   Any Nurses That Didn't Get COVID Vacc/Booster for Complio?

   K. Everly replied to NoFly-4645's topic in General Students

   Stick to your guns. Do whatever necessarily to protect your own medical freedom. I will pray you can make this work and I think you can. If you need any support, PM me.

   I hate being in a monitoring program

   K. Everly replied to dancinginthedark's topic in Recovery

   Everybody there with a brain hates it and just pretends for the powers that be. The ones who don't hate it are lying to themselves or genuinely believe they were going to die without the oversight of monitoring. I evaded a monitoring contract b...

   Any advice for anxious and socially awkward new nurses?

   K. Everly replied to Sweetme2's topic in General Nursing

   Love this advice. I also made my own custom brain and it helps me a LOT! Especially so when I was brand new. I also arrive a minimum of 15 mins early, normally closer to 25, to prepare. My shifts go way smoother when I do. I have time to read orders,...

   Any advice for anxious and socially awkward new nurses?

   K. Everly replied to Sweetme2's topic in General Nursing

   You probably feel so alone right now but the sentiments you are sharing felt true for probably 95% of us as new RNs (minus being shy/quiet, but most of us are intimidating speaking to the docs as new grads). Being task oriented in the beginnin...

   Anyone else forced to get naked for supervised drug test?

   K. Everly replied to Mik Tea's topic in Recovery

   This is not necessarily standard but does happen from time to time. I doubt there is much that could be done about it, as they want to see the urine stream come from your urethra to the cup. Imagine how uncomfortable this is for us women too.. litera...

   VA HPMP

   K. Everly replied to AnnaHill's topic in Recovery

   Deep breath. You can still keep your head down (I'll elaborate), and if your other case manager had all your paperwork and never raised an issue, I don't see it as being likely that you'll be retroactively punished by the director. You just have to f...

   Perfume

   K. Everly replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Recovery

   I've never heard of a BON using one, but it was used on me for sobriety court. They are called SCRAM tethers. They are basically a black box on a watch band that goes around your ankle and is not removable. If I remember correctly, every 30 minutes o...

   Perfume

   K. Everly replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Recovery

   Nope. I MEANT to say 3x a WEEK. I had to do a 6-panel drug test w/ EtG 3x a week. In addition to the urine tests, I also had to wear an ankle alcohol monitor for 8 months. And, when I got rid of the ankle monitor, I then had to breathe into a ha...

   Fake Nursing School Scammed Me

   K. Everly replied to Soy Dora's topic in General Nursing

   I had no idea. Are you calling me Trippy? I don't know what that means.

    HPRP evaluation, advice needed please

    K. Everly replied to ScaredasheckRN's topic in Michigan

    I managed, through tremendous efforts, to avoid an HPRP contract and board discipline while applying for my RN license while I was still in sobriety court for my 2nd DUI.

    New RN looking to expand resume, please help me!

    K. Everly replied to Nurse.NoFilter's topic in Michigan

    Great question. I also think that is something that would suit my personality well and would love to hear from others who may know.

    Wisconsin Nurse Amputated Man's Foot Without Orders

    K. Everly replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Headlines

    I have more memes and facial expressions for this one than actual words. Crazytown is the only one that comes to mind.

    Nurse lying to the BON about their past

    K. Everly replied to getanapple's topic in Recovery

    A DUI is, by definition, a criminal charge/conviction. Usually non-violent, but a crime nonetheless.

    Perfume

    K. Everly replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Recovery

    It’s unlikely but possible. Perfume has a ton of alcohol. In fact, I think it is almost all alcohol mixed with primarily synthetic fragrance. The chances of having a false positive from perfume or hand sanitizer are low, especially if you keep ...

    Not Exactly HIPAA, But Worried I Said Too Much

    K. Everly replied to guest998179's topic in HIPAA

    I don't see how this was a violation even in the slightest.
