   Please help.

   KatmamaRN replied to HippieGypsyGirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

   I don’t have any answers for your questions as my situation was different, but I do agree with caliotter3 that it might be a good idea to do something different while you rehab. You could still...

   A week later, and the job is done

   KatmamaRN replied to KatmamaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Thanks y’all. It feels good to be done, but I’ll never be the same. It did leave a scar on my psyche in addition to public information that will always be out there. Isn’t it funny...my very...

   A week later, and the job is done

   KatmamaRN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

   One week past my contract date, and I am DONE. Nerve-wracking TIL the end, to say the least, but 5+ years of mental stress can now be put behind me. It was very matter-of-fact, as I have no history...

   Well I’ll be!

   KatmamaRN replied to KatmamaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Thanks y’all. I’m two days past my “end” date but I still haven’t heard anything. This test usually takes a week, so I figured this would run into next week. In my mind, it’s already

   Any SC participants out there?

   KatmamaRN replied to Hunter67's topic in Nurses Recovery

   My assumption is they test for alcohol with every test, but especially if alcohol was a DOC, I’d expect

   Well I’ll be!

   KatmamaRN replied to KatmamaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Thanks y’all! You’re absolutely right, and I’m normally so patient. My hubby tried to make me feel better about it too. We have a weekend planned that I was hoping to relax a bit and even...

   Well I’ll be!

   KatmamaRN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

   Two days before my contract is up and I’m selected to test. Results usually take a week to come back. I’m not sure what this means as far as my finish date, but I will NOT be a happy camper if...

   Down to single digits....

   KatmamaRN replied to KatmamaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Did they make you wait on test results to “officially” be done. I had never considered that until someone mentioned it here. I know I’m clean, but I don’t want to wait one more day beyond...

    Down to single digits....

    KatmamaRN replied to KatmamaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you! It’s sooooo close. I kinda knew what to expect with my old case manager but she left a year ago. I’ve never even really talked to the new cm but she seems more strict. I can’t...

    ...and still haven’t tested since August. What were your last couple of months like? I feel sure they’ll test me at least once more before it all ends, but they don’t have long. I’m antsy...

    And just like that... it's over.

    KatmamaRN replied to TexasMel's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congrats! I can’t wait to taste that freedom. I’m down to 10 days and haven’t tested since August. Now I’m freaked out that I would have to wait past my “date” for any results if they...

    I feel like I'm losing control

    KatmamaRN replied to PsychRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First, I’m sorry you’re having a tough time. Life sure does suck sometimes and throws us curveballs we don’t desire or expect. I agree with keeping this under wraps. Perhaps some alcohol...

    Do you miss it?

    KatmamaRN replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I do miss my doc, ambien, which is not what I got in trouble for (I was positive for opiates on the job). I’ve had to be on opiates while in this program, with permission, and I didn’t have any...

    NOW what?? Terrified...

    KatmamaRN replied to erocafeller's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When I appeared “sleepy” on the job, I was hauled off to employee health and peed in a cup and forced to spend the night at the hospital (they wouldn’t allow me to drive home). It came back...
