  1. When to disclose to potential employer?

    santi_05 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Interviewing for jobs now. I have a narcotic restriction. I'm applying for jobs that do not require giving controlled substances. My question is when do I disclose? Should I put it in a cover letter?...

  2. Ramp nurse recovery program nj

    santi_05 replied to Anthony Chipoletti's topic in Nurses Recovery

    A lawyer can help but you gotta talk to one about what they've done for past clients and what is reasonable expectation in your case. A nurse in my group had a drug possession charge, but didn't get a...

  3. You can get out of monitoring early

    santi_05 replied to Joshua Compton's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The way I think about monitoring is that I am proving myself to the board of nursing. It is in no way about helping or supporting me through anything. It gets confusing sometimes because the case...

  4. Advice for dealing with addicts?

    santi_05 replied to garnetgirl29's topic in Addictions

    Patient know that you're judging them. One of the most cringe things I've witnessed is other nurses talking to their patients (who have addictions/drug seeking) but it's so obvious from their...

  5. Travel nurses housing question.

    santi_05 replied to mjhillberry's topic in General Nursing

    I've only done it once. I booked it for the entire contract. I used that one website that everyone uses, and some people list minimum number of days. The place I rented had a minimum stay of 90 days,...

  6. Volunteer Nurse Opportunities

    santi_05 replied to lab211's topic in General Nursing

    I've done volunteer work through Public Health dept. In my state they have medical reserve corps, which help during disasters but also things like flu shot drive. I would look to see if your state has...

  7. Humiliated and scared

    santi_05 replied to Overthamoon's topic in General Nursing

    Girl I hope your insurance is good! I am sorry you had to go through that. I know I'd feel just as embarrassed. I don't know, I'm used to people falling asleep on nights so it seems like a crazy reach...

  8. Are you guys going to AA/NA meetings or not, how to track?

    santi_05 replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's wild. Did you get diagnosed with SUD by the same addiction specialist? Have you ever asked your case manager if you can stop going to the addiction specialist at least? It doesn't make sense if...

  9. Are you guys going to AA/NA meetings or not, how to track?

    santi_05 replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What do you do with the addiction specialist then? That is so corrupt OMG so these ppl have a guaranteed income and every incentive to keep you in tx for as long as they get paid. Damn so sorry you...

  10. Are you guys going to AA/NA meetings or not, how to track?

    santi_05 replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You can't see someone in network? I wonder how they chose therapists. It seems fishy that they make you go to their therapists. Can you be discharged from

  11. Losing my ambition

    santi_05 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am a fairly ambitious person, who has largely defined themselves by their career/accomplishments. Sometimes I wonder if I should have had a kid/spouse, especially when I hear other nurses talk about...

  12. Are you guys going to AA/NA meetings or not, how to track?

    santi_05 replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    3 times a week. I don't even go I just log them on the app. My program lets you go remotely but doesn't require signatures. That's crazy they have to go in person I thought because of Covid everything...

  13. Part time jobs while in monitoring

    santi_05 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Has anyone gotten a part time job while in monitoring? I can't do overtime and make less hourly so my income is significantly (~35%) reduced. I was thinking of getting a part time job in...

  14. Recovery- PEth test

    santi_05 replied to Jpweston's topic in Nurses Recovery

    After 2 years, you are allowed to use

  15. Recovery- PEth test

    santi_05 replied to Jpweston's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My guess is that if we knew, it would be more extensive testing. And in my program, I think the more drugs/metabolites they screen for, the more expensive the test. Not knowing what the tests means...

  16. Recovery- PEth test

    santi_05 replied to Jpweston's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It depends on the content of the alcohol. I've read it is very sensitive test but sensitivity can be affected by certain factors (eg if the drinks are spread out over days it is lower vs one episode,...

  17. Texas TPAPN case closed after failing to adhere to practice agreement

    santi_05 replied to Sumi's topic in Nurses Recovery

    $5/mth???? Wow I'm sorry I know I shouldn't be surprised but it costs pennies to send a push notification and I am shocked they want to charge for

  18. Test Codes for Affinity!

    santi_05 replied to gandorx's topic in Nurses Recovery

    H or B? From what I found on FL Probation site, it's on page 18, it looks like a drug test panel but this is also from 2012...

  19. Texas TPAPN case closed after failing to adhere to practice agreement

    santi_05 replied to Sumi's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do you guys use affinity? It sends me a notification every morning at 4 am to check in on the app. It's become a habit at this point for me to check in as soon as I wake up, but I would definitely...

    No but there are nurses who are cut loose at 90

  21. Dried blood spot test

    santi_05 replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just posted this on another thread. We have to do a blood draw, but if they can find same thing from a prick I would prefer that

  22. Power Red Blood Cell Donation for Peth Tests

    santi_05 replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wonder why they make us do blood draw if PeTH can be detected with a finger prick. It is $138 for the test, would imagine a prick is

  23. What kind of treatment is necessary for a relapse?

    santi_05 replied to Sam_0896's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had three positives (back to back) for alcohol and I went into an IOP. My case manager didn't specify the treatment either, just that I had to go to a facility. As long as your subsequent drug...

  24. Can I fight the DOH /PRN

    santi_05 replied to 1981flower's topic in Nurses Recovery

    IDK if you signed a contract, it may not be so simple. I think there is no harm in consulting a lawyer, but it is harder when you have already signed an agreement (presuming that is what happened...

  25. Failed screening

    santi_05 replied to JackieeD's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my program, they would send you for higher level testing. In this case, a hair test would be most likely. If you haven't used, I think you should be fine. Mucinex could cause a false positive, and...
