  1. Glad to be here with you guys!

    Universe93B replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's true - this post has over 1200 views, which is much more than other forums on other topics, like the forums I go to for my hobbies. People should not be afraid of boards and the monitoring...

  2. Lie detector tests for professionals, are you kidding?

    Universe93B posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I talk to the group of people I went to rehab with and some others privately on Reddit, etc and they are all health professionals. I'm hearing more that the monitoring agencies and different Boards...

  3. Has anyone been referred for mental health?

    Universe93B replied to Sam_0896's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm seeing more 5 year contracts given out now. Physicians all get a 5 year contract, no questions asked - there's a large study that showed 5 years for health professionals had the best outcomes...

  4. Anyone else forced to get naked for supervised drug test?

    Universe93B replied to Mik Tea's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Were these labs affiliated with recoverytrek or on their list? You should ask the professional monitoring agency if this is an okay procedure for labs to follow. This sounds completely...

  5. Affinity vs recovery trek in texas

    Universe93B replied to Txrntrying's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm not really sure, I just thought it was different by state and program. In SC, everyone uses Recoverytrek, for daily check in and to record your AA/NA meetings. it gives me anxiety...

    Thank you for posting your thoughts and what you went thru. It

  7. Malpractice Insurance for Nurses on Probation

    Universe93B replied to blackpear1981-MSN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My understanding from others is that most all companies will give you malpractice if you show the monitoring agency is in support of you working and they can send a letter. The rates will be higher in...

  8. Are there confirmatory tests or not? What happens after?

    Universe93B posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Reading from other board orders and experiences, it's hard to tell what happens when you test positive on a Urine ETG/ETS? Are there confirmatory tests such as making you do a Peth blood test or hair...

  9. Are there confirmatory tests or not? What happens after?

    Universe93B replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's rough! Anecdotally, I've heard people failing hire a Urine ETG/ETS and then getting sent to a 4 day evaluation an approved center, which costs $4000 or around there! And everyone in this...

  10. MA SARP

    Universe93B replied to PsychRN67's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You're right - why can't these programs be standardized? And they actually market themselves as evidence-based. Most all of the monitoring programs for physicians don't differ that much from...

  11. MA SARP

    Universe93B replied to PsychRN67's topic in Nurses Recovery

  12. MA SARP

    Universe93B replied to PsychRN67's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Got it, good luck to you! They've switched here to having an end date when you finish the program - monitoring, etc. Usually 5 years

    Universe93B replied to PsychRN67's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks for the link and support - since 2019? You are almost done with the program

  14. Glad to be here with you guys!

    Universe93B replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Glad you came back! I was here early last year when I could see the traffic drop off sharply. I don't get it - you all can still talk about your issues, monitoring stuff, etc on here without anyone...

  15. Peth after 20 days

    Universe93B replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    UPDATE: I forgot to post - but yeah, the Peth DBS was negative. 3 drinks on an empty stomach, test after 20 days, no drinking the prior 7 weeks. Peth tests are becoming more common since...

  16. Scared

    Universe93B replied to Sc8red's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Get a lawyer who specializes in medical board issues and helping ppl get their license back (any field). can you provide some more

  17. Hair Test at Evaluation

    Universe93B replied to KoreyB's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Jean80's post is correct. To add, they have cutoffs of etg when doing the hair etg test. They test the entire strand for etg and if it's below the cutoff, it will result in a negative. That's why...

  18. Completed VA HPMP

    Universe93B replied to catcalling's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My friend is in Virginia HPMP also, I'll try to get more information. But they seem to already have a good bit of info on their website, unlike mine! I'm in the dark for everything. like this...

  19. Has anyone been referred for mental health?

    Universe93B replied to Sam_0896's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Because they put us in even more hoops to jump and more requirements for monitoring. My friend disclosed their bipolar disorder along with their alcohol abuse, so she had to go to a substance use...

  20. Has anyone been referred for mental health?

    Universe93B replied to Sam_0896's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Most monitoring agencies also have a program to monitor and help you for your mental illness. Peth tests are then given to make sure you are taking your antidepressants, etc. But...

  21. finished in Ohio

    Universe93B replied to FoxMulder's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations!! You are lucky - nobody in my program is allowed to finish the early. The number of years is the number of years, no matter how "good" you are doing in the program. most...

  22. Hair Test at Evaluation

    Universe93B replied to KoreyB's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There is some incorrect information on this thread, not related to whether they do a hair evaluation at an evaluation center. Urine ETG/ETS tests at the usual level for medical professions at...

  23. Accidental ETOH Ingestion

    Universe93B replied to GettinthehangRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's 48 hours after you drank from the contaminated water bottle that you took a urine etg test? You're fine. People have drank 1-2 full alcoholic drinks and have tested below the 100ng cutoff...

  24. Alcohol etg - Saliva test

    Universe93B posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I’m in monitoring/probation and instead of urine screens, we have the option to use oral/saliva swabs that’s recorded on an app and then you send it in to test for drugs and alcohol etg. the...

  25. How long until your PEth test results come back?

    Universe93B replied to CommanderRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It has usually taken people 7-14 days to get a result. I'm not sure why it's so slow. Routine or back test might make a difference. how long have you been in monitoring and how many Peth tests...
