1. Stories of RNs finding work after being placed into monitoring

   Scared2020 replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

   I like the autonomy. We have 12 chairs so I'm the only nurse on shift (luckily I didn't get a stipulation against this). I find it just as fast-paced as working in a hospital. The only thing I miss is...

   I got the first dialysis job I applied for. lucky for me it turns out I really like dialysis! I'm almost done with monitoring but at 44 I'm thinking I'll just stay

3. OIG EXCLUSION LIST

   Scared2020 replied to Hayhay1's topic in Nurses Recovery

   That must have been SOME medication error! It's hard to give advice with so little detail as to why you were suspended in the first place. I'm in a different state than any of those but I've never...

5. Legal battles

   Scared2020 replied to mykids02's topic in Nurses Recovery

   The attorney general wants to file criminal charges on you? I would worry about that first, and yes definitely use a lawyer. The BON likely wants to see what happens with that first. My license...

   Scared2020 replied to Iwtkm's topic in Nurses Recovery

   I've been where you are at and I'm so sorry. None of us can really say if you will get arrested. Most likely not but it is possible. I was lucky and while I did get fired and reported and...

7. Just got the dreaded phone call

   Scared2020 replied to Nursefailure's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Scared2020 replied to Mustacheyouaquest's topic in Nurses Recovery

   I got a 12 month suspended license for diversion. That was 18 months ago and I’m awaiting for my approval for a board hearing to reinstate (I started my petition after the 12 months). I...

9. Good grief, will it never stop? MN nurses in assistance program?

   Scared2020 replied to PDRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Hi, I got caught diverting in MN in 2020. Suspended my license for one year and I’m now in the process of getting it reinstated. If they reinstate they will make me enroll in HPSP for probably like...

10. ATP and non nursing job

    Scared2020 replied to Scarlet70's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Easiest way around that is to find a lab that is open outside your work hours or close enough to go on your lunch break. I work 8:30-4:30 and my lab is about 10 minutes away. They close at 5....

    Scared2020 replied to Kpp1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Every state is different but in MN they assign you a color and you call a number each morning. There is a recording with the color of the day and if your color is stated then you have to take a urine...

14. License Suspension

    Scared2020 replied to Scared2020's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm so sorry you are going through this. It's awful, humiliating, and frustrating. First of all- Did you sign a monitoring contract? I'm going to assume you did. In your contract, does...

15. License Suspension

    Scared2020 replied to Scared2020's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes I am sure I will go under monitoring and probation. I'm not going to hire a lawyer, which I know many disagree with. Maybe I should have originally, but I am truly an addict and made my bed so...
