  2. How to handle job until off probation

    PaddedCellLPN replied to PaddedCellLPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    PaddedCellLPN replied to PaddedCellLPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sadly, I'm in NWGA, and have applied to no less than 50 jobs in the last year. Even jobs that have no narc access, like an injector for a MH clinic and MDS coordinator all said they will be more than...

  8. +PEth in WHPS? with a job?

    PaddedCellLPN replied to birdo98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    7 months for me. I'm in the GNAPAP, and I called and left a message, and my new case worker called back a few hours later to do a phone interview. That was 12/7, and I was fully accepted to the...

  11. OIG list

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Itotias's topic in Nurses Recovery

    1) This is for clarity, not being a jerk... is this where the private schools were paid for false transcripts to allow someone to sit for NCLEX? Not accusing you, just for clarity. 2) The OIG...

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Blinkyvx's topic in Nurses Recovery

  14. Affinity Testing Process

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Smit5292's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I go during lunch. My manager is super cool and covers my patients. I'm in GA, and my program will tell you work isn't an excuse to miss a test. Make sure your manager knows when you've got to test,...

  15. Urine testing

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Scarlet70's topic in Nurses Recovery

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Smit5292's topic in Nurses Recovery

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Nursebae2024's topic in Nurses Recovery

  19. Drug testing

    PaddedCellLPN replied to Kenzie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, how I was told... nails and hair strand tests take 7-10 days to show use. (Not saying it's accurate), and they can actually have false negatives since there is less blood flow to the area,...

  20. Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome?

    PaddedCellLPN replied to arlingtonnurse's topic in School

    As an adult with CVS, it's horrible. The only combo that has ever worked (thank god) is propranolol and cyproheptadine, both TID. When I feel an actual episode coming on, I take Marinol, but that's a...

    PaddedCellLPN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey guys! I received a notification from Spectrum that my UDS from 1/7 was invalid. No one called me, just sent the prompt to contact my case manager (which I did the same day on the 22nd). They...

  22. Invalid lab?!?

    PaddedCellLPN replied to PaddedCellLPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

  23. Invalid lab?!?

    PaddedCellLPN replied to PaddedCellLPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's my major issue with the whole thing. The app let me know 2 weeks later by a random alert, but the rules are basically an immediate retest. So, them being lazy is going to cost me big probably...

    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...
