Indiana

Hey! There is a great one at St. Suzannas, in Plainfield on Tuesday nights at 7. Also, a great Zoom nurse support lead by the same therapist on Thursday night at 7. Please PM if you have any questions. I’ve been in IPRP for about 2 years now, and...

Yes! All of that. The start is sooo scary. You have it though. As a friend in my nursing support says, “one foot in front of the other.”I’ve been through the same, and am happily in a great nursing job. That shame will bring you down, but no ever...

No, they will just tell you it is completely random. I’ve went 6 weeks with no test, then a few in a couple weeks. Sometimes they are back to back. Unfortunately there is no pattern, or way to prepare. I do know of people who were chose 2 days in...

I’m not familiar with that area, but keep trying.I have heard from many others to get through the first interview, then when they ask if there is any more questions.... mention the program. There may be some no’s but eventually you will get a yes!

Hi, I don’t know what part of Ky you’re in, but I have known several nurses in the program work for Jewish hospital. I’m in Indiana now, but I know Jewish will work with KARE program.

My case manager let me pick from anyone. I’m in for diversion, but my case is complicated, as it was more of a psych issue than anything, which is why I wasn’t required to do inpatient or IOP.

I was able to start working right away. Some I know had to wait until their therapist cleared them to work, and it took a while to get into a therapist. May want to start calling therapist around you, and have an appointment scheduled (it took my f...

Hi! I’m in IPRP too. I started about a year and a half ago when it was IPRP. You have to go to the building, no exceptions now. I was evaluated by my case manager, answered a series of multiple choice questions and explained my situation. They g...

We are on lockdown (Indiana), and our tests are suspended until it’s lifted. Rightfully so! Most of the outpatient labs here are working on Limited schedules (if at all), so I don’t even know where I would go test, if that wasn’t the case. I wouldn...

Also, If you are anywhere near Plainfield, there is a great nursing support meeting there. I can give you info if you are near there. That has been the biggest help for me. Talking to others who are going through it, or who have been through it. ...

It’s an easy process. You call and set a date to come in. I don’t know where you are located, but They are located in Valparaiso. Once there they will ask what happened, just be honest. You will go through a series of computer questions about rel...

Agreed, it’s my biggest fear in this program. Keep us posted on how it goes. Keep fighting the fight.

That could mean bacteria, like UTI. That’s the first thing that comes up in a google search. Have you had any tests since then?

Yes! Keep us posted on how it goes! ❤️

Ugh! I can’t believe that you have to do monitoring after 3 1/2 yrs! Can you get a lawyer and go to the settlement conference to negotiate it? It just seems excessive after all of this time, especially when you have proof of your sobriety. May be...

Yes you can. Like the above poster said, you may end up in monitoring upon completion, but it’s definitely doable. Congrats on being sober. You have the hardest part done already.

I too, love the smell of iodoform! Lol That is so weird. I can’t tell you if they would report you for that, but I certainly wouldn’t think they would. And they told you this is why you were fired?

What did you do about the letters from the AG? Did you answer? Report that you were in Monitoring? I’m so confused by this whole process.

I just got my RMA, and mine is worded the same as yours. My case manager said mine was 1 yr on the phone, so I imagine yours is the same.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case. In Indiana it seems that everyone is being charged (they are really cracking down). It usually takes about 3-4 months (from what I have read). I wouldn’t speak to an investigator, because everything you say can (...

Honestly, for you... it has been so many years. If they thought you were a problem certainly they would done something before this. Go in there, and show them that you are sober, with everything you have done... I mean everything. Have respect, a...

I am just starting the process, so I am probably not much help. I did call the assistance program the day I was fired and got in ASAP. I only did this because I heard that helps when dealing with the board. I would make sure I have all of the docu...

I believe it depends on what state you are in, and the board requirements. Most are within 90 days from my research. Are you in a monitoring program? If not, that may be a requirement. May want to get advice from an attorney that deals with the bo...

Went over my contract with INPRP case manager. I will have narc. Restrictions. I wonder why you didn’t get any? I would talk to your case manager. Maybe because you stated you didn’t work with them they left that out of your RMA?

Looking for nursing support groups in Indiana. Southern Indiana (or Indianapolis) I go back and forth. Thanks
