    Healer555 replied to Casey09876's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know too many people who were taking a prescription med appropriately and were reported and are in a monitoring agreement. It's sadly true. You can take a controlled substance while working but you...

  2. Is it even worth it?

    Healer555 replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sounds like your brother has a great job. So glad you are doing well. I'd see how things are going for you after rehab and see what exactly you're required to do. The powers that be may...

  3. Is it even worth it?

    Healer555 replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

  4. Is it even worth it?

    Healer555 replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

  10. Be careful in monitoring with urine and blood tests like peth!

    Healer555 replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Healer555 replied to 1981flower's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Healer555 replied to RGSW's topic in Nurses Recovery
