    How I inform interested employers of my past.

    K. Everly replied to SineQuaNon's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wonder if it would be more realistic and less shaming to say “I had a significant drug addiction” instead of calling yourself a “horrible drug addict.” That’s the kind of terminology that...

    First year nurse. Thinking about leaving field altogether.

    K. Everly replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    If you heart isn’t in this, there is nothing that can be said to make you want to stay. But, if your heart is in this and you are just too afraid to say so and are protecting your own psyche by...

    Restrictions on a new license again?!

    K. Everly replied to YK89's topic in Nurses Recovery

    How are people getting DUIs expunged? I’d really love to know. I feel like I’ll be carrying this scarlet letter around with me for the rest of my

    Nurse Beth Pops New Grad's Bubble

    K. Everly replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I really want to thank you for these suggestions! I was able to tailor my resume a bit more with this advice and changed my "professional profile" at the top of my resume (which I consider to be...

    Probation

    K. Everly replied to ESRN35's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Are you asking about court probation right now? I can give insight into that, at least for my situation (I am on a very strict sobriety court probation for 2nd DUI). If you are asking monitoring,...

    Sudafed

    K. Everly replied to Tiger daddy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Alcohol was my DOC too. Most of the monitoring programs have a stipulation not to take Sudafed, and that’s regardless of whether you are in monitoring for drugs or alcohol, or even a lie somebody...

    Sudafed

    K. Everly replied to Tiger daddy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Are you in a monitoring program or just an LPN worried about dropping dirty for a routine UDS with your employer? EDIT: went back to read some of your other posts and it appears you are in...

    Reported to BON for positive drug screen, what can I expect?

    K. Everly replied to nightshifter21's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You could also talk to your lawyer and doctor about getting random UDS or hair follicle tests - to support the claim that you haven’t used and won’t in the

    RAMP NJ class action lawsuit in Michigan

    K. Everly replied to jancon201's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This whole thing has been going on for like 3 years I think. No changes have occurred with HPRP that I am aware of. It’s disturbing that they can be allowed to go on this way years after the cat has...

    Woah, is this offer still open? I have a BSN and also a BA in psych but currently no license. Hope to apply soon but worried my criminal record will have them force me into a state recovery program...

    Criminal Charges KY

    K. Everly replied to xo_futurern_xo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Get your ducks in a row and show the documentation of them having paid, and that letter they sent to you. If there is one thing I've learned through all I've been through myself, it's that what you...

    One more bat outta hades

    K. Everly replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    To an extent that is true IMO, but as someone with PTSD I can definitely say healing takes a lot of time. Though I completely agree that we can choose to forever be victims or can use our experience...

    Criminal Charges KY

    K. Everly replied to xo_futurern_xo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Awesome. Great first step. I'd ask the lawyer if they can recommend how to go about getting that child abuse charge taken off your record (or if it's possible). That will, no matter how much time has...

    Criminal Charges KY

    K. Everly replied to xo_futurern_xo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have a criminal record too. But the multiple violent charges, particularly the child abuse charge, are what is likely going to keep this career from being attainable to you. Unfortunately, we live...

    K. Everly replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is truly wonderful news! You've been put through the wringer by a program that is riddled with conflicts of interests and human rights abuses. You see it for what it is and your candor on the...

    2nd Opinion Successful???

    K. Everly replied to MiRN07's topic in Nurses Recovery

    TAANA.org. You can find an RN who is also a JD. I have personally spoken to 3 in our state (also in MI) who have experience in license defense. Though, even I am having difficulty getting in touch...

    Super nervous about new job

    K. Everly replied to Rnagain1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Your story is incredibly inspiring. For what it’s worth, I think if you’ve overcome everything you have (with tenacity, intellect & grit) then you can definitely get back into the swing of...

    2nd Opinion Successful???

    K. Everly replied to MiRN07's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think your last post was helpful to us readers. So, you reported the DUI to your BON per your lawyers instruction and terms of licensure, and the BON referred you to HPRP for evaluation. So, in the...
