    GA. I'm required to have hair tests every three months, it's always done a month before the quarterly paperwork is done. Been doing it for a

  2. Invalid lab?!?

    PaddedCellLPN replied to PaddedCellLPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I get hair tests every 3 months, so no big deal. 🤷‍♀️. Same old, same old. It's always the month before the quarterly reports. That's never a suprise. My case manager told me next month...

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Attorney's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What's your point? There's a lot of people on monitoring in every state, and it's usually public record. Your employer shouldn't tell anyone if someone is on Probation or

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Anthony Chipoletti's topic in Nurses Recovery

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Smit5292's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh no, I test a minimum 2xmonth and weekly group zoom meetings. I had other stuff to make the BON happy (fine, classes, etc). Once those were out of the way, it gets a lot

  9. GA BON

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Smit5292's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's a good program, I only knew who to call because another nurse told me. Usually in GA, it's 3 or 5 years of proven sobriety, not from the date of the consent order. They also should give you...

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Smit5292's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm in the GNAPAP program here in GA, and it's not nearly as bad as you hear. My consent order was harder than the program is. I started the program the next day after my self report, so my time...

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Anthony Chipoletti's topic in Nurses Recovery

  15. Hair Follicle Testing in Monitoring Programs

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Sick of nursing 101's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My script isn't a benzo or opiate, maybe that's the difference? Or the fact I turned in a letter from my genetic MD saying I am stable on this med, and I need it to live. In the same letter, it tells...

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Sick of nursing 101's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I take a controlled substance, and in a monitoring program. It wasn't my DOC, and I've been prescribed it for 10 years. The BON and my program just needs updated verification from my pharmacy, and my...
