    OMG. 2 years. That's

  2. Affinity drug testing

    Healer555 replied to Kpp1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Take a picture of what you're taking. Pseudophed and benadryl are 2 of many meds we can't take. They can be abused. We have to have every medication we take approved by an addiction specialist. I...

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

    Healer555 replied to Sam_0896's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For a substance use disorder you are looking at frequent drug tests. Do what you need to to make this easier on yourself is my advice Good

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

    Healer555 replied to Sam_0896's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would skip all of this if I were you since you don't want to be a nurse. Your family would have to try to find out you had action against your license and even if they did you could explain. But if...

  5. Discharge from Monitoring Program

    Healer555 replied to Jean80's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hair tests are positive for 3 months or so. I'd hope that as long as the level is lower and then negative you will be allowed to complete the

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

    Healer555 replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you for replying. I'm in a different state. We were told they close our file 4 years after we are done monitoring. Do you have the same? I wonder what happens in the 4 years before our file is...

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

    Healer555 replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What do you mean you can do things right but things still pop up? When your monitoring agreement ends, does it really

  8. PRN affintiy testing

    Healer555 replied to 1981flower's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Any amount of alcohol will show as positive. I also don't have a substance use disorder but if I want my license I have to keep going through this BS and paying for all of this. My advice is either...

  9. PRN affintiy testing

    Healer555 replied to 1981flower's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm curious, how long after you drank are your tests still positive? You have to go to IOP for a career, because you have a substance use disorder or a lab science career? If you don't have an...

  10. Affinity Drug Test

    Healer555 replied to Nurse_MSNRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Are you in the evaluation process or do you have a monitoring

  12. DUI in Pa but work in WV

    Healer555 replied to xrtuhgyi234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Contact a lawyer. Sometimes they know what evaluator is reasonable and won't just diagnose you with a substance use disorder for a

  13. I had dilute urine :(

    Healer555 replied to Sam_0896's topic in Nurses Recovery

    People with a DUI are forced into AA if they are alcoholics or not, I'm really no different. The meetings are easy. Open meetings are for anyone. One time use of a medication in a suicide attempt...

  14. Glad to be here with you guys!

    Healer555 replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Were the false positive tests a peth test? How do you know it's a peth test? I never know what they are testing for. Another question, did you try to do a hair or nail test to prove your...

  15. Anyone ever go into rehab voluntarily? How do you navigate BON/Work?

    Healer555 replied to spiritualconfront's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Think what you Want but there are people who weren't impaired at work who were reported and HIPPA was broken to get them into a monitoring

  16. Being monitored but would like to move to another state

    Healer555 replied to Michellercruz's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What are you doing now? It's a financial reason I don't leave

  17. I had dilute urine :(

    Healer555 replied to Sam_0896's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It sounds like things work very differently in your state. You have a monitoring agreement but weren't evaluated? You're in individual therapy outside of the monitoring agreement? If so talk to...

  18. I had dilute urine :(

    Healer555 replied to Sam_0896's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sadly, it doesn't matter if you have a substance use disorder or not. We all get the same sentence. I don't have a substance use disorder but I'm doing all that they ask because I can't earn as much...

  19. Anyone ever go into rehab voluntarily? How do you navigate BON/Work?

    Healer555 replied to spiritualconfront's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my required group therapy we were told we are mandated reporters. Perhaps that wasn't true or perhaps it's state specific. I can say that 100% Hippa can be ignored to report a provider for a...

    Sadly it

  21. I had dilute urine :(

    Healer555 replied to Sam_0896's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'll offer advice even though you aren't asking. Be honest with your case manager and say you drank. It's different in each state but in the state where I am they will call it a relapse and send you...

  22. Florida IPN saga continues

    Healer555 replied to Ipnsux's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In New York they can't test for CBD. It's not legal nationwide so you get a monitoring agreement whether you have a substance abuse disorder or not most places so they can profit from

  23. Glad to be here with you guys!

    Healer555 replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    How absolutely ridiculously punitive. The bottom line is that they don't want us using mood altering substances. If you miss a check in that doesn't fall on a test day, you got lucky and it should end...

    What do you mean you missed the 3 allotted for the

  25. Glad to be here with you guys!

    Healer555 replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You can't make the slightest error or more time is added to your sentence. Its a punitive program. The longer we have a monitoring agreement the more they
