If a nurse can financially afford to complete the monitoring program after a failed drug test, does the way they are viewed ever change or will you always have the same issues u face while in monitoring? I am a nurse of 20 yrs. I am an occasional soc...

Did he BOM accept the eval?

Is this still happening? I am currently in a monitoring program. I am a nurse of twenty years. No issues with my job performance and all tests passed until the last one. I had no idea what nurses had to go through with the board!! I have been appalle...

I’m with you here! When I asked about options for assistance with the program I was asked “would u like to talk to someone about surrendering license”. I’m OK to pass all and every test that they want to give me but financially unable! I have only fa...

Definitely

I set alarms to check in. 6 months in and I also have been treated worse than I have ever been in my life. I’m a nurse of 20 yrs. I am also an occasional social drinker or at times thc. One failed tests with no oTher issues at any job. Now, I am unem...

I have the same issue in Arkansas! I love the petition idea. I am very willing to help. Nurse of twenty years with no issues and one failed drug test for thc. I can’t believe that nurses have been going through this and I never knew!! I have reach th...

WOW! I am in Arkansas. Five children. My husband and I both work. I am considering surrendering my license after 20 yrs due to cost. We r unable to pay fees and have a home. I think this is a way of pushing several of us out of program without them l...

If u get lucky u may find someone to give u a chance either way. For the most part u either don’t get hired or u are hired then basically harassed until u quit or do something of any kind that can constitute u being fired.

Lawyer ASAP do not talk to anyone about the situation but your lawyer

I know I sound a little upset right now. And I truly am. I had no idea nurses were being done this way for many years. I have a friend whose husband went through a drug rehabilitation after being charged with a drug related crime. It is crazy to see ...

What happen is an occasional social drug user starts contemplating becoming an addict from the stress and money. If u do get hired, u will usually not be treated as other nurses but will be treated in such a way u either quit or hope to b fired unles...

Once the mark is on your record u are labeled a drug user and not many want to help. They don’t care what your story is the whys or how u came to be in the state u were in at all. The corporation will either hire u and treat u in ways making u quit o...

DO NOT speak with board. Hire a lawyer immediately. I just posted my story on another thread. If u want to continue your career In nursing, get a lawyer!!

I’m pretty sure if I was going to have any kind of drug issues it would happen right now. I’m just not cursed with that disease. For those who are, is the BOM driving many back to addiction or helping. The stress is killing me here and I had no idea ...

I also am in the monitoring program at this time. I have been in nursing 20 yrs. I am not an addict and never have been. However, I do sometimes like to have some drinks and on occasion use thc. I have never been impaired at work or had any complaint...

I was wondering that also. I was put in the monitoring program after failing one test for thc. I have been a nurse for 20 years and have passed all tests other than this one. I very rarely would fail one. I recently started a new job and now already...

I’m in Arkansas. Nothing showed up on my liscense check until after I accepted their offer of discipline. In saying that, I highly recommend that you get a lawyer. Afterward, you will have difficulty getting or keeping a job.
