  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...

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

    Scared2020 replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...

  4. “Stayed suspension"

    Scared2020 replied to Mamanurse1023's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What does it say when you look up your

  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...

  6. Under investigation

    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

    Being in monitoring doesn't exclude you from working as a nurse but having your license suspended does. I self reported before my employer did but I still got mine suspended for 12 months (MN)....

  8. Job search after revocation or surrender

    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....

  11. Affinity drug testing

    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...

  12. Affinity drug testing

    Scared2020 replied to Kpp1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    With monitoring you basically have to get permission to go on vacation or find a lab who will do your testing if your number/color gets

  13. License Suspension

    Scared2020 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    So my license is going to be suspended for 12 months by the board for diversion. I self reported to my state’s alternative-to-discipline program but I’m getting disciplined anyway. I can apply...

  14. License Suspension

    Are you talking to

  15. 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...

  16. 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...

  17. License Suspension

    Scared2020 replied to Scared2020's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Nope not being monitored. Once my license was officially suspended they sent me a letter kicking me out. I had signed a four year contract, so I am really hoping they also give me credit for a year...

  18. License Suspension

    Scared2020 replied to Scared2020's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am currently working with children with autism in a facility. Blackpear my situation was the opposite- I self-reported (my employer also reported), signed a four year contract for...

  19. License Suspension

    Scared2020 replied to Scared2020's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am currently in the petition process for having my license reinstated. I am submitting all of my paperwork this week. I'm sure it could take months to hear back. I am currently very happy in my...

  20. License Suspension

    Scared2020 replied to Scared2020's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you Indiana, you said it better than I could have! I am making $17/hr in the only non-nursing job I could find. I got rejected from Costco, gas stations, Target, and many work from...

  21. License Suspension

    Scared2020 replied to Scared2020's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Plus I’ve already gone through outpatient treatment, counseling, etc. I originally signed a four year contract so I am really hoping it’s a three year contract when I get my license

  22. License Suspension

    Scared2020 replied to Scared2020's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don’t have to drug test until I re-enter monitoring. I was in it for 5 months before my license was officially suspended. Testing cost $20 and my color was called 4 times in those five months so...

  23. License Suspension

    Scared2020 replied to Scared2020's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I’m not through it yet, only about 6 months in! But I already completed IOP treatment and found a non-nursing job. I go to NA meetings 1x a week and see a therapist 1-2 a month. I have to get a...

  24. Postive THC random test

    Scared2020 replied to RN117's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Absolutely ridiculous...wonder how much of a kickback those Inpatient programs get from the evaluators?. I am an opioid addict who diverted and I didn’t even get recommended to

  25. Anyone volunteer into monitoring and then voluntarily leave

    Scared2020 replied to smilemk0's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my situation I diverted and the whole situation is posted on my license for the world to see (even though I self-reported, signed a four year contract with my state’s alternative to discipline...
