  1. Kentucky Board KARE

    Mscoolmug replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was first hired on in Home Health and got promoted to Regional Educator after about 6 months. I only stayed about a year total because the working environment was terrible. I work for a "second...

    I didn't have money for a lawyer but I wish I did. They wanted a $3-5k retainer. I wasn't not guilty. One guy did tell me that guilty or not, evidence or not, you're going to do some kind of...

    absolutely not meant to be your friend, but it would be cool if they didn't actively try to kick you while you're down. Parole is the worst. I haven't been on parole but I work with the homeless...

    You're incredibly strong. Recovery is not a straight line, as you already well know. It's a front, back, side to side and then a whole jump spin. Your hard work will definitely see you through. The...

    Right. I can't remember it was here or a different form someone was giving advice on how to be in monitoring and still drink alcohol without getting caught and how they do it all the time. (Don't do...

    Dialysis wouldn't hire me. No LTC. I finally got a home health job which wasn't bad. The pay was an adjustment to say the least. I got promoted pretty quickly to Regional Nurse Educator. It paid...

    The BON benefits from the KARE program like you do. Someone IN KARE might have a different opinion. My grass just might be greener on the other side, ya know? Hopefully someone chimes in who has...

    First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on your sobriety! I was not offered KARE. Just a one year monitoring with no stipulations on my license but other disciplinary actions. It's there forever. It was...

    Mscoolmug replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I didn't. I was placed on a 1 year which felt more like a "well we did all this work so we're going to get something back.” Which means it's permanently on my record. No offer of the 5 year plan. I...

    Mscoolmug replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you're talking about me, I don't care LOL I'm no longer in monitoring and I have yet to do anything wrong. If they want my license at this point I'll gift wrap it for them. No other profession has...

    THIS. I understand addiction. This system is not set up for rehab. It's a facade because they do not care. It's putative and that's not fair. I do not have SUD either. Never have. Passed every drug...

    Mscoolmug replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That really sucks because there's no holding them accountable. The system really is set up for an abuse of power. I was lucky, honestly. Mine really did make herself available for questions, guiding...

    When I was finally done with monitoring and I didn't have to check in anymore I had such anxiety over that too. I kept having nightmares I was forgetting to check in or would randomly panic in the day...
