Thank you! Do you know if the person doing the evaluation has to be a certain kind of doctor or have a certain specialty? Or will the physician at the treatment center suffice? I know I’m being paranoid but I’ve read such horror stories about the BON....

Well.. the person I spoke with at the board told me to go ahead and seek treatment now before the board makes a decision or even conducts the investigation so that they make the decision favorably if I’ve already done treatment. So I’m wondering.. she said as long as it’s accreditted etc the facility I choose would be fine but she personally recommended inpatient. Well I can’t afford inpatient. I just don’t want this to come back and bite me if I do IOP and then the board comes back and says I need to do something else

Oh wow. What state are you in?? Where you able to work the entire time? Did you have to do outpatient treatment also? Thanks for your feedback!

Hi all, First time post here. Same story as just about everyone else.. I got termed from my job of four years April 2018 for “suspected diversion” but no positive drug screen etc. moved on to a different hospital and got fired in November for diversion with a positive drug test. Had to voluntarily surrender my license in that state (have a compact license and that’s not my home state). So I just signed the paperwork on that. I went ahead and self reported to my home state (MS) (and I’ve been going to AA/NA meetings for over a month now really trying to show my commitment here) yesterday. The woman emailed me back and said there is no recovering nurse program anymore but there are still monitoring programs and she will forward my information to the correct person, an investigation will ensue, a case worker will get involved, and the correct division will be assigned to my case. Does anyone have any idea how this works since there is no program any more? I’m looking into IOP in my area to work around my work schedule (another problem... current employer. Doesn’t know anything about this issue. And I don’t know if they’re going to work with me or not. Or how to approach them) because they did say i can continue to work until the investigation is over. She said I did the right thing and was on the right path and all that... any advice here? Thanks in advance.
