  1. How do you know if you've been reported?

    Healer555 replied to Lunacat28's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It does but... it's not reliable as far as I know. I know someone whose ex reported them for alcohol use disorder and the person never ever used alcohol. They got 2

  2. Help to avoid PHMP

    Healer555 replied to ADN244's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That I don't know. If you're innocent I'd do one and take it with you. I'd have your pcp order it, get the results and give you the

  3. Help to avoid PHMP

    Healer555 replied to ADN244's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For a hair test it goes back 3 months and a nail test 12 months. I would have thought you actually had to have a substance use disorder to get a monitoring agreement too but nope. If you...

  4. Help to avoid PHMP

    Healer555 replied to ADN244's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They will order the drug tests. You can be proactive and do hair or nail test. A lot of the time people with no diagnosis get a monitoring agreement regardless. But, not always. Good

  6. +PEth in WHPS? with a job?

    Healer555 replied to birdo98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    As stated above, your test may have been negative. Hopefully thus doesn't happen again but if it does I wouldn't tell on yourself in the future. At best you're looking at more time. Good...

  7. How do people even make it through the monitoring program?

    Healer555 replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Several nurses in my monitoring program, different state, diverted something or other and work in a hospital. Sometimes they had to apply broadly. Good

  8. Hair test for ETG (alcohol metabolite)

    Healer555 replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Fair Working as a nurse impaired or driving impaired you could kill someone. Imo, this is really the essential thing to avoid. Relationships can be ended. Being a victim of a drunk driver or...

  10. Hair test for ETG (alcohol metabolite)

    Healer555 replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know we're also tested for ETS. The mystery of what they test for in a given test is to their advantage. It's probably unlikely they're using hair but you never know. Avoid alcohol. People do beat...

  12. How do people even make it through the monitoring program?

    Healer555 replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The crazy thing is they could do a Hair or nail test to make sure we didn't do anything we weren't supposed to except alcohol and they could breath test for that using a breathalyzer. One person took...

  13. How do people even make it through the monitoring program?

    Healer555 replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Same. I especially miss vacations. We are allowed to go but I refuse to spend time on vacation going to drug test. This too shall pass. Maybe like a kidney stone but it will

  15. Applying to new state

    Healer555 replied to sch76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is done not infrequently. The new state reports to the old state. If you can be choosy pick a state with a shorter monitoring agreement or easier monitoring

  16. Anyone allowed to stay on pain management on TPAPN?

    Healer555 replied to ApriLRNTX's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There's a lawyer who was on long term Suboxone and he was referred to a monitoring program for lawyers. He represented himself and got to continue Suboxone without a monitoring agreement. I don't...

  17. Anyone allowed to stay on pain management on TPAPN?

    Healer555 replied to ApriLRNTX's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Is Gabapentin a controlled substance in your state? They may allow opiates initially and expect you to stop over time. It all depends. We can take anything approved but it buys us a longer monitoring...

  18. Testing schedule

    Are you in a bad mood if you have to test? I get so mad. It ruins my

  19. Testing schedule

    Healer555 replied to 1981flower's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Every state is different. You haven't tested in 5 weeks? That's great. Ours are x times a month. I had times where I tested 3 days in a row. For us it goes by the month as in x times per month as long...

    Healer555 replied to Smit5292's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's an antihistamine. In my state we can take it without a " doctors note", but we have to add it to our monitoring agreement and have it approved. Additionally we have more drug testing and can't...

    Healer555 replied to Smit5292's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Every state is different. We have to use their approved sites. They have different hours. Some are 8 til 5 or 9 til 6. There is a 24 hour site. Make sure the facility is

  23. Urine testing

    Healer555 replied to Scarlet70's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'd make an appointment with those providers ,we have to see physicians for these letters. If it may be a continued issue and it sounds like it may be, you can request alternative testing. I can't do...

  24. Urine testing

    Healer555 replied to Scarlet70's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Where I am if it's dilute they send us instructions on how to make it less likely to be dilute and we get a few more chances. If you have a medical reason why it's dilute see a physician and get a...
