  1. Recovery Trek - Test Options

    Healer555 replied to RecoveryRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    3 years is insane. I don't have a sud, no legal issues yet here I am. I'm not the only one. AA zoom is the easiest part of it. It all depends on how much your license means to you. If I could...

  2. Recovery Trek - Test Options

    Healer555 replied to RecoveryRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    An independent evaluation can decrease time, no guarantee. I think you're mistaken about the therapy. The case managers aren't too bright. I don't see them giving you no monitoring agreement...

  3. Recovery Trek - Test Options

    Healer555 replied to RecoveryRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm doing a 3 year monitoring agreement and I didn't have any legal charges and don't have a sud. I just surrendered. I would contact a lawyer to see who they recommend for an independent evaluation....

    Healer555 replied to RecoveryRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

  7. Recovery Trek - Test Options

    Healer555 replied to RecoveryRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It really depends. It's definitely good they suggested no monitoring agreement. If they come back and say you need one I'd get an independent evaluation which has to be one of theirs. It would at...

  8. PETH testing

    Healer555 replied to Heatherlynn76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Someone in my monitoring program was forgiven for a positive Alcohol test due to mouthwash. So the powers that be think it's legitimate. Someone else had a false positive and doesn't know why. I...

    Healer555 replied to Heatherlynn76's topic in Nurses Recovery

  11. PETH testing

    Healer555 replied to Heatherlynn76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You do this when not in monitoring? After I'm done with monitoring I'm going to live a normal life. I can't imagine living such a restricted life indefinitely. A blood alcohol level not peth seems...

    Healer555 replied to PaddedCellLPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've never heard of it so I Googled what causes an invalid UDS. It said an adulteration to the sample or pH creatine etc out of range. Maybe the MRO decided it was OK and that's why you didn't hear...

    Healer555 replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery
