  1. Detox nursing is sucking the life out of me

    77Mercy replied to number41's topic in Addictions

    I don't have anymore in me to deal with being spoken down to, lied to and yelled at. I'm sure this happens in any unit but does detox carry a bit more of this sort of thing? If you are...

  2. Detox nursing is sucking the life out of me

    77Mercy replied to number41's topic in Addictions

    All I know is that when most nurses talk about substance abuse and addicts- it just brings out that judgmental, ***y nurse Ratched side of them and it makes me feel judgy and ***y to my fellow nurses-...

  3. Detox nursing is sucking the life out of me

    77Mercy replied to number41's topic in Addictions

    OK- I have to ask - where do you come from? And did you actually say that you intubate your patients if they become aggressive or physical? Are you sure it's the patients that are aggressive or...

  4. Anyone else forced to get naked for supervised drug test?

    77Mercy replied to Mik Tea's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well I guess you do, but as far as I am concerned this is still a free country and I am not going to do anything that makes me uncomfortable to keep a job that I really don't want to do

  5. Getting my License back

    77Mercy replied to Pixiedust0928's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Did u have to notify the board and then they told you to set up drug testing or did they set that up for you? I am just trying to understand if you need to notify them that you are planning on...

  7. Anyone else forced to get naked for supervised drug test?

    77Mercy replied to Mik Tea's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My god - is that in your work policy and procedure manual? Are you sure you are not getting some sick pleasure off that? I would be more concerned with your behavior than a person who uses

  8. Anyone else forced to get naked for supervised drug test?

    77Mercy replied to Mik Tea's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have never heard of that and I know that if someone told me to spread my legs so they could see better as the one person said they did to her- I just couldn't do it. I had enough problems just...

  9. Meth induced abuse? =(

    77Mercy replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    You need to take care of yourself first. A job is a job. You have absolutely no reason to feel guilty. Coworkers come and go and everyone understands this. It may be a good idea to speak with a...

  10. Meth induced abuse? =(

    77Mercy replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    OK... I make it a point to never argue with someone who knows everything. I like to keep things simple. I am not the kind of person who is impressed by fancy words. I was not raised to think that...

  12. Meth induced abuse? =(

    77Mercy replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    JKL33- I don’t think you exactly understood the point I was trying to make- and that is OK. I never suggested that anyone should enjoy being treated poorly. My coworker did not treat me...

  15. Meth induced abuse? =(

    77Mercy replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to politely disagree. I needed to hear that. It was a simple but very true statement. It reminded me that I had choices. I wasn’t stuck. I didn’t have to be there. I was completely...

  16. Meth induced abuse? =(

    77Mercy replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a young nurse I was complaining to my co worker how mean and nasty some of my patients were too me. I just didn’t like my job. My coworker reminded me that if I didn’t want to be here I...

  17. Call to action! Nurses in Monitoring Programs

    77Mercy replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thank you for your comment. I believe that a good nurse should never be comfortable with using the work "Junkie". That term is degrading and insulting. It scares me that their are nurses who still...

    77Mercy replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My situation: Nurse who after 7 years of being sober relapsed and immediately went on a leave of absence in hopes of getting back on track. This nurse never once came to work impaired and worked a...

    I am sorry I needed to delete this comment as I put it in the wrong

  20. Is there hope of a successful career after surrendering your nursing license?

    77Mercy replied to Laura252227's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You need to see yourself the way that I see you. You worked as an oncology nurse and in disease management. You must have been very smart and very caring to work in such challenging fields. You then...

  21. Call to action! Nurses in Monitoring Programs

    77Mercy replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ok. I am not understanding your rationale for the different monitoring levels. Also why inpatient or outpatient treatments? Why aa or celebrate recovery? I would like to see some reliable, non biased...

  22. Is there hope of a successful career after surrendering your nursing license?

    77Mercy replied to Laura252227's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think a paralegal job would be very nice. In fact I think I would probably enjoy that more than nursing. Paralegals make good money and I am sure that it can be a very interesting job. If you work...

  24. First job interview while on monitoring

    77Mercy replied to Bravo-rn47's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was in the HPSP in Minnesota and my case manager told me not to mention that I was on the program until after I was hired. So- that’s what I did. Maybe ask your case manager what she suggests?? I...

    77Mercy replied to Kira4357's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was in the program for 5 years- it was suppose to be 4 but I missed a test twice on mistake and time got added because of that. The program is expensive, frustrating and stressful and you do need...
