  1. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I completed VA-HPMP 5 year monitoring program. If anyone has any questions or just need to talk or vent let me know. It is a tedious program and often times you can do everything right and things...

  2. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's not worth the abnormal read it could cause. Lotions and shampoos are very unlikely to cause an issue but hand sanitizer I would not touch. For my face, I used a mix of castor oil and rose hemp...

  3. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What state are you in Shanele? In VA, the handbook is very, very specific and clear. It can be very overwhelming in the beginning but as Healer 555 said it does get better. As far as products and...

  4. Recovery Trek - Test Options

    Recovering RN replied to RecoveryRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Honestly they could run anywhere from $35 up to $111. The deeper into the program the more expensive it got. Toward the end, more expensive specialty tests were

  5. Recovery Trek - Test Options

    Recovering RN replied to RecoveryRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My program also used Recovery Trek and used letters. After a few years, based on cost, you could figure out what was higher/multiple drug panels. Kratom, for us, was a specialty test, and we had to...

  6. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I could not work in healthcare at all. I worked retail for about 4 months. I signed my contract in May. I started my IOP in July. Completed IOP that fall. I had to do individual and group therapy and...

    I did VA HPMP it was rough. 5 years but I made it

  8. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I do not know specifics, only that DC is, I believe, 3 years. I was in VA HPMP and needed a DC license. When I spoke with the program rep in DC for permission for VA to continue monitoring me, she...

  9. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If your Texas license isn't free and clear of any issues, Virginia will not issue a license. Virginia's program is 5 years. DC's program is much more lenient and shorter, not sure if that is an...

  10. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not to scare you, but often times what the evaluation recommends is what they go with, but your situation is unique, especially since they have not restricted you from working at this point. Eileen...

  11. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would guess your lawyer doesn't want to make any type of guess on outcome. There really isn't much more than the substance abuse evaluation that you can do. I would just be honest make sure to sync...

  12. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Usually, when it says yes, then there is another "something" to click on that shows what it is. Typically it is an order, or what probation or restrictions if any are. If your license is unencumbered...

  13. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would just keep living life and praying it all works out. An informal meeting sounds like a slap on the wrist and possibly a written warning. I don't think your license will be affected if it hasn't...

  14. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's hard to say, but with this much time and the BON knowing you are practicing, I think it's likely a probation or reprimand but not the program. I would just pray on it and I think it will turn out...

  15. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm surprised it's taken this long. But you are still working as an RN? That, I believe, goes in your favor. To be honest, HPMP is not great. It's a very archaic and cookie-cutter program that needs...

  16. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was granted what the board calls a "stay" which means my license was not suspended but I had to follow any and all recommendations by HPMP and complete the program . One of the stipulations was I...

  17. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The eval will likely determine what the board decides. If they suggest HPMP or treatment, you can appeal to the board, and then you do go in front of the board. Everything comes down to what the eval...

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Your lawyer will instruct you what to do. Have you been contacted by the investigator yet? They will contact you and ask you a series of questions. They will also ask you who your counsel is. They...

  19. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What state are you in? If you tested positive while on the job you may have to enter the program. It all depends on your state and your board of

  20. Completed VA HPMP

    Recovering RN replied to catcalling's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They are very, very specific about the requirements. It must be exactly as they say, and your monitor must agree to be able to do as they request. I lived in NoVA. I did a call center triage and they...

    Recovering RN replied to catcalling's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Was this in Virginia? It is in the contract that you agree to do all the minutia paperwork and one time however she def would have been given warnings. My employer often was late and they would email...

  22. In HPMP for diversion

    Recovering RN replied to VA-RN75793's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Good luck. You'll get there and thank you. Hang in

  23. In HPMP for diversion

    Recovering RN replied to VA-RN75793's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I believe it depends on your specific circumstances. None of my reports or records were ever public or posted. I was granted a "stay" and nothing would ever be made public unless I failed to hold up...

  24. In HPMP for diversion

    Recovering RN replied to VA-RN75793's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The only time I heard of anyone being asked to go back in for evals and return for treatment was when there was a relapse and positive screens meaning truly positive screens. I had a few issues with...

  25. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    Recovering RN replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think it likely depends on how your state and board of nursing handle things. In Virginia you can be granted a "stay" which means if you comply with all the requirements and have no violations or...
