1. Pennsylvania RN with first dui help with PNAP

   Cgritz77 replied to Jhope41831's topic in Recovery

   Hello, I am in PNAP for the same thing. First time DUI. This is definitely not fair at all. I've been in it since mid-September. It really does suck. I have not worked for almost a whole year. Sorry I can't help you on the non nursing job front. I wa...

2. Medical coding/billing for RNs

   Cgritz77 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello all, I am interested in possibly obtaining a certificate in medical coding/billing in addition to my RN license. There is a community college near me that offers online courses and prepares students to take the coding exam. I would like to cont...

3. Online RN-BSN for recovering nurses

   Cgritz77 replied to Cgritz77's topic in Recovery

   Through my state board. I was board ordered to do the program, so that's what I am doing. I actually ended my search, however, because I figure it's better to just wait to finish at Grand Canyon since I only have 2 courses left, rather than spend a t...

   TravelingRN21 I'm also in Pa. You will most likely get Dr. ****** ******** for your eval from the board since you're from Pittsburgh. I'm about 2 hours from there, and that's where they told me to go. I hired two separate attorneys. One for the DUI a...

   EXACTLY! Don't try to tell me these "approved" psychiatrists don't get some kind of financial incentive by referring people to the program. Absolute bullsh!t.

   Cgritz77 replied to kellynn74's topic in Recovery

   No problem! We face enough judgment with this crap. Ugh yeah just keep your head down and push through. I actually had a DUI in April 2017. So they got me for that. A first time DUI with no prior issues, but what can you do? I had a lawyer, tried to ...

   Cgritz77 replied to kellynn74's topic in Recovery

   Oh yeah definitely do NOT trust them!!! If you can get an attorney do it! They are not your friend. They will pretend they are, but they aren't! The best policy for the evaluation is to say as little as possible and make everything sound super positi...

10. My probation begins Nov 26. Advice?

    Cgritz77 replied to taylorthenurse's topic in Recovery

    1.) I'm in Pa, and my state works with PNAP. You should find out what your state's monitoring program is and give them a call as a new referral. They can assign you a case manager from there. They may send you a letter, but I recommend being proactiv...

    Cgritz77 replied to kellynn74's topic in Recovery

    Hello, Who is doing the chemical dependency evaluation? A caseworker or a psychiatrist? Also, sadly, it is difficult to further your education. I have been reaching out to colleges like crazy over the last few days to finish my BSN. There are only a ...

    Cgritz77 replied to iconicqueen's topic in General Nursing

    Hello, You made it through nursing school and passed the NCLEX and started working as a nurse!! That's something to be proud of! I had bad anxiety when I first started out too. Nursing is not easy, but it does get easier the more experience you gain....

13. Really need someone..

    Cgritz77 replied to Glb12287's topic in Recovery

    Hello, I am very sorry to read your situation. Unfortunately, these programs seem for most to be a lot of crap that finances them and the boards. I had a DUI two years and a half years ago and my program just got started 2 months ago. I think it depe...

14. Online RN-BSN for recovering nurses

    Cgritz77 replied to Cgritz77's topic in Recovery

    Thank you for the kind words! I contacted Chamberlain through a live chat and only asked if they would accept nurses with a restricted license and they said no, but I didn't get a chance to explain my situation so maybe if I do that they will conside...

    Ugh yeah they really are. All about their reputation. Like I got a DUI 2 years ago and I'm the scum of the earth now even though I'm in full compliance with my program and a very good student.
