  1. Dismissed from the VHPMP

    ThatLady replied to KC86's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I do not know how it works in your state but in my state - you would typically have a one year suspension and could re apply for the program (but only after jumping through some extra hoops); in the...

  2. Reinstate license attempt after revoke

  4. Hprp first test

    ThatLady replied to Kaitlynn Taylor's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First- chin up. You are not the sum of your mistakes. It feels REALLY dark right now. I remember it. It WILL get better. I promise. In the meantime- keep doing the next right thing. I do not know...

  5. Anyone ever go into rehab voluntarily? How do you navigate BON/Work?

    ThatLady replied to spiritualconfront's topic in Nurses Recovery

    #1- take care of YOU. I would strongly advise against telling ANYONE in rehab that you are a nurse. They can and often will report you. But- that is all secondary to you getting help and taking...

  6. Glad to be here with you guys!

    ThatLady replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This board has provided me great info and great hope during some dark times. Wishing you all the best and congrats on your first 17 months- the days are long sometimes but keep your head

  7. Scared

    ThatLady replied to Sc8red's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Beachy is correct. A good attorney can make ALL the difference in how you get treated; the board does not care about you. First and foremost take care of YOU. Get the help you may need. Talk to...

  8. Peth after 20 days

    ThatLady replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would suspect that it would be negative BUT the only way that you can make sure is complete abstinence; I know it absolutely stinks. Especially if alcohol was not your problem- however- the worry...

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

    ThatLady replied to Mik Tea's topic in Nurses Recovery

    this was the standard procedure outlined for my observed screens; most collectors were kind and just watched me pee, not make me do the shimmy shake and touch your toes

  10. Quit RAMP, board action, now what?

    ThatLady replied to Hard knocks09's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am so sorry you are going through this. I don't know anything about Texas or RAMP but I'd talk to a licensing attorney in your current state and see what they suggest.

  11. What states monitor these forums?

    ThatLady replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    gotta assume they all are,

  12. Job search after revocation or surrender

    ThatLady replied to Mustacheyouaquest's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First of all, congrats on getting sober and staying that way in the last four months!; every addict on here has done things they are ashamed of- keep working your program and try not to let guilt and...

  13. Hold on to hope

    ThatLady posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I recently finished a five year "contract"; I just want to give you all a bit of encouragement. You can rise above. You can do this. I understand the guilt, anger, shame, bitterness... just keep doing...

  14. Hold on to hope

    ThatLady replied to ThatLady's topic in Nurses Recovery

    universe- those first days can feel lonely and dark... you are not alone!

  15. DWI Texas

    ThatLady replied to TexasRN1287's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Not in Texas but I always recommend getting an attorney- a nursing attorney! They can make all the difference in what happens. Best of luck and big hugs!

  16. Alcohol and big trouble:(

    ThatLady replied to Kmrn65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    amazing! keep up the good work! You got

  17. Diverted Fentanyl, DEA involved- has anyone ever been through this?

    ThatLady replied to PDRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    hey girl! I did not have federal charges but I did have state felony charges and ended up with probation - just listen to your lawyer. I know how scared you are. Just keep doing the next right thing...

  18. Alcohol and big trouble:(

    ThatLady replied to Kmrn65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wishing you allll the best! Keep up the good

  19. Positive PETH at evaluation...

    ThatLady replied to peth_pos's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have done a lot of reading on PETH - a lot of it depends on if the sample was taken properly! They can really mess it up if they don't know what they are doing- that being said. Boards are SUPPOSED...

  20. Drop your monthly testing average here please.

    ThatLady replied to RueTrue's topic in Nurses Recovery

    hey Rue! Not sure where you are but I average 2/month; some months could be 1 and others 3- no rhyme or reason to it!

  21. I missed a check in, in Ohio. Help!

    ThatLady replied to Rachie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    not sure about your state but in mine we have so many "freebies" for missed check in- I think it is like 3 a year... call your case manager and let them know!

  22. Alcohol and big trouble:(

    ThatLady replied to Kmrn65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    hey! first of all - big hugs. It is so easy to get down in the shame of it all. You are not defined by your mistakes. Repeat. You are NOT defined by your mistakes. I am in your state as well- I...

  23. I Quit Today

    ThatLady replied to KaliK's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is so demoralizing. Im glad you feel free and at peace! I wish you nothing but the best going

  24. Nervous about license renewal

    ThatLady replied to Yrztree's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I spilled my guts and ended up with a 5 year contract. Should have had an attorney speak with them as proxy and negotiated something better- not saying I did not deserve a contract- but 5 years has...

  25. Board Order: Sabotaged by doctor

    ThatLady replied to LucyLu123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Any chance you could find your original doctor (regardless if he is out of state,or wherever) and establish at his new clinic for just the amount of time you need to get through??? Sorry you are in...
