is hard to do. I googled IPN evaluators to...

To the OP- you wonder why this forum seems to be “the BON is out to get us”. This crap is why. The BON is not there for nurses, it’s to protect the public. Most BON push all discipline to the...

I worked with a provider who did IPN evaluations. Let's just say he got out of it because of the corruption. He wanted to help patients and prescribed them things he thought would help. IPN tracks the...
@Persephone Paige I have definitely considered it. After speaking to the investigator, he said most likely my license would not be suspended because of the circumstances around my case. Plus they have...
IPN will give you a list of 3 IPN approved evaluators. Most have financial incentive to suggest as much monitoring as possible, especially if they own an outpatient rehab.. That being said do your...
This is a really tough position to be in. Even if you're upfront and honest, it may end up backfiring. I'm fighting the IPN battle. You do not want to be caught up in this. They would tell you you...
@ruby_janeIPN called me, so I had to respond. I could have just made them speak with my lawyer directly, but I spoke with my lawyer and she told me my options. IPN was given my contact info from the...
So I spoke with my lawyer and she suggested "deferring" the IPN referral and deal with the Investigator/BON. I spoke with the investigator and gave him my evaluation I've already had done. He said...
So I had a positive drug screen. Got an IPN evaluation per my lawyer but IPN hasn't gotten involved yet. I self reported to Florida BON. Just waiting to hear back. Negative hair and urine test given...
So even with an IPN evaluator that was supposed to not be associate with the system, they suggested one year of monitoring because they couldn't rule out "cannabis substance use disorder". and you're...
OMG that sounds terrible RN1965! Similar situation for me. I'm really hoping I don't get stuck in IPN because of a stupid stupid mistake. I'm glad I have witnesses that signed affidavits about what...
Without getting into too many details, I do have a good defense for how it happened. I dont smoke. It was truly accidental. I know it sounds like a excuse but thankfully I have a witness. I just had...
