  1. APRN seeking employment after being reported to NPDB for substance use disorder

    TIMFY replied to crna05's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Was the opiate use while you were practicing as a CRNA or an RN? One of the CRNAs that works where I get my infusions is in monitoring and I believe he got that job after he started monitoring (ie it...

  2. Pre-Employment Screening

    TIMFY replied to CntFloridaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    How did you get out of signing it? not a lawyer but I'd guess you wouldn't get in trouble if you didn't sign confirming it was yours/hadn't been tampered with etc? They do verify your ID before you...

  3. Selected for urine test and used hand sanitizer

    TIMFY replied to JuneBug13's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Are you sure that's true if its a false positive though? Like zoloft can cause a false positive for Benzos but I don't know if you could test positive for benzos, say its d/t your zoloft and get it...

  4. Selected for urine test and used hand sanitizer

    TIMFY replied to JuneBug13's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think they just say that so people don't try and use it as an excuse for testing positive. LOL I was in monitoring all through covid and used lots of hand sanitizer and never had an issue. also...

  5. PeTH finger prick test?

    TIMFY replied to dancinginthedark's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I thought the instructions specifically said not to use

  6. expired license now suspended

    TIMFY replied to Tiffany Reed's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would think once you complete the treatment it would be unsuspended, regardless of whether or not you decide to reactivate it. I guess I'm a little confused on why you're in a program for a state...

  7. Need Help please suspended license can I be a teacher

    TIMFY replied to kmph's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wouldn't think so since the board wouldn't do their investigation if you surrendered your license. I mean the letter might make it in the public documents, but the board would still post the...

  8. Need Help please suspended license can I be a teacher

    TIMFY replied to kmph's topic in Nurses Recovery

    yes, but it my state, the investigation is still public

  9. “Stayed suspension"

    TIMFY replied to Mamanurse1023's topic in Nurses 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...

  10. Direct Entry MSN - No interest in bedside

    TIMFY replied to mgryffon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

  11. Expungement

    TIMFY replied to Need answer's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    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

  12. Affinity higher level testing TPAPN

    TIMFY replied to Sphi_6688's topic in Nurses 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...

  13. Hair Follicle Testing in Monitoring Programs

    TIMFY replied to Sick of nursing 101's topic in Nurses 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...

  14. To Anyone Who Will Listen

    TIMFY replied to MJAJKJ's topic in Nurses 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...

  15. Hair Follicle Testing in Monitoring Programs

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

  16. CA Diversion Program Changes

    TIMFY replied to C Rizzle's topic in Nurses 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...

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

    TIMFY replied to PsychRNXXX's topic in Nurses 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...

  18. Does probation always mean nurse license suspension?

    TIMFY replied to NurseMarplay's topic in Nurses 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...

  19. Part time jobs while in monitoring

    TIMFY replied to santi_05's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I walk and board dogs! I'm no longer in monitoring but I still do it and make

  20. 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

  21. Working as a private nurse with no license

    TIMFY replied to PDRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    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...

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

    TIMFY replied to Sumi's topic in Nurses Recovery

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

  23. To self report DUI or not

    TIMFY replied to ct-rn's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    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...

  24. To self report DUI or not

    TIMFY replied to ct-rn's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I would definitely tell them on your license renewal. Not sure how they find out but they always seem to, even if it takes a few years. I know I had to do a full background check at my last renewal....

  25. Positive result

    TIMFY replied to GRN99's topic in Nurses Recovery

    yep thats what happened to me taking vyvanse in tpapn! It happened to me over NYE last year, longest weekend ever!! LOL it changed from "positive" to "prescription positive" the next business day when...
