   somedudeinarizona replied to LaylaR's topic in Recovery

   You're really new to this program. Yes, it is expensive as hell! But, the saying that really pissed me off in the beginning was "it will get better", it really does. I've nearly a year into this, and a lot of restrictions will be lifted soon. I have ...

2. HR wants meeting or report me to BON

   somedudeinarizona replied to AbbeyR's topic in Recovery

   Hi, I would for sure talk with a lawyer again. I understand how you feel, I thought about leaving the profession behind a few times, but I really enjoy what I do. The thing though, is that even if you say f it and move on, there could still be an ope...

3. Now that I've completed my contract, what's next?

   somedudeinarizona replied to Sivraj's topic in Recovery

   Unfortunately, this is a hard pill to swallow. But state boards are looking to see if there were any disciplinary issues that occurred while in ATD, monitoring, etc. If someone has relapsed multiple times, or anything else come up, they may reject th...

4. CA/ AZ diversion program

   somedudeinarizona replied to AZRN31's topic in Recovery

   I was able to work during IOP, not gonna lie it was very difficult. Luckily I had an employer that was willing to work with that. There was IOP, A.A. meetings, work, recovery group, and trying to get some sleep. I would advise to look for a job where...

5. CA/ AZ diversion program

   somedudeinarizona replied to AZRN31's topic in Recovery

   Just reread your first post. Were you under investigation by the board in CA? If not and you moved here to AZ, then the board may be more readily willing to work with you in CANDO. Also, have you talked to a nursing lawyer here in AZ? They may have b...

   somedudeinarizona replied to AZRN31's topic in Recovery

   I just got through IOP here in AZ. I was covered by insurance so, it reached my deductible before insurance fully covered it, which for me, was $2500. Being covered by BCBS of AZ, they do cover the rest under their insurance. If you do not have insur...

   From a Christian college no less. Hmm... what about forgiveness and compassion?

8. My first letter —please help

   somedudeinarizona replied to Jaxbadds3's topic in Recovery

   The letter you received, answer this rhetorically, do you know what it pertains to. This is a hypothetical situation, I am not saying it is yours, but say for instance an organization suspected you of diverting medications. They had just enough evide...

9. Wow, i need some help in AZ. Any advice givers?

   somedudeinarizona replied to somedudeinarizona's topic in Recovery

   Thanks for the replies. To JxoRN, I did, and mentioned that to them. I guess I will just have to wait to hear back from the ATD program. Should I seek IOP right away, or wait until they tell me to do that. Probably the toughest thing I have had to fa...

    So, my work HR lady brought my into her office and said she had a secretary/recorder (sorry grammar) to the things were are going to discuss. I could immediately started to feel my heart beating in my chest and I could have sworn it was going to go s...
