  1. Anyone with experience petitioning for license after a mandatory ten year suspension in PA, or anywhere?

    Lust4life posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm coming up on my ten yr suspension period ending. It was for a felony charge (diversion...controlled substance act...). When it first happened I was (of course) ordered for inpatient rehab 30 days...

  2. Any advice for anxious and socially awkward new nurses?

    Lust4life replied to Sweetme2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure preceptor sign up for that, so you'd think they would have the patience. My preceptor was a jerk, and many share that sentiment so I wouldn't worry about that too much. All that...

  3. Taking ADHD meds

    Lust4life replied to ICUBSNRN7's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    You are correct! That is so wrong of her, and shows her lack of knowledge. She should take some continuing education credits on things she doesn't understand or it could cost her a

  4. PNAP no legal charges

    Lust4life replied to AlmostNP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When I did it, it was the same in PA. I was told the phmp was for MDs. They don't tell you much of anything about it until you sign into it. A quick online search of PAs program tells you more about...

  6. PNAP no legal charges

    Lust4life replied to AlmostNP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There's that stigma and misinformation. Not everyone is the same. It's not a legal "loophole" and it shouldn't be a battle. It's not a crutch and it doesn't cause impairment. If you don't know because...

  7. PNAP no legal charges

    Lust4life replied to AlmostNP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Read about Illinois monitoring program and how they now must allow those in the program to continue to take their medications. It's a violation of the ADA not to. I'm not defensive about it, just feel...

  8. PNAP no legal charges

    Lust4life replied to AlmostNP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ask PNAP is they allow nurses to take maintenance medication, such as buprenorphine, when it is prescribed by your doctor, and still participate fully without having to quit taking

  9. Phasing Out ADN?

    Lust4life replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. When I started nursing school I had to be educated and trained to think "like a nurse". Until then, it would be very hard to pass the tests given in nursing school. I went into...

  10. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Lust4life replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That is a good point. At what level of negligence and harm are we willing to draw the

  11. Pre-employment drug screen suboxone

    Lust4life replied to bgirl123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Things have changed a lot I n the past few years in regards to OUD and meds. They know more about the med and what it does, or doesn't do. They now claim it is fine for long term. It's time that it's...

  12. Oig exclusion list

    Lust4life replied to TiredofBON's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Funny you say that....I just found out I was reinstated and they told me they mailed me the letter. I never got it either. LOL hmmm.... I didn't get one in mail

  13. Call to action! Nurses in Monitoring Programs

    Lust4life replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think what's done is done, in my case. It was 10 yrs ago. I'm still dealing with the damages. I had a lawyer at this point, who called me and said, they are pressing charges and you can turn...

  14. PNAP no legal charges

    Lust4life replied to AlmostNP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree with you Bad dog. It seems the punishment doesn't fit the crime. I would hope they take everything into consideration. You don't have to agree to the program, if you don't have a problem....

  15. Call to action! Nurses in Monitoring Programs

    Lust4life replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    When I had my trial, I was not appointed a public defender. They met without me even there, actually. They had me wait inside the court house and then came to me and said, "This is what we are...

  16. PNAP no legal charges

    Lust4life replied to AlmostNP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Exposed and revamped! To at least comply with the laws for those with a disability. At the

  17. Call to action! Nurses in Monitoring Programs

    Lust4life replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There isn't anything a lawyer can do about the administrative part of it. They'll still charge you out of pocket, but all they can truly do is sit with you while you have an initial assessment by the...

  18. ADHD Nurses-what area do you specialize in?

    Lust4life replied to k31kozumi's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    If you made it to graduate nurse and then pass the NCLEX, I believe you can excell anywhere you'd like in nursing. Best wishes

  19. Can a nurse have seizures?

    Lust4life replied to Bmw12397's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I am curious about this. I would hope so and I would think it would be illegal to not hire someone because of epilepsy, or seizure disorder. Perhaps personally, one should think about how often...

  20. Taking ADHD meds

    Lust4life replied to ICUBSNRN7's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Big Ole NO. You don't have to tell them and you should not. If you were taking it out of the machine there would be discrepancies, and or documentation errors....of which would be on your fingertip....

  21. Heparin gtt with compatible IV med

    Lust4life replied to gnv26's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wouldn't the Maintenance be off while the heparin is running? Wouldn't the heparin be running for a long time, and need to be titrated? In my opinion, I wouldn't run heparin as a piggyback. It...

  22. Phasing Out ADN?

    Lust4life replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhh yes, in pediatrics. Yikes

  23. Oxycodone Mistake

    Lust4life replied to Angelasc's topic in General Nursing

    Was he ordered that ATC at like 8a and 8p since it's extended release, and also ordered a PRN for IR secondary to breakthrough pain? Didn't know they had 5mg oxy in ER. But anyway, even if it...

  24. Oxycodone Mistake

    Lust4life replied to Angelasc's topic in General Nursing

    It was extended release though. Which makes me wonder why he isn't ordered a PRN for breakthrough pain. But that's another

  25. Heparin drip disaster

    Lust4life replied to Neuronurse88's topic in General Nursing

    I'd also like to add that travel nurses are not "new hires" they are nurses who pick up contracts with staffing agencies. The hospital works with the agency because they are understaffed and the...
