    YourFriendlyAdvocate replied to Scared2020's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Nope, no way I’m doing another 5-6 years. I got a much better job where I make as much as I did whilst doing 1/3 of the work (edit) from home. Oh and I can have a drink if I want.. they spy on...

    YourFriendlyAdvocate replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This would be great, I completely agree. For an agency that governs over exhausted and burnt out nurses they sure seem to care very little about their mental

    How did you manage all the drug test payments? And are you not worried about the 3-5 years of monitoring they'll force you to do

  9. Kentucky Board KARE

    YourFriendlyAdvocate replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I got in trouble 9-23-2015, got reported to the board of course, etc etc. The board ordered that I seek evaluation by a board certified evaluator AND partake in a 4 week IOP program. However, I didn't...

  10. Kentucky Board KARE

    YourFriendlyAdvocate replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Absolutely nothing. You email your CM and tell them you missed, why you missed it and what you’ll do in the future to prevent missing again. Then the missed check-in goes into your “file”....

    It sure does get better or at least we learn to live with it. I was in tears upon signing the contract and extremely bitter the first year. Thankfully I was able to put my anger in check (unlike the...

  15. Kentucky Board KARE

    YourFriendlyAdvocate replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is a nightmare! I was a nurse for 5 years before I had to go into the program. My case manager and the program director sat me down in a small room to go over the kare program. They offer you some...

  17. Kentucky Board KARE

    YourFriendlyAdvocate replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm nearing 3 years into the program and I'm finally figuring out that KARE is not a recovery program for nurses but strictly a monitoring program. I always understood that the rigorous requirements...

    No way. Ive never heard of anyone being subjected to that. Must be expensive as
