First let me say, I’m sorry we are all going this PTSD from being covid nurses, it’s taking a toll on all of us. Is your lawyer one who specializes in licensing? Honestly I’m surprised they told you to take a narc to test positive. You could have sai...

I’m not sure about you state, I’d ask a lawyer that specializes in licensing. In Michigan it shows forever.

What state are you in?

Self reporting to the monitoring program you will have to admit you have a substance abuse problem and if you miss check in’s or appointments you’ll usually have extensions on your contact or if you decide you no longer want to be in the program your...

If you know you can pass a drug test urine,blood and a hair follicle test. Do not say you have a drug problem. They can’t say you do if you don’t. Like I said do not even say you tried Pot in High school. Focus more on the hx of mental health if you ...

Do you work in the US or Canada? Sounds like you may get a monitoring contract for mental Heath.

Did you termination letter say they thought you were diverting? Were there missing meds or failure to get a co-sign? If not, you’ll mostly likely need to have an eval for substance abuse and in that case you need to deny deny deny. Not even trying Po...

Great info! Thank you ?

From what I’ve read you will be considered non testable which is a fail in the eyes of the BON. PM if you can! -A

Yes. It’s considered non testable. But I’ve read they can take leg hair if it’s long enough or even pubic hair ?

Does your license show active without anything from the past? If so, I’d just say you were choosing to stay home with your child/children.

I would never admit to having a substance abuse issue if I didn’t. In Michigan our monitoring program use to protect you if you self reported, not the case now, you’ll have actions on your license even if you are 100% compliant with monitoring. More ...

CONGRATULATIONS!!

@TheoneRN Did the BON want you to have an evaluation with HPRP? I know I was told that if you get an eval by an addiction specialist that have to be “hprp certified” but your letter for the BON stating your case was closed should have been enoug...

True. Valid point

Well we are human and as long as you tested clean and are still working, maybe you’ll just get more time added to your probation? Prayers & positive vibes

So did you two have a conversation about what happened? Did they seem to believe it was a pure accident but said, they’d still have to add it in your report? Are you still working?

Did your supervisor tell you that was going to be on your reports?

Hi all! Hope all is well and everyone is staying safe. So I have pretty good feeling I’ll be going to for an eval to rule out drug/alcohol and wanted to ask what types of questions are asked.

Great! Thanks for the feedback! I have co-waste discrepancies and never had any positive drug test including hair follicle, my lawyer is recommended I get one to prove to the BON I’m safe to practice

Ugh.. I am so sorry. If I knew that being a nurse and the BON expected us to be perfect and not make a single mistake or be an actual human being that can admit we may need help without being treated like a murderer I would have chosen a different pr...

There’s a really good law firm in Troy. Chapman law all they do is represent licensed medical professionals. They even brought a class action lawsuit again HPRP. They could tell you more to determine if you could get out early. Do not just quit. They...

@RML Are you currently working? As long as you don’t have a narcotic(key) restriction you may be able to keep your job. What state are you in? You may be required to have an eval to rule out substance abuse disorder and will mostly likely be place on...

Yes! I am working with an attorney

We used paper and Omnicel
