   PDRN replied to alyssa sned's topic in Recovery

   I use them, they are super simple, and so convenient. You perform the test in front of your camera, upload the test, and then drop it in a fedex box at your earliest convenience.

   PDRN replied to TiredofBON's topic in Recovery

   I have a question- how soon after you were fond/ pled guilty did you get placed on the OIG? Is it an immediate thing, or does it take a bit?

    I have a expired CA RN license, and am a resident of another state, disciplined in the state I reside. CA discovered the discipline, and has now offered me a settlement, but it can be tolled. Yes, I have an attorney, I'm just wondering what other's e...

11. Prescription monitoring

    PDRN replied to HardtimesRN's topic in Recovery

    My caseworker told me that they regularly monitor our state's prescription databank, whatever that means. I also had asked what if I did need a narcotic, as *** happens, and she said as long as there's a valid prescription and reason- I think they're...

    PDRN replied to Peachykay's topic in Recovery

    Share options, because I am having a hard time thinking of what else I would do...I'm also older and don't feel like I have the time to do a 180 on my career, but also am not sure I want to spend what few years I may have left under the BON's thumb.
