1. “Stayed suspension"

   TIMFY replied to Mamanurse1023's topic in Recovery

   The monitoring program doesn't have any restrictions? I'm sure it varies by state but where I'm at, the restrictions wouldn't come from the board or even show on your license, but would be enforced through the monitoring program.

2. Direct Entry MSN - No interest in bedside

   TIMFY replied to mgryffon's topic in NP Students

   I feel like being able to prescribe without actually having any experience with the meds would be a bad idea. Pts often have other comorbidites too so even if you're strictly prescribing psych meds, a lot of psych meds cause QTc prolongation which in...

3. Expungement

   TIMFY replied to Need answer's topic in Criminal

   You would still have to answer "Yes" to "have you ever been arrested, etc" so I'm not sure it would matter if it were expunged

4. Affinity higher level testing TPAPN

   TIMFY replied to Sphi_6688's topic in Recovery

   Yes they can do that and you are extremely lucky that they didn't extend you or close your case and refer you back to the board. I would be doing whatever they asked if they're still going to let you be done on time.

5. Hair Follicle Testing in Monitoring Programs

   TIMFY replied to Sick of nursing 101's topic in Recovery

   Lets not spread misinformation 😉 The reason I didn't self report was because of comments like these-I am in pain management and I thought there was no way they'd let me continue my meds throughout the program. But they didn't bat an eye or require an...

6. To Anyone Who Will Listen

   TIMFY replied to MJAJKJ's topic in Recovery

   I'm a little confused about the MRO thing-monitoring (at least my program) doesn't use an MRO but they still do all of the confirmatory tests. Your case manager is the "MRO". I was taking a few different controlled substances in monitoring and the la...

7. Hair Follicle Testing in Monitoring Programs

   TIMFY replied to Sick of nursing 101's topic in Recovery

   Probably depends on the state, but I don't think most states do. Hair testing is supposed to show more chronic use so if it were just a few doses, it probably wouldn't show up.

8. CA Diversion Program Changes

   TIMFY replied to C Rizzle's topic in Recovery

   This is wild. I almost understand but I have no desire to ever work around narcotics again? I don't think 6 months would make it any safer for me? My job in monitoring had no narcotics so I would have been SOL.

9. BON complaint AFTER you're already in a consent order

   TIMFY replied to PsychRNXXX's topic in Recovery

   You had another complaint for diversion from that facility or their complaint was that you were practicing without telling them about the probation? Probably varies by state but I doubt anything will happen if you're already in a program. I had 3 com...

10. Does probation always mean nurse license suspension?

    TIMFY replied to NurseMarplay's topic in Recovery

    I had to get a note from my Dr saying I was safe to practice and then pay a fine, I had self enrolled in TPAPN so I had already gotten my letter from my Dr and then I was board ordered to complete TPAPN and they suspended my license until I submitted...

11. Part time jobs while in monitoring

    TIMFY replied to santi_05's topic in Recovery

    I walk and board dogs! I'm no longer in monitoring but I still do it and make ~$1000-$1500/mo!

12. BON and reporting termination

    TIMFY replied to Lexxis's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, Texas is one of those states, but even if they're supposed to, your employer might not

13. Working as a private nurse with no license

    TIMFY replied to PDRN's topic in Criminal

    You would absolutely not be able to work as a private duty nurse without a license. Even if you market yourself as a "care person" or something, you would not be able to do nursing things and it would be a huge liability if something happened. Unfort...

14. Texas TPAPN case closed after failing to adhere to practice agreement

    TIMFY replied to Sumi's topic in Recovery

    I think you have to have a certain number of posts to be able to private message, but you can email me! [email protected]

15. To self report DUI or not

    TIMFY replied to ct-rn's topic in Criminal

    Mine was for drug diversion(s) and I didn't have criminal charges so I'm not 100% sure how that works. You can take a look at my post hx though! I bet your probation officer might report it to the board. I would think they'd be mandatory report...
