    I'm Tired & Weary, Why is This Profession So Cut Throat?

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

    Not the most inspiring or hopeful sentiment but if it gets the job

    I Need Help

    K. Everly replied to BirdieMay04's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks for sharing that. I guess "honestly held belief" is so subjective that nobody could easily fight it. It's sad they lied to you about it being confidential though, OP. The stand up...

    Possible corruption in monitoring program?

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

    I don’t have ISNAP/IPRP experience, but I know the the MI program (HPRP) has found some really shady loopholes that sometimes find self reporting (supposedly non-disciplinary) nurses still in...

    I'm Tired & Weary, Why is This Profession So Cut Throat?

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

    Thank you @MsLuckyWon. I’m so sorry you can relate but a selfish part of me likes to know I’m not alone. I read about what happened to you and it really upsets me for you. You can get through this...

    My voluntary alcohol detox was reported to the board..?

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

    First of all, I just want to say how sorry I am that this happened to you! EVERYBODY deserves a confidential way to get treatment before it impacts their job. You made the right choice and I’m sure...

    I Need Help

    K. Everly replied to BirdieMay04's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I feel for you. There are a lot of ways to get help after rehab (like SMART Recovery) but if you think you need detox, I would do that - your kiddos need a happy sober mom and you deserve to get...

    Anyone else being GPS tracked?

    K. Everly replied to RN0904's topic in Nurses Recovery

    @NuRsE ReScUe that’s one of the more insane things I’ve heard. A lie detector!? Is there no depths that these people can reach without hitting an ethical bottom? Ridiculous. I’d want to know...

    I'm Tired & Weary, Why is This Profession So Cut Throat?

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

    Thank you @hppygr8ful. That dream you mentioned sounds like dreams I’ve had. I used to always have dreams about being chased, pretty much my entire life, but it got better recently. I am well...

    THIN

    K. Everly replied to Gratefully2years's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Let's be honest, the board of nursing only cares about the public and the perception of the public on the nursing profession. These monitoring boards only care about power, control, and money....

    Ohio BON Final Review

    K. Everly replied to Buckeye123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What CEU's did you do/where did you find them? I found two free CE courses on the NCSBN website on substance abuse in nursing (one for nurses and one for nurse managers and I finished the first and am...

    Emplore

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

    No disrespect, but your comments and threads around here lately have made about zero

    Terminated while on probation. Scared!

    K. Everly replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    @Direct Are you OK? What are you actually talking

    Assistance Program Tips

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

    While I don’t disagree that one essentially has to adopt a “bend over and take it,” mentality to conquer a monitoring program, I wholeheartedly disagree that to do so is in any way an example of...

    KNAP and Sponsorship during COVID

    K. Everly replied to ab12345's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Lionrock Recovery has a “Recovery Room for Nurses” AA meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays that is very welcoming and you could almost certainly find a sponsor there. It’s a fairly small group of...

    License Suspension

    K. Everly replied to Scared2020's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks, guys. I was probably too wacked out of my mind (mentally, not substance abuse wise) about a year and a half ago but now obviously I've had a job since then and performed above standard so I...

    License Suspension

    K. Everly replied to Scared2020's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Would one have to get an attorney for such a thing, the SSDI that is? I have a dual diagnosis (actually several), and if applying for it wouldn’t cost a crap ton of money I might be worth it as...

    My BON notified my employer of my open formal complaint

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

    I do have a feeling that if it comes down to it the union will support you. It's in every nurses interest to protect nurses who have been wrongfully accused or made a mistake. It could happen to...

    Anyone recovering by choice?

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

    It sounds like you are going through a lot, and I hope you do find someone you can talk to about the traumatic things that occurred in your life. I know prayer is huge for me. So many people seeking...

    My BON notified my employer of my open formal complaint

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

    This makes me mad for you. I agree with what Ruby said. The fact that they notified the employer prior to anything being finalized or officially worked out seems real sketchy. That's like a...

    Monitoring (voluntary) vs. probation

    K. Everly replied to Kpp1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I hadn't thought of that. In enters another option for me to torment myself with LOL. No, but really, I can't control any of this stuff so it is what it is. I've done just about as much as humanely...

    Anyone recovering by choice?

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

    I would sincerely like to share that MOST nurses (and frankly people with addictions) have been where you are, at least in the sense of trying to get help before they were "forced." Most people...

    Monitoring (voluntary) vs. probation

    K. Everly replied to Kpp1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks, I appreciate it. I know I don't need any more treatment (and the two evaluators I saw agreed) because I've already done and continue to do a great deal of treatment for sobriety court...

    Monitoring (voluntary) vs. probation

    K. Everly replied to Kpp1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'd like to know what people have to say about this for a new grad with a 3x criminal record. My attorney seems to think it's unlikely that I will off with the board without an issue to take my...

    DUI in 1988 and 2003

    K. Everly replied to DarkB4Dawn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Get an FBI Personal History check. It’s basically your rap sheet. If the incidents don’t come up there, the BON will have no knowledge of it. I paid an attorney a pretty penny to advise me and she...

    Employability if a previous license was revoked.

    K. Everly replied to guest1161414's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you losing your rad tech license didn't result in any criminal charges and you have no criminal history, then I don't see why a future employer would even find out about that once you got your...
